@jamesbritt @fstateaudio @yoniden @jessica im glad we're having this conversation and i think we should add @etherdiver @elsemusic @limneticvillains and maybe many more than im forgetting at the moment.

if we can back up really quick... i think the problem that has *always* existed is that the means on distribution is not in the hands of the artists. i dont know if relying on anything amazon-wise is going to be much more than a temporary bandaid on the problem. as @jamesbritt suggested...and this works for most of us but maybe not for ether diver and anyone else with serious numbers.... we go the very clunky route of emailing zips to our fans and then can paypal (but maybe librepay?) the money to the artists.
i have a NAS at home that i've been using to stream my own audio collection where ever i go. is there something we can do with that? if we have a handful of NAS's, can they somehow be networked together, mirroring content, and providing streaming for a decent amount of people? we also need someone who knows much more about IT than me. when i have the NAS connected to a URL, i spend all day getting bad actors trying to log into the system lol.
