Streaming is good for some quick entertainment that you currently do not own or cannot afford, and it's often cheaper on the user then owning the physical media itself, not to mention that most people likely have limited space. However I think music too ("date of post") is rapidly now getting harder and harder to obtain in physical form, since Walmart now only has a limited selection online for both music and games. Movies however are dying too, with both music and videos often replaced with YouTube videos.
However I am currently a paid sponsor for a 3rd party streaming website that helps artists sell amazon MP3 files. However I am not an admin of that streaming site or an amazon seller, but only a paying sponsor for a 3rd party middle man site.
leaving me no access to exactly who clicks on the amazon buy links or how much of the music I play on my own stream actually sells. As many of you might know I have been streaming every single day 24/7 with my own server for about 2 1/2 years now. and I've picked up quite a VPN following going by an advanced data calculation app.
all I know (in music streaming alone" that beside Sirius and Napster, Pandora (etc) there is ICECAST and apps free 3rd party apps like VLC and Clementine that connect to 1000's of other free FM AM and Internet Radio Stations world wide including mine if you want 1000's of free radio stations for your phone or PC or Laptop follow this thread o the VLC forum I created for everyone seeking 1000's of free music playlists for free including mine in a bulk download
