mediAgora anyone?

See this article (via Frank) and Weed’s website.  Here’s how it works: you download a song; listen to it three times, at which point you must buy it or get rid of it; purchasing gives you a WMA version, with permission to burn a CD, copy to a portable player and copy to 2 other computers; if you distribute the song to someone else who goes through the same process and buys the song, you get a cut of the money.  Get rid of the DRM, and you have something a lot like mediAgora.

    I’ve get rid of DRM in FAIRCOPY ( http://faircopy.com ), my service for distributing and selling digital content that encourages legal copies between users.
    FAIRCOPY is not mediAgora, nor Weed.
    These are some of the main feature of FAIRCOPY:

    – No DRM
    – artists get up to 90% of the sale price if they want
    – artists set the distributors commissions
    – the distributors rewarding scheme is only one level
    – It works on any platform (Mac, Linux, Windows)

    Read the details on http://faircopy.com, and please, tell me what you think about it.
