Sir Mix-A-Lot Using Weed To Distribute Music

An anonymous reader writes "Hip-hop musician Sir Mix-A-Lot has made his new CD Daddy's Home available for download using Weed technology. Weed is a relatively new file sharing system based principles of shareware and referrals. You download the DRM WMA weed file and can listen to it 3 times on any computer before deciding to purchase it or not. If you do purchase it (at a price set by the artist), you will receive referral fees (20%, 10%, 5%) for the next 3 generations of people that purchase your copy. The artist always receives 50% of the price. Certainly an interesting approach to distributing music in a world of p2p and iTunes."

Or use Linux for that matter

Thank you!

I can't believe moderators wasted their valuable mod points, which can be used to raise up good posts to help the community, to knock down this bit of mild humor.

Besides, my brother's a musician and I do know what I'm talking about. ;-)

C'mon, hit me again. I double-dare you.
