EMI signs music fingerprint deal

The BBC reports that:

Napster creator Shawn Fanning has made a deal with music giant EMI for use of his Snocap music tracking system.

Snocap allows internet users to trade music legitimately over peer-to-peer networks as every song is given a unique fingerprint.

Early file-sharing system Napster was shut down in 2001 after US judges said it was breaking copyright law but it has re-launched as a legal service.
