The wacky world of mp3.com: Some artists (using the term loosely)
would do anything to get their music downloaded (and get paid for it); and
this includes "download trading" and "download clubs", ripping off
commercial artists' names (as Em In Em, Backstreet 98 Boys Degrees, et al.
may have done),
and even
promoting
their tracks with porn gimmicks
"When Payback for Playback came around, it brought up a whole slew of people
out of the woodwork; it seemed everyone in the world who had a sound card was
recording stuff, and put it in MP3.com, and was in turn doing download
exchanges for Payback for Playback,"
