Excuse the elliptical heading.

Weedshare is a cool system that enables people that buy a music file to sell it on, and make a little profit from it. The idea is to encourage file-sharing rather than punishing it. You could post the files on a website or send them to friends. If they decide to buy the files, you get a commission.

Unfortunately, recent changes in MS Vista and Windows Media Player 11 mean that the DRM-controlled files no longer play. So until this is resolved, they are suspending distribution indefinitely.

However, the other developers of what is called "meta-distribution", Potato system are still going strong. They use un-DRMed MP3 files to do the same thing.

Check www.potatosystem.com/info/en/index.html

It's interesting for people with busy websites and active fans. From the developers of the MP3 format, no less.
