interesting thread over at rwd (http://www.rwdmag.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=35762) which seems to have spawned a whole series of discussions and subtopics.
of note:
how should individual tracks be distributed to those who can't or won't buy vinyl? would a legal download site work for grime? is there room for some entrepreneurial input in the form of licencing to an established site like itunes etc?
do mp3 bloggers feel in any way involved in this issue of pre-release downloads? i know mp3 blogs to tend to target a different demographic to kids on road, but who's to say it's not helping the spread of leaks and bootlegs? i have no issue with the posting of sets from pirates.. and i'm not sure i feel that strongly about posting tunes, but i'm playing devil's advocate and would like to know your opinions..
