US Courts Ruled that Online Acquired Music is Licensed and NOT Purchased

A US Federal court ruled a decision that could define the status of online purchased music, and it could well create a problem for online music stores, while potentially push back some customers on the P2P network and revive illegal downloading.
The courts announced that buying music online would only grant the customer a license to use the music (tracks or album), but the customer will not own it. If this is a major difference for most customers, it is also a huge change for artists; as such sales are not covered by usual contracts dealing with CD/DVD or even online stores. Thanks to this decision Eminem successfully obtained 50% of revenues generated from such online sales, a real earthquake for Majors, maybe even stronger than the illegal P2P downloading they have been battling against for years... When it comes to give away a larger piece of their juicy cake, it is always more difficult to take a decision.
