But you can get most mainstream artists for free already. Check out the VEVO channels on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/VEVO http://www.youtube.com/user/VEVO
Hell, Justin Bieber now has 2,5 BILLION views on his VEVO channel. If that isn't giving away your music for free, then I don't know what is. And apparently he and his record company is making money anyway.
The industry actually moved on, music is free, as long as you listen to it online in a way that you get occasional ads. It's radio, effectively. If you want to be able to listen to it on any device, offline, without ads, well, then it's 0,99$ a song.
