SWAPSTATION LAUNCHES MP123

SwapStation, a new web-based MP3 community, has formed and is promoting its site as a means for consumers to legally trade copyrighted material. The SwapStation MP123 goal is to help you get your MP3s quickly and legally. The company plans to expand its service so that members can swap vinyl and CDs as well. The idea behing the SwapStation is that members will mirror their real world behavior in the virtual world and that this service, if it is used correctly, does not introduce copyright infringement. There are no technical measures built into the system to make certain original copy is destroyed. Swapping is accomplished by simply filling out your 'wants' list, browsing other users 'have' list, and making a contact for the exchange. To get full enjoyment out of this service, SwapStation provides links to many companies that provide remote file storage space.
