File-sharing company BitTorrent has said
that it had facilitated 124,191,862 legal music downloads in the first six
months of 2012 – making up 31% of all of its 405 million downloads . The legal
downloads are from artists and labels who want to disseminate their music for free
to help “emerging and established creators monetize their content via the
BitTorrent ecosystem". Some bands are signed to majors, and some allowed
specially tailored packages to go out for free. They even have a chart of the most
downloaded freebies:
1. Death Grips: 34,151,432
