Hello everybody!
Today marks the launch of the PPCA’s Creative Commons torrent tracker. We have launched this as a way way of showing the world that P2P technology can be used to benefit artists, and to show artists how to use it as a marketing tool.
If Filesharing would be considered marketing by artists, then it would enable them quick, cheap and easy access to a global distribution network. The current distribution model is dead, the market must evolve.

This is great!
Wonderful!
Il était temps que le Canada joigne le mouvement. Longue vie!
Exx-Traddition est très honoré d’être parmi les premiers groupes à partager sa musique grâce au Captain!!
It is an honor for Exx-Traddition to be one of the first bands to share its music through the Captain!!
Yaaarrh!
I think it’s a great move by PPoC to start a tracker. Who are you catering to though? The RIAA already have at least two Parties: the Liberals and Conservatives! Copyright law as it exists was formed by powerful lobby groups, not the people.
I was excited about Canada’s new Pirate Party but I was hoping you would be representing the millions of Canadian ‘Pirates!’ Make a statement, let the tracker share everything. Show the world that a P2P tracker is a public service. You don’t need to ‘show’ the world that P2P technology can benefit artists…it already does benefit artists.
htis is really great, does the Uk branch also look to aliliate with you ?
just a heads up it appears we have a Great Uk based music writer/performer by the name of Dan bull….
perhaps you can commission an official song form him..
