Shared Media Licensing, Inc.
Weed is a service of Shared Media Licensing, Inc., a group of musicians and software developers based in Seattle, Washington. Weed was created to answer to the problems of file-sharing on the Internet. Shared Media Licensing, Inc. supports file-trading—after all, it's hard to fault people for sharing music that makes them happy. But they support musicians, too—"It's hard enough for artists to make a living."
Weed encourages file-sharing and makes payments to musicians at the same time. This si done by rewarding file-traders who respect artists' rights. "We find this works a lot better than punishing fans who don't. It's pretty simple, actually. Learn more about Weed at www.weedshare.com.
