Peter Gabriel plays music without frontiers

THE MUCH-BALLYHOOED theory that legitimate music downloads will go to a free, ad-sponsored model has thus far failed to materialise but believers can get a taste of the concept at the new We7 site.

There are only samples available on the site at present but We7 is canvassing opinion and the site's backers, including Peter Gabriel*, want INQ readers to visit, in advance of future additions such as community features. µ

Also, if you've got a band, let We7 know and you could feature on the site. µ

* Before hitting solo paydirt, Gabriel was the singer for Genesis in the old days when dressing up in a daisy costume was seen as your standard stage threads.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
