Nowhere is it easier to reach out to people with your music than on the Internet, authorized or not.

Actually radio and television are the easiest ways to reach out to large numbers of people.
Secondly, public interest is the best thing an artist can get?? Er no.. the ability to create a work is the best thing an artist can get. mp3 sharing will rob recording artists and producers, the ability to realise their artistic vision.
More and more brilliant and gifted composer/producers are moving into advertising, where they create works of utter beauty, crammed into 30 seconds, and rejected en-masse by advertising companies.
I'm serious. I have heard music that is incredible that will never see hte light of day, because it's a thirty second rejected ad. Yet the gifted protege HAS to do this if they want to make serious money off their craft.
Think of all the albums and songs that MIGHT be made by such genius'. You will never hear them. Music fans share mp3s? Hardly.
