Baboom: Kim Dotcom New Project
On January 20, Kim Dotcom, the founder of the file sharing service Megaupload and cloud storage Mega, launched a test version of his new project, Baboom. Baboom.com is a streaming music service with elements of a social network. Dotcom himself calls his project a hybrid of Spotify and iTunes.
While on the site, in addition to the colorful screensaver, you can see only the page with the music of Kim himself and listen to it there.
The service will have a set of functions standard for such a project - streaming, recommendations, the ability to create playlists, etc. In addition, any user will be able to capitalize on his work. For example, authors will receive up to $ 5,000 for the best remixes, and up to $ 10,000 for better clips. One of the main advantages of the service will be a more equitable distribution of profits between artists and music labels.
The main part of the content will be paid, but some songs can be downloaded for free.
The date of the full launch of the project is not reported, but most likely this will happen only by the end of this year.
