Sky and Universal Music have teamed up to launch Sky Songs, a new and legal music download service. Download rights start at £4.99 per month

I'd pass. I certainly won't be downloading music at a quid per! Not even their highest tier is reasonable... twenty singles for around 12 quids! No way!

I think it's a fair price for licensed music. I do think that some downloads are better sourced from the iStore though.

This is why people resort to piracy! These prices are ridiculous!

It is too expensive! Amazon lets you download a track for about a third of that price!

Well that pricing scheme is not yet final, I think. Let's wait until the service is launched to see just how much Sky and Universal are going to charge.
