Artists Actually Want to Be a Part of The Pirate Bay's Promo Bay

Being "featured" in a major site like The Pirate Bay may not be most artists' biggest dream, but for plenty it's a big break, the amount of new fans these artists get far outweighs the value of the "lost sales."

As such, more and more creators have a more open view towards piracy, some even going so far as sharing their stuff on The Pirate Bay or showing up in the comment thread.

The site actually thanks these artists with a link on the homepage, leading to a surge of popularity and, yes, sales for those featured.

It's such a big opportunity that thousands jumped at the opportunity of getting such exposure. This is what led to the creation of The Promo Bay, a new site that's designed to do exactly what you think it is, promote artists.

The site is still in the early stages, but it will feature artists that offer their creations for fr ee.

Apart from the exposure, artists will also get detailed stats on just who is downloading their music, movies, games and so on. They'll also get a chance to be featured on The Pirate Bay homepage, based on user votes.
