Hi,
Here is a link to an article about Sufjan Stevens in the Wall Street Journal a few months back.

Here is the first couple of paragraphs.
Indie folk and rock singer Sufjan Stevens has avid fans in many countries who are desperate to hear one of his latest songs.
But to do that, they have to get to Alec Duffy's apartment in Brooklyn.
Mr. Duffy, a 33-year-old theater director, owns the song. He won the exclusive rights to it in a contest that the singer held in 2007.
Fans assumed Mr. Duffy would upload the song to the Web. In today's music world, uploading, downloading and file-sharing are givens. But after a year of wondering just what to do with the song, Mr. Duffy decided that putting it on the Internet wasn't special enough. He wondered: What if the only way the song could be heard was in person, in intimate gatherings?
Thanks. God Bless.
Aaron.
