Filesharing – If You Can’t Beat ‘Em…

For the first time, some major concert promoters are videotaping big concerts and releasing them on the internet as file-shares. “The Vans Warped Tour will distribute DVD-quality tour footage of such indie acts as Sugarcult and Bad Religion for download each day using Altnet, a digital content distributor. Altnet has business and financial ties to Kazaa’s owner, Sharman Networks. Beginning with today’s tour kick-off in Houston, alternative music fans can purchase downloads and burn video singles from the Warped Tour Web site or from file-sharing networks. Pricing has yet to be set.”
