Zitat von der Goodnoise-Site:
"eMusic began life in 1995 as a CD retailer. In 1998, we were one of the first retailers to commit to DRM-free music, selling only MP3 format files, and in 2000, we launched the world's first digital music subscription service. eMusic was the first service to sell audiobooks in MP3 format in 2007.
Since 2003, Dimensional Associates, an operating company that manages private equity investments made by JDS Capital, has owned the company and built it into a successful platform for music sales. In the last several years, eMusic dramatically increased its membership, expanded into 27 EU nations, Switzerland, Norway and Canada, grew the music catalog to over 10 million tracks and sold more than 400 million music downloads. eMusic is headquartered in New York City with an office in London."
Ist m.E. zumindest nicht illegal. Hätte das Unternehmen mit Sitz in USA nicht die erforderlichen Rechte, hätte denen die Content-Industry schon längst die Hölle heiss gemacht.
Die Frage ist nur, ob es sich lohnt, sich da "nur für eine Compliation" anzumelden.
