The debate over whether or not music/entertainment should be
free (e.g., digital piracy, intellectual property) is often ruled by moral
assertions. While either side of the argument has its merits, the pragmatic
truth is that it doesn’t really matter. People have enough access to free music
that if you’re abstaining based on moral objections, you’re missing the boat as
you make your stand on what is sure to turn out to be a sinking desert island.
Don’t think of giving your music away as giving away your blood, sweat, and
tears, think of it as free advertising. If you don’t have a strong following,
you can’t seriously expect to get one if all your potential fans have to pay
for songs they haven’t heard yet. Especially while bands that they already know
they enjoy are giving away their for free.
