..but what genuine and sincere 'independant' artist would use a torrent? They are synonymous with piratied material, always have been and always will be.


Why not just make a basic website and advertise like normal people do?


I never have caught onto the concept of uploading something to be file shared.
I can't think of one thing that needs to be on a filesharing network of sorts, except maybe when demos or patches for software is released and the main site(s) it's hosted on, are bogged down with network traffic. But those situations are a miniscule amount compared to illegal filesharing incidents.



If you don't have your own website, then you can setup your own ftp, and failing that, you can upload to a database somewhere.


I think it's a great move on Comcast's part. It's their networks anyways, why should decent paying customers be bogged down, so a bunch of fifteen year old twits can seed and share their bootlegged rippoffed Anime movies?

Because the bandwidth costs, or is capped. It makes perfect sense for an artist to use torrents for distribution. It's a lot cheaper to pay for the bandwidth of a few torrent files being downloaded off of your site, as opposed to an entire album.
