Pirate Bay Promotion 'Promo Bay' Attracts 5000+ Artists, Sticks It To RIAA and MPAA

While movie studios and record labels would have you think that torrents are a threat to the movie and music industries, thousands of independent artists heartily disagree.
So far, The Pirate Bay's promos have been very successful for the featured artists. George Barnett, who was one of the first featured artists on The Promo Bay, said the boost from The Pirate Bay helped him add 4,000 new Facebook fans and 85,000 new views on his video.
Seems it's a bit harder now for the entertainment industry to argue that the Pirate Bay is a threat to artists worldwide when more than 5000 voluntarily decide to enter a partnership with them. They will probably start to make a difference between "our artists" and "rogue artists" now.
