From News.com: “Sony Music Entertainment, one of the companies that sued Scour Exchange to the brink of extinction, will now use the service to promote some of its artists. CenterSpan Communications, which bought Scour’s assets in bankruptcy court last year, said Tuesday that Sony would promote music from Macy Gray, B2K, Five for Fighting, Flickerstick, and John Mayer through the service, which has been revamped and souped up to include multiple layers of security and digital rights management to prevent theft.” Yeah, but will anyone care? My favorite part: “CenterSpan said that consumers can download free songs and listen to them for 30 days. However, they can only listen to the songs via their computer, and after the 30-day deadline, the songs will no longer be accessible. People can send files to their friends, but the recipient of a song must register with Scour to access the file and would be subject to the same restrictions.”
