THE world’s largest record label is to revolutionise music sales by giving away downloads by artists including U2 and the Scissor Sisters.

Fans will no longer have to pay 79p to download a track after Universal Music agreed to a deal that allows customers to access its entire back catalogue in return for watching advertisements while music is downloaded.

I think this is a great idea, maybe not for entire album but for indivdual songs. I hope the trial period goes well enough that more labels adopt this trend.
