Buying albums doesn't support the talent - it supports the suits. Margin wise, artists make jack shit from albums. They make significantly higher cuts from touring, but even that isn't enough. I wish there was an easy way to donate to the bands directly. No TPS and no big labels taking 90%. Clean, easy, and direct. Tipjoy are you listening? :)

Of course, most people don't pirate for that reason -- they do it because it's free. A site for any band to upload their music to be available for free with a built in donation system would be popular indeed. Maybe even profitable?

Music is ridiculously litigious, but we have plans for the space. If you like, you can submit any band's site to Tipjoy right now, e.g. http://tipjoy.com/joy/90578/ http://tipjoy.com/joy/90578/
