Peter Gabriel tackles illegal downloading

quote:
Peter Gabriel, tech entrepreneur Steve Purdham and finance guru John Taysom have teamed up to create a new technology and music venture site called We7 that will offer ad-supported, DRM-free, MP3 downloads.
Each track will container a 10 second or less advertisement, the proceeds from which will go towards paying �the artists, musicians, actors, filmmakers, comedians and bands.�

That's just a snippet, the full story has some interesting details.

They'd have to be quite big idiots if they didn't.

Interesting idea. I'll still shell out for the ad-free stuff, though.

Yeah, me too, but this seems like a good idea for the random/casual listeners out there.
