Artists can choose the tracks they want
to sell, set the price for those tracks,
and protect them with finger-printing technology.
Bands upload music to Snocap's registry.
Snocap checks it against a digital database
to make sure that it's original and not,
say, a copy of Madonna's Like a Prayer,
and then feeds musicians a string of code
that can be placed anywhere within a MySpace
profile. The digital storefronts will be
available to all MySpace users by yearend.
Unlike iTunes, where all tracks are 99
cents, musicians set their own prices. MySpace
and Snocap say that they will take a cut
just large enough to cover the costs of
the materials. The artists will get most
of the money.
