Default Anti-piracy music deal for Virgin


Source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8100394.stm

Virgin and Universal have signed a deal that will give the ISP's customers access to "unlimited" music.

For a monthly fee, Virgin's broadband customers will be able to download or stream as many MP3 files as they want.

As part of the deal, Virgin has pledged to aggressively police usage to stop the MP3 tracks turning up on file-sharing networks.

I think it is good move but the price should be reasonable.But stopping p2p 100% is not possible in any case

Baaah. Universal has very poor quality music to back them compared to Warner Bros and Sony records and their subsidiaries.

I think deals like b/w entertainment companies that help to reduce piracy are a blessing. NBC is giving away free downloads of their TV shows for free(HD quality). If only we had the speed...
