Catherine Meek, David Hilborn, Bram Cohen, and Matt Mason talk BitTorrent artist tools at SF MusicTech.
Over the course of the past year, we’ve partnered with musicians, filmmakers, and storytellers on a series of experiments. Our goal has been to create a more sustainable distribution model for the Internet’s creators and fans. Within 365 days, we’ve been able to create a legitimate content ecosystem 85-petabytes-big; connecting 16 innovative artists with 170 million activist listeners.
We’ve learned that BitTorrent users invest money and time to support artists. We’ve learned that they want to see better content in the BitTorrent ecosystem. We’ve learned that artists who distribute work via BitTorrent create stronger connections with fans.
And we’ve learned that our work is just beginning. Oh, man.
