to see that someone (no idea who or where they are from) used one of my tracks on You Tube:

So I don't get any money from it but I'm not losing any either.
I don't want the DMCA and ACTA stifling my creativity!
That was my first reaction. The factual incorrectness of "Previously, movie crackdowns had concentrated on sites that distributed movie files, most recently using the BitTorrent protocol" is just plain annoying.
When will people get this right?
In my own case I'd have to say this is not true.
It really depends on the profile of the work. If something is heavily marketed then it should make most of it's money immediately after all of the add campaigns and promotions. If as in the case of my music there is no budget for marketing then sales will go up and down sporadically over time and people in different countries will pick up on it at different times because of some random radio play or blog entry, reference in printed media - or indeed forum post.
I choose to both sell the music I make and give it away for free. I sell it in the hope that it might at least cover the costs it makes to make it and give some of it away because...well just because.
Seems to me some people buy music and some get it for free by whatever means and some do a bit of both.
Get some for free here:
http://www.acetonestudio.com/
or buy some here:

also on iTunes, Amazon, eMusic etc.
It is both right and good to have a choice.
