SonyBMG, one of the world’s biggest record labels, has made music by its
artists free to listen to over the internet.
The record label has signed a deal with We7 to stream songs on user’s
computers accompanied by a short advert.
The new deal will give music fans access to the complete back-catalogues
of artists including Michael Jackson, Britney Spears and Elvis Presley.
Speaking to BBC’s Newsbeat, the boss of We7 Steve Purdham, said the deal
will give “free music in return for some of your time.”
The new service, which launches today (April 28th), will build the
profiles of its users so that adverts are target specific to each
person.
Once users have listened to the songs they will also have the option to
pay to download the tracks to their computer or MP3 players.
We7 is seen as the latest effort to try and control the growing problem
of music piracy, which has seen the sale of traditional recorded
formats, such as CDs, decline rapidly over recent years.
