Good point about the difficulty of setting up OpenTape for an average music lover.
Your argument led me to thinking about the difference between Muxtape/OpenTape and the mixtapes that DJs have been posting online for years.
One major difference is that most mixtapes I see have no track listings, and therefore record companies are not able to pinpoint copyright violations efficiently. I suppose then the questions is: How important is the track listing to the success of Muxtape?
Another reason is obscurity of the site/DJ. But if the Muxtape community fragments into a gaggle of OpenTape sites, perhaps it will have the same effect.
- nickb 18y agoGreat points! Mixtapes also had the quality of a physical good which meant that you couldn't mass produce them easily so RIAA etc couldn't do much. Muxtape makes distribution easy.
