Universal Music doesn't like iLike
Peter Kafka over at Silicon Alley Insider wrote an interesting piece about Universal Music’s noted absence from iLike’s music selection.
Kafka seems to think Universal’s absence is due to its insistence of creating an ‘exposure for payment’ model when it comes to sampling music snippets.
In the past both companies had relied on a company called Muze to act as a licensing middle man to allow music sampling.
Universal seems to think that internet users should pay for
hearing ‘free samples’ of their artist.
