One artist's view of filesharing

Scott Andrew Lepera, previously featured in our Audio section a couple years back, has a great post today looking at the benefits and costs of filesharing to a small, independent artist. He weighs the pros and cons of both filesharing and digital rights management (DRM), and comes to a different conclusion than he once held. It’s interesting stuff that a lot of other net-based musicians can likely relate to.
