Titolo: I Marillion rilasciano il loro album in P2P

http://www.marillion.com/press/musicglue.htm
10th September, 2008 - Today, Marillion become the first band anywhere in 
the world to release their new album (Happiness Is the Road) legally using 
P2P (Peer to Peer) internet networks for distribution. Widely recognised as 
the first band to truly embrace the Internet's potential to interact with 
fans since circa 1996, Marillion have taken the step of partnering with 
Internet technology company, Music Glue to harness the legal use of P2P 
sites and release their 15th studio album, Happiness Is The Road. With more 
than 90% of all acquired music in the UK being downloaded or shared via P2P 
websites according to the IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic 
Industry), Music Glue's technology creates a unique interactive band-to-fan 
interface mechanism that does not normally exist at the point of download. 
Having downloaded a song, an interactive window appears on the music fan's 
computer with a video message from Marillion speaking directly to the 
consumer, telling them about their new album, the band's latest news, the 
forthcoming Marillion tour and all the products and merchandise available at 
marillion.com
. Music fans can listen to the track, and have the option to 
join the email mailing list, allowing access to a DRM-free version of the 
track. Marillion in no way condone the use of P2P sites for the illegal 
distribution of copyrighted material. By giving their consent to distribute 
Happiness is The Road using the Music Glue model, Marillion are embracing 
the potential worldwide super-distribution of P2P networks to connect with 
downloaders, enabling an interactive dialogue rather than having no contact 
at all with potential new fans. On adopting this new model for distribution 
Marillion's keyboard player Mark Kelly said: "While we don't condone illegal 
file sharing, it's a fact of life that a lot of music fans do it. We want to 
know who our file sharing fans are. If they like our new album enough, then 
we want to persuade them to pay something for it or at least come and see us 
on tour. Music Glue is the means to achieve this goal, and to give us back 
something positive from the dire situation most artists find themselves in 
today". Music Glue founder Mark Meharry said: "Until now, fans that acquire 
music via P2P networks have been treated as thieves by the global recording 
industry. From a legal perspective it is difficult to argue in favour of the 
fans on this issue, however, from a commercial point of view, P2P provides 
access to more fans, on a global scale, than ever thought possible via 
traditional distribution methods. If you talk to the young, modern music fan 
(which we do on a regular basis) they see the situation very differently and 
believe that they are loyal and financially supportive of the artists they 
love, by purchasing gig tickets & merchandise, plus they happily consume 
sponsored branding as part of the overall experience. Music Glue allows 
creators of music to interact with these fans via P2P in a positive way that 
actually generates revenue. Our model requires a paradigm shift, away from 
the traditional legal perspective and forward to commercial common sense." 
Marillion have sold more than 15 million albums in a career spanning three 
decades and the release of Happiness Is The Road also sees the band 
embarking on a string of live dates across Europe this autumn.

Ad un ascolto strasuperficiale, almeno il primo disco mi pare sappia di 
pochino.
