Yesterday's announcement from MusicCity.com was something that most of the people just ignored, but when you actually stop and think about it, the announcement was pretty huge. MusicCity.com announced that 24/7 Media will represent MusicCity.com's Morpheus P2P client's ad sales exclusively.
Thing is that Morpheus is clearly illegal if you determine their application by same terms as Napster was measured -- it allows users to share copyrighted music, movies, games, etc.. And in other hand, 24/7 Media is one of the biggest online advertising companies in the world -- this announcement makes Morpheus to look like very legal service. Pretty bold move from 24/7..
