Music swapping the old-fashioned way

The only problem with that is there's a catch you have to pay a small fee to barter CD's with other lala.com members.BOSTON It may be a crime to swap digital music over the Internet, but there is no law against doing it through the Postal Service. That is the theory behind La La Media, a start-up company that encourages music lovers to trade tunes by mail
No thanks I'll keep using my so-called fav illegal p2p apps.The lala.com Web site charges its members a small fee to barter actual music disks among themselves.
When a member sees a desired disk, he puts in a request for it. If he or she is willing, the owner of the disk addresses it to the other member and mails it. The recipient pays La La $1, plus 49 cents for postage. There is no annual membership fee. Lala.com gives each member a credit for every disk sent to another member. Members can save credits for later use and use them to trade with any other La La member. Lala.com will not open to the general public until summer.
