[Infowarrior] - Get ready for "Pushed Ringtones"

[Richard Forno]

This has got to be one of the %#$#^-ing worst ideas I've seen by the music
industry trying to gin up sales.  Talk about finding new and improved ways
to anger people......or spread malware......

> Emotive's flagship product, the patent-pending "Push Ringer", reverses the
> common ringtone model. It enables a caller to push an outgoing ringtone to the
> receiving phone allowing the caller, not the called person, to set the tone.
> The chosen Ringer is transmitted to the recipient's handset and temporarily
> overrides the phone's pre-set ringer. The ringers can comprise audio, video,
> animations, avatars or flash files. Closing the loop, if the called person
> likes the ringtone, the service also enables him or her to instantly buy a
> copy of the ringtone for his or her own phone.
