iMesh's "legit" music filters not quite up-to-snuff
John Borland writes in C|Net News:
The new iMesh, launched last week as the first record label-approved file-swapping service, has a Led Zeppelin problem.
Like its peers in the digital music business, from Napster to Apple Computer's iTunes, iMesh does not have the legal rights to distribute recordings from the popular 1970s rockers. But using the company's new service, it requires only a quick point and click of the mouse to download several of Led Zeppelin's biggest hits.
In a sample of searches performed by CNET News.com, the same was true of songs from Green Day's latest album, a handful of tunes from The Black Eyed Peas, and other copyrighted works--precisely what the company's new filtered file-swapping model was created to avoid.
