on the Internet, Universal Music Group plans to put a large chunk
of its vast music library online through a subscription service
beginning Tuesday.
UMG, the largest of the five major record companies, will make
about 1,000 of its 11,000 albums available to subscribers who pay
between $10 and $15 a month.

subscription service, gives customers the same ownership rights as
if they had bought the music on a CD.” More at Salon.com.
