Lime Wire users will soon be able to purchase spoken word albums from Comedy Central Records, including albums by Mitch Hedberg (video to the right), Bobcat Goldwaith and Jim Gaffigan from the Lime Wire store.
The deal represents the DRM-free Lime Wire store's first with a major entertainment conglomerate, according to a Fortune article that calls the 60-album deal "a coup for Lime Wire, which is trying to shed its outlaw image and become a legitimate digital entertainment provider."
Comedy Central Records head Jack Vaughn told CNN he hates file sharing as much as the next entertainment executive, but that the deal simply made sense.
"We find file-sharing and free downloading as objectionable as anybody," he said. "We looked at theLime Wire Store, and we said, 'Are they going to pay? Are they going topay on time, and are they going to expose our artists to a newaudience?' The answer was yes."
