mp3.com Acquired by CNet

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the things-are-getting-interesting dept.

bmarklein writes "Looks like mp3.com is no more, at least not in its current form. According to an announcement on an mp3.com message board, CNet has acquired assets of mp3.com. The statement is very vague, but it says that following the redirection of the mp3.com domain on December 2nd, "all content will be deleted from [mp3.com's] servers." However they do plan to eventually introduce "new and enhanced artist services"."

  1. An interesting development by PhysicsGenius · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I've always like CNet because they seem friendly to Linux and other Free Source Software. It's very important that media outlets be converted to our way of thinking, because that helps win hearts and minds in the general population. That's why I'm not so sure I like this news. Do we really want a pirate/hacker website, which deals in known copyright-violating file formats, to be associated with Linux?
