I want to start releasing my own music and have no interest in the corporate streaming platforms. I have only a basic conceptual understanding of torrenting but it seems to me like a nice way of sharing my music with people directly.
What do I need to do and consider in order to make a music release freely available in this way?
Currently my knowledge and experience is limited to using an application on my computer to search for and download files from others but I’m willing to learn.
Did you release it through a publisher of some kind? If not, it wouldn’t matter because you have the full rights and the onus would be on you to take legal action in anyone that downloaded it.
Nothing is released yet. I would be happy for people to download my music to listen to without restrictions, which is why I’m looking into making it available as torrents.
