Imagine there are no record labels, just artists connecting directly with fans.  No middle man required.

Imagine there’s no RIAA and sharing music was legal, free and unrestricted.

Imagine if fans were free to share any music from their favourite artists, helping them reach a diverse audience. You can’t buy that kind of publicity. Literally.

Imagine portable devices designed to make sharing media between friends easy… like Zune‘s squirt feature, but without the DRM.

Imagine if your portable music player was a short-range private radio station and friends nearby could listen in via their own media devices.

Imagine media sharing as just another form of communication, like sending an SMS text message.

Can you imagine?
