Want to share and listen to audio files without picking up a six figure lawsuit? Check the great new P2P (peer-to-peer) file sharing program from Mercora.com. What separates this program from other free P2P programs like Kazaa is that there is no downloading involved. It uses “Webcasts” to stream audio and behaves more like a radio than a download service.
A Webcast is made up of all the songs shared by that user from his computer. The Mercora client streams these songs through the network, allowing these songs to be searched and played by others connected to Mercora. So how is this not a copyright infringement?
Mercora has obtained the required licenses as declared in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to broadcast legally.
The concept is a little different at first, but if you like listening to different types of artists and treat the application more like a radio dial, you won’t be disappointed.
Mercora has received top reviews all over the Web including a stellar 4 out of 5 from PCMag.com. Cade Metz from PCMag puts it very well when he says, “The service isn’t for everyone, but if you’re a music lover, it’s certainly worth trying… Use Mercora P2P Radio for a few days and you may be hooked.”
