Because no one but your friends and maybe your greasy old grandma are going to buy copies at first. Sure, you might sell a couple here and there at shows and if you really acquire a nice regional fan base you might get rid of a couple boxes.

Yay! People are hearing your music you worked so hard on.

But make a.torrent file and upload your music to a couple p2p sites and you'll have thousands of downloads in days.

Sure, you might not be making any money off of that plan, but you'll have people the world over becoming familiar with your name. Ten and twenty years ago that was unheard of.


Internet. you're NOT just for porn!
