On the Music Map with Jamendo

I wonder am I the only person in the English speaking world not to hear of Jamendo?
It’s a Luxembourg-based p2p music site but all its posts are in our language. It’s been going for over a year and there are now nearly 1800 albums on site to share, 42,00 members and around 25,000 album reviews.
It’s had a little French language coverage and a Rolling Stone mention.
Here’s what the owners say:
“Jamendo is a new model for artists to promote, publish, and be paid for their music.
On jamendo, the artists distribute their music under Creative Commons licenses. In a nutshell, they allow you to download, remix and share their music freely. It’s a “Some rights reserved” agreement, perfectly suited for the new century.
These new rules make jamendo able to use the new powerful means of digital distribution like Peer-to-Peer networks such as BitTorrent or eMule to legally distribute albums at near-zero cost.”
That apart, it looks to me a great solution and an under-exposed story.
