Duffy, Sugababes and Ronan Keating back Virgin Media / UMG unlimited music service
Okay, so UK ISP Virgin Media and Universal Music Group have teamed up for an unlimited streaming and downloads music service, as we just reported. But what does Duffy think about it, you’re probably wondering to yourself?
“When I was growing up, the nearest record shop was two hours away, which made it tricky to get any music at all. So something like this would have been great,” she says, quoted in the announcement of the new service.
Other UMG artists speaking out in favour of the new service include Ronan Keating – “Virgin Media’s new service is a great way to legally access lots of great music” – and the Sugababes: “We know our fans want to do the right thing. Now they can.”
Oh, and James Morrison too: “I like to think that people are honest by nature, and making it easier for them to get lots of music, all legally, can only be a good thing. There should be something special about buying a great piece of music, a bit of magic that comes with discovery”
So there you have it.
