Safira's Opinion
Well honestly I don't see why an artist would put their download for sale on RDW instead of making the download free. $0.99 does not make a positive difference when you may only make $2 if you're lucky and you would prob have to be an established artist for anyone to buy it.
If you dont want your chunes downloaded then dont add them to the internet. Or dont add the full versions. People dont need permission to download tracks these days they have softwares to record whatever is streamed. Putting the chunes for sale will drive your listeners away knowing that the reggae communities dont like buying a single file.
Put your cd/mixtapes for sale and they will buy the hard copies. Thats just my opinion still. As an artist I would never put my tracks on sale on RDW. This si a community to upload ur tracks and get reviews and feedbacks. When I upload my tracks I want it to be streamed, downloaded and reviewed because the more people have my chunes is the more people knows about my work of art and the more my chunes spread is the more opportunities I have in making dubplates.
Look at it I gave up $0.99 for a $100.00 dubplate. Makes better sense right? Sell the tracks for $0.99 and 2 people buy it and ur chune takes years to be mention by word of mouth. Have it downloaded free by 200 people along the way! Hmm possibility is endless of exposure.
