Napster Agreement To Sell Other Major Label Tunes
from the slowly-getting-the-rights dept
Sometime soon, there's supposed to be an announcement that Napster has come to an agreement with MusicNet to be able to offer up songs from three major labels. The details sound fairly confusing - and I'm still not sure why anyone cares about Napster any more. Just about everyone I know has switched to some other sort of file sharing program. Napster has become more difficult to use, with less selection. That doesn't seem like the best way to drive customer adoption.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
