file sharing is not evil people come on.

Rapidshare and hotfile are still up and running, hotfile is even still paying for downloads (but only if you're legit and sharing your own files, coupla DMCAs and you're fucked). Not to mention Youtube, and the rest of the options to post your music if you want to share it free with your fans and to promote yourself.
And yes vurtual hosting is $5/month nowadays, you can alsways have your own site setup and let ppl download your music from there. Mp3s are not huge bw burners, unless you're lady gaga which you arent.
