Press Release Author = The Weed Files
Industry = Entertainment
Press Release Summary = With the launch of its Artist Area featuring unlimited
uploads and free lifetime hosting, The Weed Files provides virtually costless
do-it-yourself online music distribution.
Press Release Body = Artists and labels are invited to sign up for a free account at
artists.weed-files.com where they'll be able to create artist pages, upload Weed
files and promotional material such as photos and banners, and select featured and
podsafe files.
Downloadable at no cost, Weed files can be played 3 times for free and shared
legally. Once bought, the files can be played at will, burned to CD, and transferred
to a portable player. The artists get 50% on every sale of their files, and don't
need to be signed to a label or even have a full album produced to get started. The
listeners who redistribute their files are rewarded with up to 20% of the sales
price.
"For music fans, Weed files are a great way to actively support the artists they
like. For the artists, it's an opportunity to get the most of already existing
networks of contacts and the seemingly unlimited connectivity of the Internet," said
Christopher Stewart, owner of The Weed Files. "For podcasters, music bloggers, and
P2P users, Weed files have the potential to turn hobbies into economically
profitable activities. It really is a win-win solution for everybody involved."
To date, close to 90,000 titles have been "Weedified" including music from such
diverse artists as Tom Waits, Count Basie, The Presidents of The United States of
America, Roger Joseph Manning Jr., Abby Travis, Kelly Clarkson, and countless
others.
