[OT] Internet Censorship

[Bob Sneidar]

As usual it's the middle man that is getting rich. But there ARE ways to distribute now that can bypass them. Unfortunately, it's hard to rise above the noise of mediocrity in that soup, if the artist really is exceptional. 

I have ideas for a website that had some kind of voting system, where the more you voted, the more votes you could make, only 3 a day at first, 7 later, and so on scaling up to as many as you wanted if you voted often. Hopefully this would cause the cream to rise to the top, much like YouTube.
