BitTorrent has announced a new download format called BitTorrent Bundle and has partnered with Ultra Music and Kaskade for the launch. The way bundles will work, it seems, is that there will be free content along with content that can be bought, or downloaded after inputing your email. In the case of the Kaskade partnership the torrent has two free downloads; the Dada Life remix of Dynasty, and the trailer for Freaks of Nature. Then theres also 10 minutes of exclusive video from Kaskade’s show at the Staples Center and the Freaks of Nature Digital Tour Booklet, you can download both by giving BitTorrent and Kaskade your email address. This is an interesting and new from of music distribution that we may see more and more producers using.
I’m so excited about this!
I don’t know, only one free song? It’s not like free downloading of music is harming the industry as most of these EDM artists got big AFTER napster and such…. Plus don’t dj’s get most of their money from gigs? (I know I do). Anyway music is art, art is public domain, and if you don’t agree as a musician you are not an artist but a businessman in my view…
You say partner, I say hatch a scheme to get pirates to buy music.
