setting up a digital label

[judas_beast]

i dont know, send your music to juno, beatport etc and ask if they want to distribute it, but it is kinda gay/futile to charge for net releases, profits are miserable.

you can copyright your material, host it and all for free.

Profits for mp3 sales aren't all that bad. It depends which sites you're on and what kind of music you're selling. There are MP3 distributors now who will handle 100+ online stores for you at the cost of around 10-15% of your profits. Even if you do mediocre sales, the 250 euros every few months is better than nothing. I'm all for free music and not so much for going digital, but having the artistic freedom and not risking thousands of dollars on 20 minutes of music is extremely inviting.

Do tell.
