p2p news / p2pnet: Napster creator Shawn Fanning has achieved an amazing and complete 180 degree position adjustment.

Warner Music has signed up for Fanning’s Snocap p2p DRM system, meaning all four of the Organized Music cartel members have now given their stamp of approval.

“Thanks to Warner’s commitment and belief in our vision, we’re thrilled to have all four major record labels on board to validate SNOCAP’s visionary plan to move the digital music business to the next level,” gushes Snocap ceo Rusty Rueff.

“Warner understands the value SNOCAP provides to rights holders, peer-to-peer services and consumers alike.”

Heh. That’ll be the day.

“We look forward to working with them and the rest of the recording industry to help drive the expansion of the online music marketplace,” he says.

And to drive it home, “We believe in the power of peer-to-peer technology and we’re glad to see it join our arsenal of other digital platforms that, going forward, will enable Warner Music Group to continue to grow opportunities for artists to reach music fans in multiple ways,” says Warner mouthperson Alex Zubillaga.

Snocap Digital Restriction Management software uses Royal Philips Electronics audio ‘fingerprinting’ technology to identify and block transmission of digital-video files.

Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local political representatives. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance.
