An easy way to provide financial support to "Recording Industry vs. The People"

By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman

If you feel that the work we do at "Recording Industry vs. The People" is important, there is a very easy and painless way, which doesn't cost you a dime, of helping to support us financially. And that is -- when you're going to buy something or sign up for something -- try to do it through one of the links of one of our "affiliate advertisers".

These advertisers pay a commission to "Recording Industry vs. The People" for any goods or services which you buy or sign up for after you click on their link.

For example, if you were to go to the independent music section and sign up for eMusic or OurStage, we would get a commission on that. And if you were to browse through Amazon's independent music MP3's and make some purchases at Amazon, I would get a commission on those, even if what you ultimately bought had nothing whatsoever to do with the link you'd clicked on to get to the Amazon site. (E.g., let's say you were a Pete Seeger fan like myself and clicked on the mp3 download of "Seeger at 89", decided to get the cd version rather than the mp3 version and bought that instead, and then also picked up a pocket edition of Black's Law Dictionary and a flash drive while you were there, we would get a commission on all three purchases.)

I'm in the process now of setting up a directory of affiliate advertisers, which I'm tentatively calling Ad Links. My plan is to publish it at the bottom of the sidebar, after the feeds from some of our favorite commentators.

If there are categories of goods or services, or specific advertisers or products, which you don't see in the directory, from whom you are interested in buying something, please let me know by email or by posting a comment to this post here or any other post, and I'll try to add it to the directory; you would be doing me a big favor by doing that.

Thanks! And please try to keep an eye on the Ad Links.

Best regards.

R.B.
