Beatles songs online. Legally.
p2pnet news view Music:- Norwegian podcasts of all 212 recorded works by The Beatles are now available online.
This marks the first time songs by the band can be legally downloaded, says NME, going on:
“Under a new deal between Norwegian broadcasting company NRK and music rights holder TONO the podcasts, which feature spoken information (in Norwegian) about Beatles songs plus the songs themselves, are available to download from Nrk.no/podcast.”
They’ll be featured in the podcast series throughout January, says the story, adding:
“Around 14 episodes are currently online. The podcasts are available because they contain less then 70 per cent music – a requirement outlined under the deal.”
This’ll supplement songs by The Beatles which’ve been online for years via the P2P networks.

Alas, one of our beloved party-poopers, the IFPI, has <a href=”http://www.boingboing.net/2009/01/06/legal-beatles-mp3-ar.html” rel=”nofollow”>already forced them to take it down</a>, claiming they can only publish podcasts from four weeks prior. I guess it’s back to the P2P networks for the few remaining Beatles fans that haven’t already gotten the music.
