    Number of subscribers?

    I keep noticing more and more blue names at the bottom of the forum page. It got me thinking about how many people have currently subscribed. Guesstimating based on how many play the subscriber songs and whatnot, it looks like somewhere between 100-500. I'm curious if anyone has the official number (or if it's being shared)?

    Hell, with this, the ads, and those t-shirts coming out (assuming the t-shirt delivery system actually works this time), ffr might actually turn a profit some day. I know server costs are enormous and whatnot, but still.

            Official reason is to avoid criticism.

                Yeah ... I was wondering that too. I went to the topic that said "... released to the public!" and it gave me the not-enough-permissions crap. Lol.

                  We will definitely be releasing these to the public. We just want to make sure that subscribers get first shot at them. Sometime this week.

                  You could try to win one tomorrow night.

                        ironic that you would have to pay to buy t shirts (early). but it's a good idea for testing out the t shirt distribution system I suppose.

                        on another topic, do you suppose an artist could theoretically sue ffr, by saying that the subscriber system is, in effect, essentially earning income off people playing their songs early? It's a bit icky as songs are released free later, and I'm no lawyer, but I think one could have an argument there that their music is being used to generate income without their consent.

                          They give consent when we get permission, rofl.

                            But all profits go toward ffr anyway talis, so it really wouldn't be much of a case. Unless.......unless synth is lying!

                              they don't necessarily give consent to have ffr make money off their music. in fact I think most artists would rather not have another entity making money off their music if they were not being paid. dawg, it doesn't matter where the money goes. ffr is its own economic entity. synth even called it a "company/entity" in his million-member news update.

                              a suer would have to demonstrate that their music was being involved, directly or indirectly, in generating income for the site. ffr would have to argue that people were not paying to play the song, but paying for when to play the song. tough to say who would win.
