Episode #55: BitTunes: Setting Music Free!

On today’s show I travel down under to Adelaide, Australia to speak with Simon Edhouse, the CEO of BitTunes. BitTunes is reinventing global music distribution by creating a people powered platform. Simon talks to us about how this platform allows P2P file sharing to achieve its full potential as the optimal internet distribution mechanism and how he aims to monetize the exchange of digital data. Simon is a man of conscience who has been following the legacy of his family in working for the greater good. It’s not just about making money folks, sometimes it’s about doing what is right for humanity.
