We7 to go ad-free for Christmas
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 19 December 2008
Music streaming and download service We7, which gives users access to free music with adverts attached, will be stripping those adverts from their audio files between Christmas and new year. This means many tracks and albums will be available to download with no money changing hands and no one trying to sell you anything while you listen.
We7 CEO, Steve Purdham, said, “2008 has been a sea change year for digital music, with positive support and action coming from the music industry and great growth and acceptance for We7. We7 is fast becoming one of the top UK music destinations for listening to music people want, and we are very optimistic about the prospects for digital music in 2009. We wanted to mark the end of 2008 with a token of thanks to our most important supporters, the music fans who use We7, hence the idea of an Ad-Free Christmas”.
