There ain't nothing sweeter. Now, they have to fight to protect it. BMG suggests donating if you can to Equality California, as they are likely fighting a ballot initiative to amend the state Constitution to ban gay marriage in the fall.

After a shaky start that'd make even Michael J. Fox sympathise, Qtrax has signed up their fourth record label, Warner/Chappell. You might remember that late January Qtrax claimed they had support from Universal Music Group, Warner Music, Sony BMG and EMI, when in actual fact they'd forgotten one important thing...to run it by all four companies first...
Dada Entertainment and Sony BMG have signed a deal to make full-length DRM-free MP3s available to Dada's subscribers.
