Since the internet become a public resource (thanks, Al), artists now have a way to share their work without selling off the rights to some corporate monster. Several have taken this route and put all their work, or at least all that was produced since free distribution via the net became a realistic option.
I can think of three. I am sure there are many more and encourage others to let us DUers know about other musicians who have put all their recent music online for free (or donation optional) copying and listening. I am posting a link to the three sites I have in mind along with a link to a favorite mp3 or video download.
This is one part of today's resistance movement. Join it. Support it. Share it. Spread it.
