LimeWire has signed multiple content agreements today, namely with TuneCore, CBS Records, Kufala Recordings, Delicious Vinyl, CBS Records, Kemado Records, and the Fader Label.
The deals are licensing deals tied to the paid downloads LimeWire Store, the legal part of the infamous P2P client.
DMN adds that the deals will bring artists Crowded House, Soul Coughing, Brand New Heavies, Tone Loc, Young MC, The Pharcyde, and Saul Williams, among others, to the Store.
Whether fans will pay for content from a site so strongly associated with piracy remains to be seen but its a step in the right direction for the company.
