Shawn Fanning, the originator of the first Napster, has recently signed EMI as a user for his new music tracking system known as Snocap.
Fanning has also gotten the support of Sony BMG and Universal Music Group for his tools that let songs be identified as they are swapped online.
Snocap is technically defined as an end-to-end solution for online music licensing and copyright management.
Fanning notes that, ÒBy giving record labels and artists what they need to deliver their music over any digital platform, including peer-to-peer networks, we are finally realizing the full potential of the Internet as a source of music for fans everywhere."
