Google’s music store provides the ability to share music

Currently, not a single legal resource selling music, games or other content, the rights to which belong to someone, does not allow the exchange of purchased “goods”. Moreover, some stores selling electronic copies of books prohibit the exchange almost under pain of death. If you transfer the purchased book to someone, then you are already breaking the law, copyright, etc. But Google is about to open a similar opportunity.

A couple of days ago, one of the senior managers of the corporation, Andy Rubin, announced this at the AsiaD conference. True, Rubin himself simply said that the music store from Google would provide users with some interesting opportunity, without telling what this opportunity would be. But, as always, there were “sources close to the leadership” who told about everything. At least, information about the upcoming music exchange between users of the new project from Google became known to Business Insider.

Of course, "not everything is so good in the kingdom of Denmark," the exchange of music will be limited. The purchased music file can be given to a friend / colleague for listening. As far as you know, part of the files can be listened to an unlimited number of times, and a certain limit will be set for the part. But this is a big step forward, because so far no one has done this before. I wonder how hard it was to agree with the copyright holders about such a procedure.

According to Business Insider, the scheme will work through email. If you want to share music, you can send an invitation to a friend. He receives the link by e-mail, and by clicking on the link, he gets access to the file. The scheme is simple, and, as far as one can judge, effective. So now it will be possible to buy an album of your favorite authors in a fold, and then listen to the whole company, exchanging impressions through GoogleVoice. Progress does not stand still, yes.
