There’s Big 4 ‘product’. Then there’s music.

The latter has been around since at least since the ice-age (but almost certainly before that) and is free to enjoy.

How much of Big 4 ‘product’ can actually be called music is questionable, but one thing is solid gold, cast iron, carved-in-rock certain.

It certainly ain’t free. Not only that, if you dare to share online and Vivendi Universal, EMI, Warner Music and Sony Music find out, you could find yourself on the wrong end of a subpoena.

Given that literally hundreds of millions of people share music with each other online every minute of every day everywhere, the chances of that happening to any one person are so tiny as to be zero. But such is the power of the Mighty Corporate Music PR Bullshit Machine and the unquestioning obedience of the lamescream media, who repeat Big Music puff pieces as though they’re genuine news, many people around the world believe it could easily happen.

Now an Australian ad guy has “is expected to announce a licensing deal this morning with Universal Music Group” with “at least one thing going for it that SpiralFrog didn’t and Qtrax has yet to demonstrate:,” says the Los Angeles Times — “a model that’s friendly not just to consumers, but also to advertisers”.

Called Guvera, it won’t launch in the US “until early next year,” says the story.

But the owner, Claes Loberg, figures he’s found a way to scoop up mega-loads of personal user data well before then.

According to the web site, it’ll be the greatest thing since sliced eggs. Or is that bread?

Anyhow, digital entertainment is about to be changed forever, it promises, informing us “an exclusive limited audience and get invited to the Guvera beta 2009 (100% free music).”

Wowee!

And all  interested parties have to do when they register is provide the usual details such as location, age, gender.

Oh, and …

Then, says the LA Times, they  “enter the name of a band, song or genre to search for, and Guvera returns a list of advertiser-sponsored channels that provide the matching tracks. Once they pick a channel, they can stream or download other music paid for by that brand.”

Oh.

Pass.
