On a certain level, I think music should be free as in libre. It’s kind of an idea more than anything else. I’m thinking of selling music and then after a certain time (12 months?) it becomes pay what you want.

In terms of DRM I hate it and never want it to be a burden to my listeners. If someone steals it, they probably weren’t going to buy it, but maybe they’ll come to a show/buy a shirt. I don’t like ad supported streaming either, or streaming in general, we already went through the issues of mega record labels, would hate to see steaming services start to dominate music taste/direction.



Im on that side too. Just make all singles free. The album can cost money but it comes with a poster or something. Backstage doc.

In the end, people will pay for live music. And performers pay for the song itself. B2B.
