Hello everyone and welcome to Digital Music Trends. Yesterday it was a bank holiday here in the UK but thankfully not in the US so I managed to record an extensive interview with entrepreneur Costa Giorgio Roussos who started the .music initiative to give the music industry its own top level domain name. In the interview we talk about his background, the origins of the project that has been in the works for five years, the branding opportunities offered by .music, the Music.us 360 degrees platform that Costa developed and finally about the ways in which .music can help promote the consumption of legal music.
