NOTE : If your one of those people that dont pay attention to netlabel releases because you have the attitude that "If they are giving it away for free it must not be any good" then you are truly missing out on some amazing music. I feel the crap to gold ratio is the same as you have to deal with digging through crates of vinyl.

i completely agree with you.
the people i know who are doing netlabel stuff love music creatioin and promotion more than anybody else i know. and there is a ton of good shit out there.
here are some that are run by friends of mine:

That wasn't my point at all.

That's exactly what I'm getting at. But I think consumers will become used to not paying, thus reluctant to do so and reacting negatively when suddenly faced with a PayPal icon.
