The record companies are already pissed off about Bandcamp and Soundcloud - it’s just the record companies have no way to sue them.
It’s a good thing though. People are just now starting to understand that their government is becoming their enemy.
I’m buds with a couple of instructors at Musicians Inst. here in Hollywood. It is hard for artists to make money by themselves because the system favors marketing reps and record labels who expertly know the payola’ system on radio and TV. More reason why bands go on tour a lot because tours generate more revenue in the majority for the artists and bands. Well anyways, they’re mostly liberals so eff em..
On the other hand, most people I know of who make money uploading “stuff” don’t use Megaupload because you don’t make money off them. I personally know people who prefer Fileserve, Filesonic or Depositfiles for making money BUT you have to be careful how you “write” the link..
