At least 60 entire albums are at your fingertips for free. Derek Webb has started a website called noisetrade.com. Artists such as Derek Webb (from Caedmon’s Call), Six Pence, Waterdeep, Alli Rogers and Jill Philips have free albums online. The philosophy behind the site is that you can either pay what you want for the album or you can tell three friends about the album and download the mp3 version for free. Why would a site do this? The idea is that people are going to share music anyway, why not do it legally.

Thanks Derek and everyone involved!
