by David Heyerman on September 30, 2008

  • Ad-supported, free streaming music/download for purchase service, We7 has already locked down catalog deals with Sony BMG, EMI, and Warner Music Group.
  • They’ve just announced a partnership with The Orchard, a distributor of some 1.3 million songs under 14,00 artists.
  • The Orchard’s content is not yet available, but founder and CEO of We7, Steve Purdham, says it will be within the next few coming months.

What do you make of this yet to be fully confirmed announcement?

  • Music and Movie streaming is supposedly about to break out.
  • Thepiratecity.org, even though they claim no affiliation with The Pirate Bay (yeah right) is said to be lanching the P2P stream service in the next couple weeks.
  • The site is currently down, likely due to a leak and then a massive amount of traffic to a lone server the developers are working with.
  • P2P streaming would be devastating for the entertainment industry, especially the new MySpace Music ad-supported music streaming coming soon. (who wants that?)
  • But this has to be the next step in Piracy, due to regulations popping up about broadband download caps put on users that download a lot of P2P content.
  • With streaming, there is no risk of going over the cap and everyone besides the content creators are going to be happy.
