No way in hell I'll sit through advertising for music... I'd much rather purchase the CD or iTunes downloads. There's enough advertising shoved down my throat as it is, I don't think I could stomach any more.

Would you buy a used track from either of these guys? They're on the board of directors...

Farout the guy on the bottom looks like "Christopher Skase", was it ever proven he was really really properly dead?

Anyway I would like to see artists earning more money but........I just don't like this scheme very much, how will artists be paid? What rules are in the agreements regarding distribution and copyright? Any free shares maybe for artists? As this would be a great thing.

I think the best bet will be buying shares in the company as it really cant lose, I think there will be only 1 major winner out of this and that is the company.

Jingle anyone?

As dead as Craig McLachlan's musical career, I'm afraid.

Before investing in this company, I'd want to look very closely at their EBITH (Earnings Before Interest Tax and Hairpieces). Could tell you a lot...

These people (woman dierector included) don't even look as if they would be interested in anything but themselves and their financial gain!!
YIKES!!!
The comment on C McL's career was classic - what a good laugh I needed!!

Anyone who thinks the subscription business model is going to work is an idiot. Why the hell would I RENT music when I can own it?!?!

Have a look at Sony Connect if you want to see where it's headed.

I bet these guys are in bed with the labels.
