Byron Fry: there's theoretically no stopping the theft of my music

Byron Fry  In my mind, once I put up a complete song ANYWHERE on the 'net, I've lost control over it, period. Thanks to piracy, there's theoretically no stopping the theft of my music until it reaches every human, right? So what I did with "Combustible" is make it a gimme album; I put it up on internet streaming radio stations like

where it gets played and gets the word out and I basically don't make money. Some internet stations pay royalties but they're miniscule. It's standard practice to make your tunes available to others as feeds (not as downloads) so they can share and help you get the word out about your project. What all this amounts to is chum in the water, and I haven't put anything from my next album ("Explosive") up other than as excerpt. When I release that album, it'll be to the mailing list I've collected through whoring out Combustible, and at least the first round will be paid purchases. After a year or two, maybe then I'll put up Explosive as free stream, but not 'til then.
The record industry per se doesn't exist anymore; we've become sellers of T-Shirts, coffee mugs, hats and such. As long as getting your music stolen from you leads to people wanting to buy T-Shirts from you, you're supposed to be alright with it.
