How much of the company did WMG get, and how much did Imeem pay to WMG to get this deal done? If Imeem got the licenses based on revenue share ONLY - hey, great. Otherwise - let's get some answers for these questions before we get too excited. (disclosure: I run <a href="http://wwww.sonific.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="wwww.sonific.com">wwww.sonific.com</a> which offers Music Widgets called songspots which are licensed to play full-length tracks from over 45.000 artists and labels, but not WMG)</p>Gerd LeonhardSun, 22 Jul 2007 18:02:38 -0000http://venturebeat.com/2007/07/12/warner-streams-entire-catalog-of-music-for-free-on-imeem/#comment-14676569<p>Speaking of cell or iPhones, music on the iPhones:<br><a href="http://blog.wired.com/music/2007/07/play-mp3-blog-m.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://blog.wired.com/music/2007/07/play-mp3-blog-m.html">http://blog.wired.com/music...</a></p>OnTheMobileThu, 12 Jul 2007 19:29:49 -0000http://venturebeat.com/2007/07/12/warner-streams-entire-catalog-of-music-for-free-on-imeem/#comment-14676568<p>Dang, this is incredibly exciting... but particularly if other labels follow suit.</p><p>I've been wanting to showcase songs -- even snippets of songs -- on my own blog for years. Rhapsody and Napster have offered limited free-song-plays, but only behind ridiculously cumbersome registrations, pop-up windows, etc. In fact, I bemoaned this situation (and presented an alternative) in this blog entry:<br><a href="http://www.bladam.com/main/entry/fair-use-mashups/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.bladam.com/main/entry/fair-use-mashups/">http://www.bladam.com/main/...</a></p><p>It's shocking to me how long it's taking for labels to get the fact that... letting the world mix and match your content and passionately showcase it is going to result in MORE money -- via advertising, CD sales, download sales, merchandise, etc.</p><p>Can't wait 'til the clue finally sinks in more broadly. And hey, thanks for highlighting this new situation with imeem. I'll definitely re-check that site out :)</p>AdamThu, 12 Jul 2007 16:12:38 -0000http://venturebeat.com/2007/07/12/warner-streams-entire-catalog-of-music-for-free-on-imeem/#comment-14676567<p>"we are at the beginning of advertising-supported music revolution"...</p><p>How is this different from Internet radio?</p><p>OK..
