Pirating My Own Music? (lemm.ee)

submitted 6 days ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

62 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I want to start releasing my own music and have no interest in the corporate streaming platforms. I have only a basic conceptual understanding of torrenting but it seems to me like a nice way of sharing my music with people directly.

What do I need to do and consider in order to make a music release freely available in this way?

Currently my knowledge and experience is limited to using an application on my computer to search for and download files from others but I'm willing to learn.

Any advice or signposting much appreciated :)

Thanks for the link - been down a rabbit hole for the last hour or so! Really interesting. I've never really dealt with crypto but direct transactions look awesome. The fact that it uses open protocols is great too.

Have you released anything on it or are you a listener?

It's built around bitcoin and does not have any shitcoinery.

I'm a listener but value for value is definitely the future. I have myself paid people for thier music & know lots of artists that have made more than they did on centralized platforms.
