Napster Goes Wireless

In the "I thought I'd seen it all" department comes DieCorp, who has come out with a product dubbed "Musit" that will apparently download music for free from a satellite. The product is about the size of a mini-disk player, and looks like it wants to take the place of your MP3 player when you go to the gym.

They claim that your downloads will be 1Mbps (gadzooks) and all you have to do is enter in an artist, song, or album title and you'll have it to your ears almost instantaneously.

So has DieCorp come to an agreement with the RIAA about licensing the music? Well of course not, that would make too much sense. What is even more laughable about the situation is that DieCorp plans to rid the world of major music labels and finance the production of future music through it's own royalty plan.

There is also something on the site about their stock being made public soon. This sounded fishy before I read this, and now something tells me that this is just vaporware, and the people behind Musit are just hoping to make some quick stock dollars before the RIAA comes a-knocking. Either that or they haven't been paying attention to how the RIAA deals with it's competition.
