I started building it 6 months ago and have essentially gone live this week. I have been surprised already at the fact that people are willing to pay for creative commons music and not just download it. I don't think the market for buying music is going away but combining free content with paid content at prices below that of the major digital download stores does go along way to starting a community as well as generating revenue for artists.

We are an independent record label not a big bad corporation out to sue you for file sharing, we WANT you to spread our music around. With such an overcrowded market place giving away your music is essential in my opinion. The biggest problem for emerging indie artists today is obscurity, not piracy.

It's a great way to get your music out there, my recent releases have had over 1300 downloads and been linked to by places as diverse as Hungary and Bolivia, as well as the Duke University Libraries.
