Is Weed The Way Of The Future?

Weed Pays you to Share Music Files
Weed has a different view on Internet file-sharing.

Instead of trying to shut down file-sharing, we think people should be paid for it. Instead of punishing fans who don't respect artists' rights, we think it makes more sense to reward those who do.

When you use Weed's software to buy a Weed file and then share the file with someone else who buys it, you'll earn a payment based on the sale price.

20% of the sale price goes to you, 10% of the price goes to the person who shared the file with you, and 5% goes to the person who shared the file with that person.

50% of every sale always goes to the artist or publisher who owns the song. The remaining 15% goes to Weed.

i thought you meant ganja, which is both the way of the future and the past.

however, this weedshare product relies upon windows media files which means to me that it is a dead horse. proprietary file types which require proprietary software to be played are a backward way of going forward, don't do it.

On that fact alone i'd advise anyone not to bother trying weedshare as it has little to do with actual file sharing [and likely has a very limited range of tittles]

better to share files and pass the duchy as well !

but dont you have to pay for the song in the first place

yes yes i have my own weed sharing network B)

in some ways not bad idea, true, but I think any idea making
sharing of thoughts & files openly commercial is not right - cauase
thoughts shairng is important. But for CD selling it is interesting anyway,
david.

but there exist something similar: if you are registered user somewhere
and convince another user to register also, you get paid, I think.

nice dreams...

Smoking weed is good, however dealing it is an excuse for amaters to look important in front of everybody.
