Sananda Maitreya chooses new legal file-sharing program "WEED" to spread the first songs of his project "ANGELS & VAMPIRES" on his website.

This new program is a service that allows file-sharing, while promoting full respect for the rights of Artists and Publishers.

Milan, ITALY May 25, 2004 -- Multi-platinum artist Sananda Maitreya chooses new innovating file-sharing program "WEED" to distribute his music.

Sananda Maitreya releases the first 3 songs of his project "Angels & Vampires", this first Chapter is called "The Jaguar and The Jungle Sound".

"WEED" has a different view on Internet file-sharing. Instead of trying to shut down file-sharing, they think people should be paid for it. Instead of punishing fans who don't respect artists' rights, they think it makes more sense to reward those who do.
