This really is nothing considering that they help in the protection of copyrights. I don't think I really want to know more then that about these societies.

I use stumble and have stumbled a couple of these posts. Since Wicked Whammy uses Feedburner It would be easy to activate the feedflare option and chooses those buttons to be added. I can look into as it has been a while since I did it for my own blog. Also Mehe if you have a social networking profile odds are you have a blog you just don't use it. I have pointed this out to my own readers who wanted to practice writing before submitting to my blog. Though at this time noone has submitted any music related articles. @ Mehe that is a good point about Digg. I use stumble and have stumbled a couple of these posts.

Beta? With the music store in the background I can imagine that you could come up with some pretty cool bells and whistles to promote and reward people for sharing their music. Time will tell if it is one site too many... I like this blog btw, just discovered. No links to I digg or recommend it? I don't have a blog of my own so can't link.

The real value that Prefueled might offer is extending artists' music distribution to the streets and thus giving artists more visibility, if nothing else. For unsigned artists I see giving away music for free as the most reasonable option. Although, it might be that music consumers, who are not so Internet savvy, are much more willing to actually pay for music since they have less know-how about music piracy. As for the copyright collectives, according to my knowledge record labels don't get most of the funds. I think copyright collectives can provide a valuable service for the artist. It always depends on the case in question, but generally speaking copyright collectives oversee that your songs are not abused or used without permission. They try to make sure that everytime your songs are played on the radio, reproduced or publicly performed, you get your share of revenue. If the artist doesn't have a record label or a publisher, the artist gets all the revenue. These are fairly complicated issues and I recommend for everyone to examine these websites: http://www.bemuso.com/musicbiz/musiccopyright.html#howissomethingcopyright http://www.mustard-mg.com/musbiz/copyrightgeneral.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_collective Netvalar, I do agree with you about the current amount of social networking sites, too much is too much.

That said I took a look for myself and it does look great. For selling music I have only the concern that a unsigned artist owns the copyrights and so the payments to the copyright societys is taking money from the Indie artist and putting it into a pool to which the labels will get most of the funds.
