A new i-phone app has given music lovers a chance to access entire music catalogues for as little as $1.99.

The new app has been recently released offering i-phone users the chance to access images of 50 Cent as well as his entire music catalogue for only $1.99.

This has left many music fans worried about copyright infringements and possible repercussions of using such a service, however the WebTechie’s disclaimer states that no fans should be worried about using the app and that it is 100% legal,

‘Kindly note that all the due royalties for this application are timely paid to proper authorities (regarding song broadcasts). If you are a label, song writer, copyright owner or a singer, please feel free to contact us for any kind of information and we will be happy to assist you with complete details regarding the song broadcast rights. All trademarks are owned by their respective owners. This application is not endorsed by Curtis Jackson, 50 Cent or his affiliates.’

As well as 50 Cent this service has also been created for fans of Snoop Dogg and Akon who’s entire song collections can also be purchased through the App for $3.99 and $1.99 respectively.

This App is the latest introduction in an age  that has seen the sale of hard copies on such format as CD become almost as extinct as the tape, with many artists previously expressing their concerns at how they have taken a financial hit in royalties and sales with the wide introduction of mp3 and download sites, and may leave many questioning whether this expansion of the mp3 download era is set to make the music industry even less lucrative for artists and in particular less established artists.
