Music industry finds the solution to its pirate troubles - give everything away

,----[ Quote ]
| Yesterday's most high-profile launch, attended by artists including Radio 2 
| favourite James Blunt, was hosted by Qtrax.

| "We want to bring free music into a legal environment," said chief executive 
| Allan Klepfisz. "People don't want to be illegal, but they do want free 
| music."

| Ms Little, 42, is giving the whole thing, entitled The Naked Violin, away 
| absolutely free - thereby allowing music buffs to avoid the terrible dilemma 
| posed by the In Rainbows "pay-what-you-fancy" net launch: to not pay anything 
| for the album and not give a tinker's cuss; or to not pay anything and feel 
| mildly guilty for about ten minutes.

Big labels are f*cked, and DRM is dead - Peter Jenner

| Few people know the music industry better than Peter Jenner. Pink
| Floyd's first manager, who subsequently managed Syd Barrett's solo
| career, Jenner has also looked after T.Rex, The Clash, Ian Dury,
| Disposable Heroes and Billy Bragg - who he manages today. He's also
| secretary general of the International Music Managers Forum.
