Some of the biggest names in the music business, who apparently have nothing better to do, have teamed up for a new initiative to remind music lovers of the “significance and value of music”.
iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, We7, and MySpace are among the companies who have joined a coalition to launch a new site called Why Music Matters.
The site, which features videos, illustrations, and articles, hopes to remind people why it’s important to legal obtain their music.
Infact the site has created a “Trustmark” symbol that allows users to know that music sites they are using to download or listen to music is legal.
Any music retailer or distributor who sells or streams music legally can obtain the “Trustmark” for their site.
Unfortunately for users the “Trustmark” is not available to services that allow any user to upload content to their site.
