The Reverse Engineers Now Available in Weedshare Format

Get 5 songs for free from The Reverse Engineers!

That’s right, these are the full Hi-Fi tracks in 192k Windows Media Format.
You own these songs forever. Play them on your computer…burn them to CD…post them on the Net…even share them with your friends!

Why are we doing this? Are we crazy? Yes. But that’s beside the point.

You see, we’ve discovered this brilliant new music-sharing format called Weedshare. It allows you to try out thousands of songs for free, and it allows us to freely distribute our music on the Net and still retain our rights. So we can actually earn royalties, and can keep touring and recording more music.

HOW IT WORKS:

• You download the free Weed Software.
• Weedshare will put $5 into your Weedshare PayPal account to get you started.
• With the $5 you can download five Weedified tracks from our website for free. These songs are yours to keep and they will not expire.

Once you’ve downloaded the Weed Software, you can download thousands of Weedshare songs from artists across the Internet (Heart’s latest CD is available through Weedshare). You get to play each track three times for free. After that, if you want to keep the song, you just pay $1 and it’s yours forever! (The artist sets the price, but most songs are $1.)

So you can listen to whole CDs of new music and just pay for the songs you like.

Of all the different systems out there, we feel this is definitely the best one for the fan and for the artist.

So now that you’ve got all the info, click here to get started. And you’ll get five of our songs free! (You’ll have a chance to listen to a 45-second preview of each song in WMA or MP3 format on the Reverse Engineers homepage so you can pick which ones you want.)

GET PAID TO SHARE MUSIC - Weedshare even rewards you for turning your friends on to the coolest new music. When someone downloads a file from your site and buys it, you make money. So does the artist, and so do the people who helped distribute it. More specifically, the rightsholder receives 50% of each sale, you get 20%, the person who shared the file with you gets 10%, and the person who shared the file with that person gets 5% of the sale price. Weed collects 15% for processing.

You also can distribute your Weed files through a P2P network, FTP, IRC, or on CD/DVD. Sharing Weed files via email is not recommended, however, because the files are so large (4-6 megabytes). But email can be an important part of your distribution efforts if you post your files to your website and then email the links to your network of friends.

That's all for now. Please come back soon for the next installment of "Making a Monster."

since my keyword "customer care jobs" did not fit as intended.
