| quote: | Billboard magazine has done some fine sleuthing and turned up a number of developments in the works that may push the digital download world over the edge towards DRM-free MP3s. Walmart is reportedly pressuring the major record labels to allow it to sell their music online in MP3 format and now sources are telling Billboard that Amazon and Pepsi will team up to give away 1 billion MP3s for free in 2008, starting with a Superbowl kick off in February.
Amazon launched its DRM free MP3 music download service in September. We said it rocked then and I at least stand by that opinion today. Estimates at the time were that AmazonMP3 had about 2 million songs available - that number could increase substantially as labels feel the pressure of news like today's. |
so...
if anyone here drinks pepsi and hates music, feel free to start pass those codes my way. :) |

Pepsi codes?
They will be under the bottle cap once the promotion gets underway. You'd punch into the codes into AmazonMp3 and redeem the credits.

It's still not cost free though. Note how it says 'Amazon and Pepsi will team up'. They're both making money off it, just in a different way. I still have to go and buy a disgusting Pepsi for a few bucks to get a code :p . |
