Napster’s New Tune: Pay Labels

  • Written by dubstylee

A Brad King orignal Wired.com report says that Napster “has set aside $4 million to pay the Association of Independent Music (AIM), an organization representing indie music labels in England, according to sources familiar with the situation.” I’m not sure what Napster’s game plan is here, since “much of the music from AIM’s independent labels comes from unknown bands and musicians.” And we already have MP3.com for that. But alas, “Napster executives declined comment on the new strategy.” Whatever.
