    How do you know? Have they just said they have? Do they have the right to sell their song, for money, off their own homepage without the involvement of the label?

    Let me take this opportunity to plug the Brian Jonestown Massacre. I met the singer outside a gig at the Mercury Lounge in NYC, he was talking about how he refuses to sell the rights to his songs to anyone (and they've put out an album or two on a major label), he controls all his copyrights. BTW, they give away all of their music for free on their homepage.

  5. Music Search? by Poppler · · Score: 1 · on MSN Search Has Arrived
    The music search seems to be absolutely worthless. I was hoping it would aggregate legal, free mp3 music - but instead you're just searching their online music store. What BS.
    Below are some of the indie artists I searched for - and a link to the readily available and FREE mp3s they are giving away that MS has decided not to include in its "music search".

    Sonic Youth (shitload of mp3s for free here)

    The Brian Jonestown Massacre (they give away mp3s of all their songs here, though that doesn't stop MS from trying to sell them at 99 cents a pop)

    Modest Mouse (a couple free mp3s here)

  6. Re:Something you won't see... by kgbspy · · Score: 1 · on Nintendo's Lawsuits Aided by Fans

    "Gerry Garcia supports file sharing from beyond the grave" - now that's a headline I'd like to see!

    In all seriousness, you can add Brian Jonestown Massacre to that list - they have close to their entire back catalogue (songs, videos, live recordings, interviews, etc) available for download from their official site.

  7. Re:This is what we need... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on BMI Reports All-Time Profit High Despite Piracy

    Definitly. I got into that band the same way. Many CDs that I own I originaly burned from a friend or downloaded via p2p. Once I fell in love with them I bought them. Some of the great bands I got aquainted with (and bought at least one if not several of their CDs) because of p2p:
    -Lightning Bolt
    -Manitoba
    -Godspeed You Black Emperor
    -Acid Mothers Temple
    -The Brian Jonestown Massacre (they give away ALL their music for free on their site).

    Though none of these bands are on labels which are members of the RIAA. Maybe that's the one reason they're so aggresive about downloading - if consumers have equal access to all music, they lose their traditional market advantages over indie labels.
