July 8, 2007 -- Sprint has signed on as the first company to underwrite a song to be distributed on file-sharing networks, agreeing to embed its logo on copies of tracks from Atlantic Records hip-hop artist Plies, sources told The Post.
The move represents another example of the music industry's evolving view of peer-to-peer networks as a potential new source of revenue instead of the bane of its existence.

I have been a big supporter of keeping file sharing places open, in hopes that the massive traffic could be legitimatized. I know a lot of GWW would rather see this stuff completely shut down. So what are your thoughts on this story?
