» The Story of Muxtape

jstn:

muxtape:

What happened, and where we’re going. Muxtape is relaunching as a service exclusively for bands.

Where I’ve been for the last six months.

I’d like to thank the RIAA for once again stifling creativity.  You continue to make America a poor environment for artists.  That’s ok.  Limitations often breed more compelling art.  Hopefully this will be the case.  I have no doubt you will continue to surprise and inspire, Justin.

    ボクにとってこれほど応援したいサービスは無い。もちろん、法令遵守ってのは大事だし他人の権利を侵害したらダメなんだけど、これはそういうサービスじゃないでしょ！ってのが前提。つまり、権利者も利用者もみんなハッピーになれるサービスだったはず。...
