Peer to Peer
At the midern conference in Cannes, the company Qtrax the add supported peer to peer website for music downloads said that it had come to an agreement with major record companies which allow it to offer free music downloads to the public. The song will be wrapped in Microsoft’s Windows Media subscription DRM; this means that the public will be able to download them to compatible players. Qtrax have achieved this partnership by giving almost all the profits made from advertising on the site to the record companies involved. It is seen as a step forward in Peer to Peer file sharing as with people users now being in there second generation it seems the problem of people doing it illegally is unlikely to go away
