SpiralFrog……and our variation

So, as you may have seen on your tellyboxes last night, music on the internet is now going to be FREE thanks to SpiralFrog and their new friends at Universal. Naturally, this will end piracy, stop file sharing and save the music business. How clever!

It’s so crazy and simple it's even given us an idea.

Please feel free to circulate this genuine offer to all and sundry


CALLING ALL INDEPENDENT ONLINE RETAILERS.

Do you sell your niche product to a small but dedicated group of people?

We’re talking about a customer base in the region of 100 people to 20 thousand people.

Nice, niche stuff.

Well we, Friends of the Stars, also have a niche product that we want to sell to a small but dedicated group of people.

Perhaps we could talk? Here’s what we propose.

If you give us $10, we’ll send you 5 tracks from our forthcoming album. You can then distribute these 5 tracks to your small but dedicated group of customers free of charge, free of DRM and with our absolute permission.

You can send these songs as a goodwill gesture to existing clients, or use them as part of an offer for a new product. It's your $10, so it's your call.

Please feel free to tell your small but dedicated group of customers they can do with the music what they wish. They can share it, they can burn it to CD, and they can even ignore and delete it should they wish.

Moreover, if you’d like to send us a sample of your product, then please do so. If we like it, we’ll take a picture of one of the band with your product. We’ll send you this picture and, if you wish, you can distribute it to your small but dedicated group of customers along with the music. We’ll also post the picture here….and (once again if we like it) endorse your product.
