One of my favourite sources for CC licensed music, Jamendo, announced earlier this afternoon that they have distributed over 1 million albums through their site:
Jamendo, the free music community, has distributed freely and legally more than one million albums using the popular peer to peer technology called BitTorrent.
For sure, the Gold or Platinium record threshold depends of the country and Jamendo acts globally, anyway, we are very proud that our trackers have crossed the million mark.
This figure is the minimum indicative number of the total of complete albums we have distributed so far. Peer to peer technology is not a matter of control and BitTorrent is not the only peer to peer protocol, we also support the eMule/eDonkey technology where it is even harder to have an idea of the number of distributed albums. Projecting the traffic of our mldonkey servers, we believe that we can add 50% more, bringing us to the level of one million and an half of complete albums distributed in 2 years.
That is pretty impressive. Congratulations!
