biz.yahoo.com NEW YORK, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Five large global music groups and International Business Machines Corp. on Monday unveiled a system that allows home PC users to buy and download recorded music securely, in an effort to ensure royalty payments and fight illegal pirating. The world's largest music companies -- Seagram Co. Ltd.'s Universal Music, EMI Group Plc's EMI, Bertelsmann AG's BMG, Sony Corp.'s Sony Music Entertainment and Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Music -- will make over 2000 albums available for downloading for a trial period. The trial will start in the spring and last for six to nine months and involve about 1,000 high-speed cable users in San Diego recruited for the test. Initially, the trial will be limited to users with broadband cable modem delivery. Users will be able to download a complete CD-quality album to a computer hard drive, then transfer the music to their own compact discs, or other recordable digital media devices.
