Sprint and Atlantic do deal for song to be "illegally" downl

[GA Russell]

Here's a new twist. Atlantic Records has agreed to have 16 million copies of a song placed on illegal downloading sites for a fee from Sprint. Sprint's logo will appear on the iPod and computer screens.

Exactly what 'file sharing' sites are they talking about? And I really don't see how they can permanently embed any logo in a song. Should be interesting. I really think it is only a matter of time before music is provided essentially for free digitally with major advertising behind it, like tv is now.
