First, let’s congratulate the traditional music-on-wax industry for trying something new in digital music — outside of suing its customers. The largest of the music companies, Universal Music Group, announced it would offer free music downloads through a startup called SpiralFrog supported by advertising. The other big music companies are negotiating with SpiralFrog, too. Clap, clap, clap.
----- good take on this!
Well kudos to the majors for trying. But is it only me that see's how this might flop? All that advertising and the fact that you can keep a song forever without revisiting the site.
