here's a copy of an e-mail i got....
you may or may not be interested.....
it's an english site..on freeserve> Hi there,
> Hello from Rupert in Bath England, we would like to sell your music on our
> web site.
> Floot.com is a web site specialising in niche music from around the world.
> We are due to launch this autumn and will be in front of 2 million UK
> internet users thanks to our partners Freeserve (the largest ISP in the
> UK).
> The proposition is very simple: With our exposure to Freeserve's two
> million subscribers and another 4.5 million through our new partners Music
> Choice, a joint venture of BSkyB, Sony, Warner and EMI, Floot.com will be
> the primary music download site in Europe right from launch. We sell
> "specialist" music - anything that the music gourmet needs, whatever his
> tastes. We offer a completely non-exclusive contract that has a
> three-month notice period. We pay the copyright owner fifty per cent of
> revenues net of direct costs (VAT, publishing, encoding and digital
> distribution) .Typically, this will mean you receiving between 30 and 40
> pence on every pound. We will set the retail price, but are happy to work
> with you on where that should be.
> Unlike most other music websites which leave the user to find his own way
> around great lists of music, we will be implementing leading-edge
> collaborative filtering, fuzzy logic technology. This will not only
> provide rapid access to music through a variety of parameters (composer,
> title, genres, geography, etc) but will ensure every user always has a
> positive experience, always hearing music they are very likely to enjoy.
> We use Windows Media format that gives near CD quality files half the size
> of MP3 with a comprehensive security system. When a customer buys a track,
> we take the money and instructions are fired off to the relevant digital
> distributor. He sends first a tiny licence file, then the actual WMA music
> file. The customer cannot listen to the music without the licence and the
> rules set in that licence determine how many copies can be made and how
> many, if any, other computers the file can be copied to. Every one of our
> suppliers of music will get a security code that will allow them access to
> complete activity reports on their music at any time.
> The audience we will reach will not, we believe, have much crossover with
> the physical product market - sales we achieve will be incremental -
> revenue you would not otherwise achieve. And with no cost or risk!
> Check out our announcement website (<<http://www.floot.com/>> ) if you want
> to know more.
> I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Please e-mail or
> call me if you would like to see a draft of the agreement.
