Currently focused on bittunes, my most recent startup, see bittunes.org Bittunes is somewhat like a P2P version of Apple's iTunes, however, Bittunes scales the complex iTunes model down to a much simpler service, decentralizes the distribution process, and totally inverts the music buying paradigm by allowing members to profit from the songs they buy.
