Indie do-gooders unite!
If you love indie music, like I know you do, you know that the road to independent success is long and hard. In this age of technology where exposure is based on cyber communication and internet word of mouth, your favorite beloved indie acts are being robbed of the fruits of their labor by a generation of pirates who thoughtlessly steal indie artists’ songs and any other booty they can get their PCs on.
Not to fear indie fans — there is a way to get your favorite music, support your indie art, and cut down on that pirate guilt.
Kerchoonz.com, scheduled to launch in June, allows users to access free downloads, whilst artists, whether internationally acclaimed or as yet unsigned, are paid each time their work is streamed or downloaded. This can only spell good news for the thousands of artists who have, since the dawn of the internet, been royally ripped off.
In a direct attempt to combat illegal file sharing and compensate artists, Kerchoonz.com, is the first integrated social networking and media site to legally enable streaming and download of music, videos and online games, whilst paying the featured artists and creators of music. Kerchoonz is a site built by musicians for musicians with an aim to deliver music, a fun experience and most importantly give you music for free whilst paying the artists!

Hey, what beats free music (legal, of course!) for absolutely nothing? Well, technically you do have to make a couple of clicks to download the material, but it will be well worth the effort.
