FrostWire, Sean Fournier, lead the way
p2pnet news view | P2P | Music:- “Progressive jam band Umphrey’s McGee is capturing the attention of the music industry with the pre-order campaign for its upcoming album,” says a Reuters story.
The music industry?
Shouldn’t it be trying to capture the attention of music lovers?
But what else is new? Smart bands have been promoting themselves online on for years.
What is new, though, is the fact that with, “FrostWire 4.17.0, we can promote legal content, or important information using the FrostWire welcome screen,” says the team, going on
We’ve vowed to never use this screen for spam or evil purposes of any kind, only to help content creators of all kinds (musicians, film makers, writers, software programers, photographers, video game shops and independent professionals) that are willing to share some of their work for free, or under creative commons licenses get their message across our ever growing network.
Sean Fournier is the first musician to do so, in only 4 days his 6 track album ‘Oh-my’ was shared via FrostWire by over 25,000 users, at the time of this writing the download count by the torrent tracker is 27,923, saving Sean almost 1 Terabyte of data sent, plus having his music on tens of thousands of computers and who knows into how many portable music players.

I think we can see this sort of event being ignored by the mass media, well done to the Frostwire team.
