Sony's Filesharing Program

[kdm172]

I heard something about Sony coming out with a filesharing program does anyone know anything about it.

Yeah, PressPlay is what it's called they will release selected music from only the music companies that back them. But it's the bullshit because with there program u can't burn the mp3's to cd and also u can't transport it to portable mp3 players so basically they are trying to keep the music tied to your computer.

weak...thats super weak, how many music companies do u actually think would back them?

i haven't heard of this before...
if they can keep the music tied to the computer, and can't be used any other way i imagine more than a few of the music companies would jump on board

Most of them.

To Shadow:

I am wondering the same thing but they always come up with some shit.

i think it's kind of like the "half way point"

in all reality people are never gonna stop sharing music on the internet so the music companies are hoping that if they let you have it for your computer but you can't do anything with it you might just go out and buy the cd.

great idea if it wasn't for the fact that you can get the same song off p2p and do whatever you want with it.

but i think some of the people that are scared will flock to this.
