Gollum,

"That's not on you more that's on your users, they sell too, they need a license too that says that they can win money with that IP. Nowadays law doesn't allow that. We're labeled just as "consumers" (maybe your system could change that)."

Yes, our system has a "new license" -- that the artist simply selects on the website. The artist chooses "redistribution on Bitmunk" as a part of their license, which allows all users on Bitmunk to redistribute their work. They must choose this in order for their work to be available for sale. By choosing this, it grants all Bitmunk users the right to trade their work over Bitmunk.

Well have to see how this pans out with respect to all of the major players in the music industry. We are hopeful that they will see us as the solution to the problem and work with us. Thank you for your offering your opinion.

Bitmunk is designed to help grow the industry of ideas -- and allow people that want to make a living off of their ideas come and sell them to others who want to share them. We don't believe in taking control away from any of the people involved in that process -- rather we believe in empowering them all so that everyone can benefit. We believe this is the best solution possible and we will do our best to achieve it.

It may end up that we were only a stepping stone in making a truly fair and mutually beneficial marketplace of ideas possible, however, we believe that we will be the keystone.

"One thing more, as I said earlier, I will watch bitmunk (damn! I always write chipmunk in the first place :-) closely. For me it's the first time I see a P2P effort that seems to try to solve the problem to both users and corporations. But that means you're fighting with both, that's why you have my respect."

Well thank you very much, it is certainly appreciated :).
