Legal music downloads possible for 50 Cent?

border=0>Still during this year, legal download offers from Apple and
Napster are going to reach the German markets. But it is questionable, if
they will be able to make them as attractive as in the USA. Frank
Steinhoff, the chief of Apple Germany recently stated in an interview
that negotiations with national fee collecting companies is harder
than expected. While in the USA company chief Steve Jobs was supposedly
breaking the resistance of the big labels’ bosses with iPod
and iTunes in the baggage on a tour through the executive board floors,
the stubbornness of the European fee collectors and
the bullheaded price expectations of the labels seems to be
a hard nut to crack for Apple.

In order for legal downloads to establish, a new
pricing is needed. If everyone who is involved would pass on the
lower costs to the customers, 50 cent downloads are not
impossible.

action, three songs were written and the c’t editorial staff chose the
atmospheric ballad “Hold Me In Your Arms”. Afterwards the composer and
Soul Kitchen keyboarder Oliver Ringleb, who works for Red Lama Production
as a composer and producer for years, together with Marty Wynton did some
fine tuning. The song was originally made for only one singer but it was
rewritten for a duet and recorded with Theresa Burnette and John Davis.
John Davis will be known to many music fans as “The Real Voice of Milli
Vanilli”
