Coming Soon To A BitTorrenting Site Near You: Music Magazines

Every music(especially Rolling Stone and Blender) and entertainment magazine has encouraged people to download music since the late 90's. It would be pretty cool to see some of them suffer the same fate the music labels and retailers have dealt with.

If that list on the lower right-hand side of the cover includes bands that have members included in the pictorial, 1. Since when is Evanescence metal? 2. When did Amy Lee stop getting pissed off by being objectified?

@niwi: IANAL (I am not a lady), but I hear that some womyn dress sexily to please themselves, or something.

It's always nice to see female musicians taking their careers seriously.

More Cristina Scabbia = a good day for me. I say bring it any way you like; I'll take it.

I've tried a digital magazine subscription before. Maybe I'm reaching heretofore unknown plateaus of laziness, but scrolling down through pages is was much more of a pain in the ass than just flipping through them.

.....My cousin works for the local newspaper, and he says that advertising is where most publications make their money. The money you pay to get your paper or magazine delivered basically pays for printing and distribution.

.....If most budding young musicians are broadband-connected, the publishers better get on the stick and get it out on the web, or risk going bankrupt. Putting the magazine out in .pdf would keep adblock plus from stripping the ads, too.

.....Frankly, though, I'm stumped at who would bother to take the time to scan an entire issue of "Revolver" and post it without getting paid!

@Hamster-Style: You know that's who I thought it was...Too bad both of those bands suck.

Still, pretty cool that Kylesa is on that hottest chicks tour. They offset the crappiness.

This really isn't all that new - slightly newer than whole books in PDF format, and it's pretty widespread.

Personally, I think it's more an indication that now that people realize they can steal practically anything that can be stored as data, they're going to steal everything they can avoid paying for.

Decibel pretty much gives away their whole mag for free on their website. I bet it's helping sales more than hurting...
