$19.99 USD per month and you still have to pay per song? Are they nuts? No-ones going to join in on something like this. Join the MAFIAA and you’ll go down with them. Goodbye LimeWire.

Isn’t Napster a cheaper option? $15 a month and unlimited songs?

Well stop paying the Napster subscription and it’s goodbye songs. So the songs aren’t really yours to begin with.

Sounds interesting but if they can’t get the big labels to join in this has no chance of success.

I thought sites like eMusic Soundclick and Beatport didn’t need the major record labels to be successful. :S

manakazero that all depends on the evolution of the industry. If the industry starts shifting to a artist run industry (artist produces and distributes their own music) then that could all change. Everyone assumes the big labels are forever going to be around forever. But those big bullies were created over a large period of time they won’t simply die out over night. Thankfully its close to that significant as everyday internet startups are challenging their dominance and practices. My advice anyone invested in the big 4 take your money out now and run.

Fans have GOT to start thinking about the poor artists. WHAT ARE THEY GETTING OUT OF THIS. The labels are screwing the artists royally and don’t do anything. They have a cartel going. Every Major label has an unwritten rule to screw not only the music fan but the bands as well. Do NOT support this. Use USENEXT.com or any of the surviving Russian Sites out there. They are still a much better deal.
