If you've been watching the war over online music, you've likely found
yourself alternately amused and appalled by the industry's attempts to
sue their own customers into submission and to keep us from buying
just the music we want at a reasonable price. Single song downloads?
They hate 'em. Consistent pricing? Hate. Taking the music you've
paid for and using it on a different device? Hate, hate, hate.
The artists mostly seem to be on the other side, either because they'd
rather people listen to their music and pay whatever seems fair, or
because they're resigned to being screwed over and would rather it be
the fans than industry execs who're doing the screwing. But a few are
taking advantage of the opportunities the net offers. Like Harvey
Danger, which offers a free download of its latest album
on its website. What
better way to introduce itself, and, if all goes well, to get new fans
for its music?
So head on over to
HarveyDanger.com and grab a
download of Little by Little. And if you like it, try
King James Version. It's not free, but at least it's
reasonable. At least until the record companies have their way with
Uncle Steve.
