Music Thieves Are Giving Back After Piracy via HumanFankind

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct. 17, 2012 - The music industry is forever changed for music fans, and this time it is positive.  HumanFankind, a new service that allows music lovers to give back to the artists that they have stolen from through music piracy, has opened it’s internet doors to the public.  Since HumanFankind’s creation in early 2012 it has accepted donations for popular bands including Fun., Muse, The Temper Trap, Alex Clare, Silversun Pickups, and The Dirty Heads.
   Not only is HumanFankind a donation accepting and distributing service, but it also allows fans to send a message along with their donation, and stay informed about new music and news within their favorite genres.
   Giving back from guilt of piracy is not always cited as the reason for donations.  In many cases fans feel as if they should support those who bring them entertainment, whether being a famous rock star, a local band member, or even their friends that are trying to “make it”.  Giving back to artists on HumanFankind is as simple as clicking their name and deciding how much to give.  All payments processed securely through Paypal.
Similar to Radiohead, (band) who released their album “In Rainbows” with voluntary donation options, HumanFankind recognizes that listeners no longer want to pay for all of the music that they download, but given the option to give back, fans will.  Donations received in HumanFankind’s first quarter indicate that the majority of donations go to artists performing in the “Rock” or “Alternative” genre.  Reasons are unknown, even as rapper David Banner recently asked two million fans to donate $1 to “The Movement”, as well as hip hop artists continuing to be the most pirated in the United States.
HumanFankind is currently seeking music blogs and file sharing networks to promote the act of giving back by informing their viewers of the service, and by linking to it.
   There is a loss of over $12.5 billion dollars a year due to music piracy (RIAA) and HumanFankind tries to bridge that gap to make artists’ hard work pay off.  “If you give a little, it will sound better!”
