• What is PirateBeirut?
PirateBeirut is a Lebanese music weblog that aims to salvage and pep up the underground independent music scene in Lebanon. We focus both on the under-promoted bands that have gone unnoticed as well as the struggling upcoming ones that seek exposure.
• Why?
Consumers hate scarcity. But you and I know that monopolists love scarcity. When consumers have fewer choices, a monopoly thrives. – Seth Godin.
The music industry is overflowed with low-quality music, especially in Lebanon where “eminent” artists are determined by how much flesh they show in their music videos; This scarcity imposed by the monopolists (those with the fat bank accounts) is leaving a lot of artists with actual talent starving in the dark. We’re here to give you a choice that the Lebanese music industry has taken away from you. We’re here to bring down the monopoly once and for all.
• But aren’t you ripping the artists off?
That, in our opinion, is the naïve approach at seeing things. We’re actually promoting them by distributing their work and making everything more accessible. A direct link between the artist and the consumer is created and we’re confident that this will get more people to go to concerts and see live performances. 
• I would like to help out! Do you guys accept donations?
Great! Start by checking out the Spread PB section. We’re working on producing some merchandise (t-shirts, stickers, etcetera) that will help us fund this project, we’ll inform you as soon as they’re ready.
• Who are you guys? How can I reach you? I want in!
