Nokia free, keepable music offer
p2pnet news | Music:- Nine point nine, nine, nine times out of ten, when you read ‘music subscription,’ what you’re not seeing is: stop paying the monthly (or whatever) fee and your library of sounds irretrievably disappears into the sunset.
But here’s a subscription service where you actually get to keep the music!
And it’s free, as long as you buy a particular brand of cellphone.
Nokia Oyj says it’s struck a deal with Big 4 organised music cartel member Vivendi Universal to offer free 12-month access to Universal artists’ music for everyone who buys its Nokia music phones.
The offering comes under Nokia’s new ‘Comes With Music’ plan and the company says it’s talking with “the remaining major international labels” before the offer starts next summer.
Reuters reckons, “The free access to new music could hurt peer-to-peer networking while also raising pressure on Apple Inc”.
The wire service obviously has no clue about the P2P networks which are dragging Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG, the members of the Big 4 organised music cartel, kicking, screaming, whining and cursing into the digital 21st century.’
On raising pressure on Apple?
Steve Jobs is the original non-Teflon man. He can do whatever he wants and Macolytes will stick to him faithfully.
