PlayLouder MSP: legally share music using P2P!

[PlayLouder MSP](http://www.playloudermsp.com/thenews.html) is a new Music ISP that’s going to be launched in the UK in a few days. They’ve got a brilliant idea that frankly a lot of other people should have thought of sooner. Basically you can freely trade music from the full Sony-BMG catalog on their networks (your own ripped music and other people’s music) and a percentage of your payment to the ISP goes to Sony. They use audio-analysis software to determine what songs are being traded on the network and I suppose that’s how they know how much to pay to Sony. Cory’s got a great and much more in-depth write-up [here](http://www.boingboing.net/2005/08/22/customers_of_new_uk_.html
) at [Boing Boing](http://www.boingboing.net).

For their money, PlayLouder MSP customers get their regualr DSL lines, as well as:

  • The right to share any song in the Sony-BMG catalog
  • Even if it’s out of print
  • In any file-format
  • Using any file-sharing software
  • At any bitrate

PlayLouder MSP’s customers’ license includes Sony music sourced from P2P networks, ripped from CDs, or digitized from vinyl, cassettes, or radio broadcasts.
