Clearly they understand the financial ramifications of losing their
distribution model and will hire as many lawyers as they can to stop
it from happening.

Peter Gabriel is promoting a new distribution model ("WE7") whereby
music can be downloaded for free, but you have to endure embedded 10
second adverts. Nice one, Pete! Funny how none of his material is
available on the site. I'm sure he would be happy as larry if 'Passion
Sources' had Persil and Colgate adverts between tracks.



If you substitute D for B, U for I and then discard the T and L you can
make
the anagram 'Pure Greed' from 'Peter Gabriel'....

:-)


Just tried it out - signed up and downloaded a couple of tracks. No
idea what the ads were, as they are easy to chop off before you play
them. As for quality, they are just-ok 192k MP3s, so not really worth
shelling out actual cash for.


No more than I would have expected: I downloaded a coupla dozen (legit)
tracks from Audio Galaxy when the whole idea was new, but soon lost
interest - they weren't really anything I wanted.

Ya don't get owt for nowt in this life and the Internet has done nothing to
change that!
