Sony Music Entertainment said it will use MSFT's new Windows Media technology to give fans digital download access to music and videos while also protecting against piracy and unauthorized distribution. "The Internet has proven to be an amazing tool for marketing and promoting our artists," said Sony Senior Vice President Fred Ehrlich.
