fakescience music store followup
(pic shamelessly nicked from the San Francisco Journal - don't sue me! I'm nice!)
Well, the fake science music store which i wrote about here is up and running. I absolutely love the concept of this, $2US an EP and $5US gets you a longplayer. No janky digital rights management, as fake science and their artists understand that music lovers are happy to pay for music and that DRM kills kittens. It really does.
Read this and tell me it doesnt make you feel good:
"These are some of our favorite bands, and we think they will be yours too. We wanted to create a place where our customers would be considered patrons of the arts rather than consumers. What this means is that you know that your money will go directly to the artists you care about, and that you won't be treated like a thief by being sold encrypted files."
Hell yes. There's also a rather nice writeup by the san-francisco journal that probably doesn't use the words "janky" or "kills kittens", but it's still pretty good. Which explains the concept a little better than I would have anyway.
I truly think this sort of thing is a progressive place for music lovers and artists who want a better deal for each other. Amazing respect to the fake science crew for making it happen.
Go get yourself some fresh music: fakescience
