Warner Music do deal with Imeem

Warner Music have done something of a u-turn regarding music based social networking website Imeem. As previously reported, the major were suing the networking site over allegations it encouraged its users to illegally share music, and that it had done nothing to monitor and restrict the distribution of unlicenced music over its platform. Imeem then shortly afterwards announced a new partnership with Snocap which would, in fact, monitor and restrict the distribution of music, and offer those labels who signed up the chance to earn ad revenues off any music they owned that was shared. And the first major to take advantage of that offer is, erm, Warner Music. So one assumes that means Warner's lawyers have taken Imeem off its target list.
