Here’s an interesting startup. Although I was very impressed by the idea they promote; free music through the support of advertisements. TurnItUp Media works on the concept of their self developed system called Tri Play.

Tri-Play™ is a system where anyone and everyone can enjoy legal, easily obtainable music absolutely FREE, simply by watching targeted video advertisements lasting no longer than 60 seconds. Our friendly advertisers are the ones responsible for providing the necessary revenue to offer free music and to fairly compensate the record labels and artists.

Very interesting, and since it said free music, I hurried up to sign up to use it before I review it. However, when I went through the sign up form, something struck me.

Why is the check box grayed out AND enabled for the newsletter subscription? If it’s that mandatory, why isn’t it mentioned on the form? Why is their even a need of check box when you’re forced to be subscribed to their newsletter?  Very annoying!

Then I checked their Record Labels link on their website. It reads:

We welcome all Record Labels to take part in the TurnItUp community. Whether you are one of the "Big Four" or an Independent Label, TurnItUp Media has created an environment where everyone can find success.

We look forward to partnering up with Record Labels as we embark on this new and exciting media revolution. We are confident that you will see the true benefit of our system and realize how valuable our services will be to you and your artists. We guarantee that we will pay your price per download (PPD) so that you can be compensated for your creative works.

Get Legit with TurnItUp Media!

 

So, this proves how it is more closer to a hoax then a real website. I have no idea what they’re trying to pormote and why would Record Labels come to their website to take part in the TurnItUp community. Big Four? Way beyond your league guys! How can someone claim to have free legal music when they haven’t even partnered with even Record Label yet?

I’ve sent them a mail to get answers of my questions. Till then, I advice our readers to stay away from such websites. Your personal information might be at risk. Stay tuned for more coverage on this one.
