More Free Content Promised
iTunes has announced that they will be adding more free content to their catalog, including full length albums and television episodes, which can be streamed to computers and devices using their software and apps.
Full length album previews and television episodes had been available from legal sources for years but I am hoping this will fill in some of the gaps.
For example, we still don’t have services like Hulu here in Canada and some television episodes are inaccessible to us because of distribution rights issues.
The availability of full length album previews may also reduce previewing on peer to peer networks and questionable foreign web sites. And Walmart’s Vudu service will soon be introduced into Canada so consumers should soon be able to access more content.
