Crows Count on BitTorrent

A LITTLE BITTORRENT MUSIC: The Counting Crows are turning to file-sharing to promote their latest music, offering a “BitTorrent Bundle” that includes four tracks, hi-res album art and liner notes. "It's a way to connect with anyone, anywhere, anytime," Crows frontman Adam Duritz explained. "It's the cure for Babel. These are our new radio stations. Nobody's carrying a boombox on their shoulder waiting for you to tell them what they can listen to anymore. But everyone has an iPod in their pocket and a choice. Everyone." The Crows haven’t been with a major label since leaving Geffen Records in 2009. "The record business was never all that great for bands," Duritz recently told Torrentfreak. "It was always a 99 percent failure rate for bands. Even if you did do well record labels took 80 percent of your revenue and locked up your rights. And they are completely incompetent." Of course, he doesn’t mention the fact, without a major label, no one would’ve ever heard of the band in the first place. (5/15a)
