Lots to discuss here, but I'll just ask a quick question as I'm confused.

How does giving your music away for free make you more money than accepting a pittance from a recording industry that uses it's influence and contacts to go out and sell your music for you? If artists usually don't make a second or third album because they can't afford it, surely the answer isn't to decimate their primary source of income?
