Where Indie Artists Get Everything

Posted by michael on from the no-middle-man dept.

More information can be had here or here."

    As for 0 artists, you're right. We launched about 36-48 hours ago, the idea's been in development for about 6 months.

    Per bandwidth, 300gb/mo is $95.00. If I need more, I can get 2tb/mo for about $600/mo.

    As far as keeping 0%, that's absolutely no joke. When you pay for an artist's CD, the money moves from your bank through the processor (2CheckOut) directly to the artist. We keep nothing because we're not even in the payment stream.

    My expenses for now are $10/month for cheap hosting. I think I can handle it. :-) Remember, if there was no opportunity to stay in business, the idea wouldn't have been started. We're not interested in being a dot-bomb.

    Peace.
