O2 networks offers free Music Downloads
Music is an age old right and to charge for it seems a little rude. This is the opinion of many that believe to own copyright on a piece of music – and more importantly to charge for that music – is akin to selling the artists’ souls. Perhaps big business is starting to agree: many have signed or are considering deals to provide music downloads to customers.
Napster, the unlimited music downloads God, is in talks with telephony giants o2 and Vodafone with the promise of following Nokia’s lead in providing music downloads to its phone customers. Nokia’s deal just got better with Sony BMG (yes, that’s the same Sony…) offering its back catalogue for unlimited music downloads.
How times change, and Sony is now emerging as one of the winners in this period history: its relationship with We7 saw all of Sony’s catalogue available for online streaming from the site. For free.
