Google was set to launch on Thursday a new service intended to give searchers fast links to song lyrics, musical artists and CD titles on the main search results page.
Kinda funny that they are linking to lyrics sites, considering that they may be considered illegal, because of copyright concerns.
also Google makes it very clear that they are NOT SELLING content
Items that can be purchased will have links to merchants for online ordering or downloading, she said. Initial merchant partners include Apple Computer’s iTunes service, RealNetworks Rhapsody, eMusic, Amazon.com.
It will be interesting to see how this ends up.
copyright.. not write.. sorry, pet peeve.
Would be nice if they would include indie artists or make it easy for indie artists to get their sites added to the search.
NP – It was EARRRRRLY when I got that posted.
