Fairshare music is a new music sharing service that has a novel concept of helping organisations with half of its profits.
As the reports it functions similar to any MP3 downloading store, but a notable exception comes as the profit margins where half the site’s profits are bestowed to various charities.
The charitable organisations include British Heart Foundation, Great Ormond Street, Oxfam, Sue Ryder, the WWF, NSPCC and Amnesty amongst others.
The cost of songs commences at 79 pence, and supposedly it appears that a room for bargains to be had on the album front, with for example Time Flies 1994-2009 from Oasis pitched at a fiver (for 26 tracks).
One can opt for any charity which they wish to donate to from a list of good causes the site supports, or simply elect to have the donation resulting from your purchase split across them all.
At present, the site has been launched in the beta format and has asked to offer an expansive total of over 8.5 million songs.
