I’ve begun using links from IMEEM (http://www.imeem.com) on my pages when I want to feature music.
According to news reports, IMEEM now has deals with all of the Big Four music labels allowing use of content. Presumably, all the right people get paid when the music’s played.
I just finished adding a YouTube playlist to my site.
Wouldn’t it be great if there were a mechanism in place for people with sites and blogs to go and pay a few dollars to purchase the right to play music on their sites? I can’t help but think the music industry is losing a lot of money–but at the same time, I can’t imagine that the companies want to hear individually from every small user like me, requesting permission. There really ought to be a better way.
Anybody know of one?
I’m hoping eventually there’ll be a capability like what’s offered at stockmusicsite.com, only with more kinds of music available.
