Wait, we have to learn this again?

Did we not do this... 20 years ago, with the music industry?

With the music industry, it's two-ways.

The first is getting the artist recognition. Indie bands had took up BitTorrent by torrenting their material for people to download, check out and possibly support.

Othertimes, it was a way to sample other music sources so people can then decide to support and even go to concerts of said band.
