How Does
Weedshare Work ?

Weedshare addresses the issues that
other popular download services have no answer for.
Weedshare acknowledges that as long as music makes a sound, it can be
copied (however imperfectly). Sharing music you love with your friends is
a natural thing to do, so instead of prosecuting people for sharing music,
the Weedshare philosophy is to PAY people to share music!
Here’s how it works: you can play a Weed file three times for free on any
PC. After three free plays, you're asked to pay for the file. You can use
any current Windows Media-compatible player software to play the file. The
Weed software, which keeps track of your account information, is used to
purchase files.
Once you purchase a Weed file, you're free to play it all you want on up
to three PCs. You also can burn the file to CD and play it on your stereo
system, or transfer it to a portable device like the Creative Labs Nomad,
the Rio S10, or any current Windows CE PDA.
Best of all, you can share Weed files with anyone you like, as long as the
files remain in their original form as Windows Media files. And if someone
you share a file with purchases that file, you'll earn a payment for
helping to distribute it.
Specifically, the artist always receives 50% of each sale, and the rest
goes to those who helped distribute the file. You get 20%, the person who
shared the file with you gets 10%, and the person who shared the file with
that person gets 5% of the sale price. Weed receives the final 15% for
service and software maintenance costs. |
