SWOPEX Launches UK's Largest Legal FREE Music Sharing Community

SWOPEX Launches UK's Largest Legal FREE Music Sharing Community

LONDON, July 24/PRNewswire/ --

- www.SWOPEX.com

Say goodbye to buying expensive CDs, paying rip-off download
fees or downloading illegally as SWOPEX today launches the largest legal
music sharing community in the UK with over 350,000 CD album tiles available
to swap legally and for FREE.

It's like digital file sharing but through the post and legal.
Community members let each other know the CDs, DVDs and video games they own
so they can swap with each other. When a member requests one of your discs
you send it directly to them in the post which earns you credits to spend on
the CDs, DVDs or games you want. Keep swapping and you can enjoy all the
music, films and games you want for FREE (with every trade guaranteed by
SWOPEX).

"Why put yourself at risk of prosecution by downloading
illegally or paying 79p a track on iTunes when you can get complete CDs for
FREE on SWOPEX," says SWOPEX Co-founder, Simon Miller, "All you need is a few
CDs you no longer require to get you started and you can be part of the
fastest growing media swapping community in the UK."

Ground-breaking initiative to reward artists

SWOPEX also today announced that, for the first time in the
UK, artists will share in the value of traded CDs, DVDs and games. Anytime a
SWOPEX member cashes in their Credits, 20% of the withdrawal fee will be
contributed to the performing artists or studios.

"For too long, successful commercial giants like eBay and
Amazon have reaped the rewards from the pre-owned media industry without
giving anything back," says Miller. "Our members want us to support the
music, film and games industries and so support them we will."

About SWOPEX

SWOPEX is an entertainment trading community where members
trade the CDs, DVDs and video games they no longer require for new ones. When
you send an item you get credits which you can spend on other items you want.
Uniquely, SWOPEX also offers traders the ability to buy and sell pre-owned
items for which there is a small fee for withdrawing credits. Members pay the
small amount of postage to send discs to each other, but otherwise trading
and membership are free.
