That will help them go into their archives and find songs that are out of print that people may want online, one executive said." ie *all of it*. The music biz should digitize their back catalogue and deleted catalogue as fast as possible. This is music where they are using copyright to prevent distribution not enable it. And since they are currently making nothing from this music, it's absurd to charge the same $0.99 as for first run music that is being heavily promoted. Why is it the same 1M tracks on all the for profit download services? And why isn't it now 2M? And in 6 months time it should be 3M. “Record executives say they are also interested in a feature that will track peer-to-peer requests for songs that aren’t yet licensed for digital distribution.
