Default We7: Music Piracy Alternative in the Works
http://business.timesonline.co.uk/to...cle1719403.ece

Quote:
THE rock musician Peter Gabriel is providing financial backing for a new download service called We7, which will offer free songs tagged with 10-second advertisements.
...
A short advertisement will precede each track downloaded. Purdham said that after about four weeks – “when the song had been listened to three, four or five times” – We7’s users would be able to download an ad-free version.
If it doesn't end up happening, he still wants to be your sledgehammer.

3. Same as #2, but use someone else's kid
4. Troll forums and edit what some drunk guy's opinion is at two in the morning
5. Tattoo your entire body with random letters, then write down the letters every individual is pointing at when you walk by them. This method may be illegal in some locations.

Those are the 2 variables that will make or break this idea. No one likes DRM, and no one wants to listen to music that sounds like it has been copied from a piece of half burnt sandpaper.
