Finally the big players in the media world are realizing that the business model of selling CDs in the high street is no longer sustainable. This has been on the horizon since unlimited music downloads became available through media such as torrents and file sharing. Businesses such as Sony could do nothing except attempt to sue their way to profit, and it was clear that their attempts were nothing short of desperate.

Now Sony appear to have seen the light somewhat and have joined forces on a number of fronts to offer, on the back of a variety of different services music downloads of its substantial back catalogue. Partnerships with Nokia will see unlimited music downloads being offered to its customers.

This comes at the same time as Vodafone’s and O2s recent talks with sharing demi-god Napster. To what extent these talks will result in music downloads to users is unclear but it would be advisable to keep your eyes peeled.
