And since it’s very easy to obtain your music free (not legally) the music industry has to legalize the use of it by searching for other ways to make money from it.

qtrax p2p legal music downloadsWith Qtrax launching today people will have immediate access to over 25M songs for free. That’s almost 10 times the whole iTunes collection and about 8 times the Amazon mp3 titles. But still, Qtrax does not provide the final solution. Qtrax is a p2p network where users can download music which can be played only on players that support Microsoft’s subscription DRM. It’s an ad supported music download service but at the same time it has some restrictions caused by not using a DRM-free format.

The ultimate solution for music would be totally free distribution. The labels should be able to monetize other activities like performances, movie licenses, sponsored events, etc. to a greater extent so that all of us could enjoy free, legally downloaded music.

And the question is: Music industry takes some actions now to be better. Is movie industry next to follow?

But one is above all. It’s not only the meaning of the song but also the perfect music that gets directly into my brain when I am hearing it. I can listen to this song a hundred times in a row and not get bored at all. From all the CDs of Scorpions I find the “Still loving you” to be the best.

 So here are the lyrics:

Just when you make you way back home
I find some time to be alone
I go to see the place once more
Just like a thousand nights before
I climb the stage again this night
‘Cause the place is still alive
When the smoke is going down

This is the place where I belong
I really love to turn you on
Ive got you sound still in my ears
While your traces disappear
I climb the stage again this night
‘Cause the place seems still alive
When the smoke is going down

I climb the stage again this night
‘Cause the place seems still alive
When the smoke is going down
When the smoke is going down
When the smoke is going down
