I want to start releasing my own music and have no interest in the corporate streaming platforms. I have only a basic conceptual understanding of torrenting but it seems to me like a nice way of sharing my music with people directly.

What do I need to do and consider in order to make a music release freely available in this way?

Currently my knowledge and experience is limited to using an application on my computer to search for and download files from others but I'm willing to learn.

Any advice or signposting much appreciated :)

How much do you know about piracy? VPN, torrenting client, etc..

I understand the concept of sharing 'peer-to peer', how a VPN works (and I use one) and I regularly use Qbittorrent to download files. I understand that in this context piracy is contravening an intellectual property license. That's it! I don't know how to distribute files using the technology.

im just posting on my personal instance at thejoyo.com

there's a popular electronic producer that had their shit stolen by Apple back when iTunes was a thing and they published their music for torrenting and found some support from that.

What is your instance running? I can see that it's federated but I don't recognise it. Thanks :)
