Our Little Ones post didn't get a lot of comments about the music itself, just the way it's presented- in this case, a stream you can't download.Apparently, it proves we're "in the label PR machine's pocket" when we don't just post an mp3.We clear every single mp3 we post for a couple (obvious) reasons and sometimes a band or label isn't comfortable with making an mp3 available for download when we ask, in which case we post it as a stream.They're not paying us to post it, or rewarding us in any other way.Well, we're rewarded by not having them hate us, but keep in mind some of these labels are also run by people who love the music they're putting out and they've got a right to decide if they want mp3s floating around.Other ones are giant faceless corporations who don't really get anything and are using slave labor to boost D3spoil3r's friend count, but that doesn't mean there aren't also good bands on said label whose management won't let some track loose as an mp3.
Anyway, here's the question: would you prefer that we not post a track at all if we can't post a downloadable mp3?
