Some music is free, as in the stuff which is given away as promo's. Just like those small packets of laundery detergent. Try going to the supermarket and asking for a free full bottle of detergent........ crazy thought huh ?

My own opinion is that if you think that you have to give away all your music for free, then it's not worth much.

For marketing puropses, in limited amounts that's just fine, but otherwise I'd suggest that it's not worth listening to anyway. It's just more white noise filling an already over crowded space.

Werent you the on recently posted a thread about how you finally sold a song to some website for 20 bucks or something?

So if your view was correct everything you wrote before that wasnt worth anything or anything after.

Music is only worth something if there is a demand for it. There is no demand for music, music is overkill, we have more music in 2012, then we will ever need for the rest of our lives.

So its not a question of value, its a question of getting fans.

If you can get fans interested by giving it away thats great.

Ever go to a mall and have soomebody stop you and ask if u want to taste a cookie or bread or something?

They give it free so u might buy later. If they said, would u like to try this for 2.50? ud walk away. Unless u were real hungry or real fat....
