AOL pulls musical search engine
Register -
London,England,UK
AOL has pulled its digital music search engine, as it cannot reliably
distinguish between legal and illegal MP3s, the company said. The recording
industry has described the MP3 format as a vehicle for piracy, and has recently
brought a new vigour to its efforts to stop the illegal distribution of music.
Also, not long ago AOL and Time Warner proposed that the companies should merge.
The Wall Street Journal reports that staff at Time Warner's Music group have
questioned AOL's decision to launch the music search service without considering
the impact it could have on Time Warner's relationship with its artists. Time
Warner declined to comment.
