What’s to stop someone buying my music downloads and then putting them in Kazaa?
Nothing. File-sharing is a part of the modern music experience and it's not going to go away. However, many people use file sharing to find songs that they couldn't otherwise get hold of. And don't forget that people will pay for music if it is good and well-priced...
Think of it this way - with MyFlava, you get access to a global audience that can listen to you and buy your music. If only a few people buy your songs, that's a few more than you would have had otherwise. What do you really have to lose? Don't let a few file-sharers stop you reaching your fans.
Okay, how do I get on board?
