Pour reprendre la formule de mon ami CEDOMATIC...
"Audiogalaxy: GAME OVER"
Depuis cette nuit, AUDIOGALAXY ne permet plus l'échange de musique suite à une action en justice intentée à l'encontre du site P2P par l'industrie musicale. (voir article ci-contre). J'espère chers maxximaniaques que vous en avez bien profité ces derniers mois...
Je suis franchement dégoutté mais d'un autre côté, il fallait s'y attendre. Ce n'est pas une surprise donc. Il faut espérer maintenant qu'un nouveau site identique voit le jour...
" Music industry settles lawsuit with file sharing service Audiogalaxy; terms of deal confidential
Tue Jun 18,12:01 AM ET
AUSTIN, Texas - File sharing service Audiogalaxy removed most of its music files for download Monday as part of an out-of-court settlement reached with the recording and music publishing industries.
The agreement calls for Audiogalaxy to pay the Recording Industry Association of America ( news - web sites) and the National Music Publishers Association a "substantial sum" based on its assets. RIAA and the NMPA did not disclose terms of the confidential agreement in a news release.
Calls placed to Audiogalaxy founder Michael Merhej on Monday were not immediately returned.
"The agreement is that they stop the unauthorized sharing of music," said RIAA spokesman Jonathan Lamy. "How they go about doing that is entirely up to them."
The deal ends a May 24 copyright infringement lawsuit filed against Audiogalaxy.
The Texas firm reported more than 1.5 billion monthly hits in November. It makes money by selling online advertising and subscriptions for access to premium services.
Audiogalaxy uses a peer-to-peer network that is considered more difficult to regulate than Napster ( news - web sites), which the music industry effectively shut down in the courts last year."
A++ les maxximaniaques!!
