Drawing Attention to Something Cool To Download...

...and its legal!!!!

A band called the Decemberists have released a video clip (that's pretty damn sweet) as a TORRENT DOWNLOAD. Yes...here's the link to their page that tells you how to download it...http://decemberists.com/16mw-torrent.html

and their main page http://decemberists.com

I think there's something with this, as MTV and its second iteration becomes less and less a videoclip haven, the releasing of video clips as torrents is a brilliant idea!!! This way it can spread by word of mouth, and i think they've commented on triplej that they've had a tens of thousands of downloads so far!!! The combination of A) a really kickass song B) really kickass video clip C) ability to make people aware of its existence D) and making it available as a torrent download seems like a really really really good idea!

So, how about designing a website that is like nforce.nl, but only for videoclips and audio that is intentionally released by bands etc for distribution over torrent. Anyone wanna help? Not sure if this is already happened anywhere else, but I'm happy to try and get one up and running!!! Dave?
