While we usually write about big business and the economy here, I want to diverge a bit and talk about a little different topic today – the booming growth of online music downloading.
It is actually getting to be big business lately. The giants of online retailing like Amazon, Yahoo, Apple are already involved. And now bricks and mortar giant Walmart are also jumping into the fray. It’s becoming a bit of a stampede actually, as the big 4 recording companies are teaming up with different partners nearly every day to conjure up new offerings for music downloading.
The surprising thing is that through all the noise it seems that the quiet little mouse in the corner that’s eating all the cheese is the open-source p2p file sharing software Ares. Ares became popular in 2004, and has been quietly growing all along. They have no big corporation to push the news out, so are content to grow by word of mouth. On the other hand, not having a corporate head the for the RIAA to chase has allowed them to fly under the radar a bit. So if you are looking at different models for music file sharing, you might want to look beyond the noise is being made my the giants shouting about their new music download services, and take a look at Ares for free music downloading
