Message:I’m interning at Universal Music and I’ve been asked to find out how you guys feel about purchasing digital downloads. What would it take for people to stop file sharing and start purchasing legitimate downloads? Universal is offering downloads for 99¢ a track ($9.99 an album) and even contests. Like if you go to http://www.gotdownloads.com you can downloads tracks by Sum 41, Marilyn Manson, Godsmack, and more. Plus you can enter a contest to win a number of prizes including a proof of the album Sea Change autographed by Beck, a lithograph autographed by Marilyn Manson, and a Yamaha guitar signed by the members of the band Twisted Method. Is that enough to get people into purchasing the downloads or is there something we’re missing?
