Wednesday, June 05, 2002The thing that makes major record labels so powerful is their contractual control over music, and their ability to say where, when and how a recording can be played and shared. As many people have said, the only viable music service that people will pay for is one that has a somewhat complete catalog of music that is accurately tagged and cataloged, and has no restrictions on how music is used for personal use. If you think the industry-sponsored digital music initiatives will ever approach this level of service anytime soon, you're dreaming.

I can't remember the name of the site(s) from which the labels are distributing stuff.
