Free music downloads supported by ads...Coming Soon

Universal Music, the world ’s largest music company, is backing a start-up that will allow consumers to download songs for free. It will rely on advertising for its revenues. It is set to launch in December of this year.

SpiralFrog and Universal Music Group Partner in Advertising-Supported Legal Music Download Service

Is this the new way for consumers to get the music they want by viewing ads? I hope so. Will these songs be DRM protected?

Get rich quick. Will Jason go silent for 1 yr? ;)

250K in ad money to make Jason Silent for a year. Will it work? I like the idea, and obviously we have seen it work before with the Million dollar homepage.

Jason claims he will not speak to anyone for one year if the entire web page sells out at a quarter a pixel. He will only speak on a podcast about what it is like to be silent.

This sounds like a scam to make some quick cash. I wonder who will care after the year is up if Jason did not talk.

Time will tell. =D
