EU May Block Music Labels' Download Sites

Posted by timothy on from the fettered-and-trammeled dept.

csmiller writes: "The BBC is reporting that the EU is (according to The Sunday Times) considering blocking music-labels setting up their own download sites, as 'Some politicians fear that the two services, Pressplay and MusicNet, would be anti-competitive and unfairly dominate the market.'" I wonder when the idea of a Neighborhood Cache will catch on -- it looks like large-scale digital trading will always be subject to this kind of interference.

    when will you realize that promoting one or two so-called good songs on a CD while the rest is crap is false advertising?

    Then not being able to return the goods after the deception if discovered is panamount to fraud AND theft?
