The South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival is one of the largest and most popular in the United States.
For the fifth year in a row, SXSW has released a DRM-free, RIAA-safe collection of songs totaling 6 GB, which can all be downloaded for free, thanks to BitTorrent.

Disclaimer: This post is about DRM free music. Bit Torrent is a file-sharing technology. The technology itself can be used for both legal and illegal purposes, just as a car can be used to speed or to drive the speed limit, or a camera can be used for family portraits or child pornography. Ultimately, how the technology is used is at the discretion of the individual user.
DBSTalk.com does not condone the piracy of copyrighted material in any way.

You're welcome.

I think this is the future of digital arts and it's a poster child of why the RIAA is fighting file-sharing tooth and nail.

Their Model: Artist --> Record Company --> Consumer
New Model: Artist --> Consumer

See what's mi$$ing?

Very nice. Good info.

I'll admit I know nothing about bit torrent stuff. Can someone point me to a "bit torrent for dummies" resource?

Thanks

Thanks for all your input in this thread deltafowler. Thanks to a bit of instruction and prompting I've got μTorrent up and running. :up:
