Just like there's abnoxious political ways aplenty to get
what you want (ex. making paying taxes SO complex that
nobody can possibly comprehend them so they can make you pay
stuff without you knowing what the hell is happening)...
there's annoying ways I'm sure to force bastards to buy your
music rather than downloading it for free. Like say a
brilliant artist like autechre got fed up with this crap,
they could put up a website and make people pay them
directly (so they get 100%of the profit, a label gets none)
and they could make all their tracks listed under different
aliases with hard to remember names like j19344... so nobody
would remember what to look for when downloading them for
free. Basically the concept is to make downloading them for
free a bigger pain in the ass than just buying them (you
have to smack consumers on the head to make them pay
attention). The only problem is that when one person buys it
they could just upload the tracks to soulseek as autechre
1,2,3,4,5,6 etc. There must be a bette way...
