UMG Jumps to the Beat of SpiralFrog
New company SpiralFrog has just signed an agreement with UMG (Universal Music Group) to include them in their catalogue.

Robin Kent, SpiralFrog’s CEO claims, “SpiralFrog will offer those (young) consumers a better experience and environment than they can get from any pirate site.”
