A lot of the music posted is a single here, a single there - often before official release. Sometimes it isn't weeks until that single (or larger album) is available for purchase.
Plus, for the electronic/DJ side of things, many of the tracks posted are remixes which aren't ever for sale (it seems). But from a scale standpoint, you would think that there might be some sort of revenue opportunity there.
- jlarocco 11y agoI don't see how that changes anything. Post the single with a "Available to buy on <some date>" notice. When it's officially released, take down the notice and put up "Buy now" buttons. And there's no reason they have to make every song available for sale or every song that's for sale available for streaming.
- tomaskafka 11y agoEven better, either 'Let me know when it's available' or 'Auto-buy and add to my collection when it's out'.
- floatrock 11y ago> many of the tracks posted are remixes which aren't ever for sale (it seems) Isn't there a fair-use provision where you can remix/sample works as long as you don't sell the derivative work or something like that? I think that's how a lot of the electronic music stuff works... people freely mix and remix stuff, give it away for free, and make their income doing live events and shows. That's my sense... anyone know if I got these details right?
