[ EEPI-Discuss ] Universal to back free music download service 

     Universal Music, the world's largest music company, has agreed to
     back a new venture that will allow consumers to download songs for
     free and instead rely on advertising for its revenues.

     The new service, known as SpiralFrog, represents a departure
     from the 99-cent per-song business model made popular by
     Apple's iTunes store.  It will begin operations in December.
