Limewire Starts Selling Legal Song Downloads

Limewire, the P2P guys running on the Gnutella file sharing network, have just launched a new online store for selling songs. This comes as a surprise that they have been allowed by a host of audio labels to sell DRM-free songs legally.Limewire has been employing different kinds of messages from sometime whenever one has to download something from another user. Actually, it checks if there is some kind of legal DRM attached to the song or not. But even if it was unverified as a legal song, people were allowed to share it. Similar was the state with other kinds of file types.The service seems to be still in testing and I guess decision from the sales will be made if it makes sense to continue with the service. The audio labels are still adapting to this new business model of the web and from our experience, its been a little tough convincing them.. I’m not Steve Jobs you see!! We would like to offer music to Chinese users, but then there has been some noise slowing down the entire thing…
