Whatever your seedlimit is, make sure u pass your
downloads on. Don't leave people stuck while
you're being happy with what u wanted. Or leave
one seeder alone seeding to lots of peers. It
happens u get something low profile and it takes
days, or weeks b4 u can leave it to new seeders.
But u don't have to let your computer run 24/7,
people have to be patient

Thoughts On Sustainability
by Kristin Hersh
I often feel there is an inverse relationship
between quality of output and material success in
the music business. This is distressing, but not
out of line with what I've come to expect.
Throwing Muses would wander the halls of Warner
Brothers back in the day, muttering, "You don't
have to suck in order to work here, but it
helps."
Now, however, the financial climate and current
upheaval in the music business mean that musicians
like me are genuinely poor investments for the
traditional powers that be. We do not engage in
lowest common denominator trendiness, and so don't
warrant the expenses of marketing dollars and
company overhead.
Okay, I get that; this is a business. However, I
believe that when you sell toothpaste, you should
be selling a goo that helps prevent cavities and
when you sell music, you should be selling sound
that enriches the listener's inner life. There is
today a twisted kind of natural selection in the
entertainment industry -- a sort of "survival of
the blandest" -- the result, I imagine, of
mind-f*****g marketing techniques, bandwagon
appeal, hype. To me this stuff is ugly, not
beautiful.
Given this, I can only assume that record labels
are not for me. I've said it before -- I will
always play music -- but in the past, it was a
record company's job to make sure you heard that
music. They sold their product; they had funded
it, it was theirs to sell. How to sell music
without them? I liken our situation to that of the
family farmer's -- how can we keep from going
under without going corporate?
This is what I think: we specialize -- we offer
an organic product. It is lumpy and expensive and
made with love and it can save you. It's the right
thing to do. It isn't shiny or poisonous, which
can be disconcerting to people who've been raised
on shiny poison, but it's natural, it's high-end
and we want you to eat it.
To that end, I think I need to engage in a
grassroots kind of capitalism, choosing principles
over profits, values over image, ideals over
marketing. I have to create a permeable membrane
between artist and listener -- I'm a craftsperson,
after all. The church of the rock star that the
music industry televangelists hawk has always been
anathema to me anyway. This is about songs and
sounds, nothing else.
Music is a tenuous profession in good times, hard
times mean some of us disappear. I'm not looking
for pity, but collaboration. Coming to you is the
best way I can think of to continue being a
musician.
The model is not new, it's akin to public radio's
listener supported programming and Community
Supported Agriculture's subscriptions to
underwrite crops. In other words, music grows on
trees, but money doesn't and I'm unwilling to suck
in order to work here. Therein lies the value
proposition. This little business will be
interactive and intelligent; you will not be lied
to, no shiny poison, no middle man.
The idea of relying on listeners, treating music
as a cooperative, is humbling, yet interesting to
me. This is a bit of a manifesto, I'm sorry, and
now I'll shut up, but I wonder if we might be able
to do this together.
