"Internet giant EBay is joining the online music parade with a service that offers a slight twist for customers — sharing hit songs earns rewards, not lawsuits.

The service, powered by Tennessee startup PassAlong Networks , lets customers share samples of their favorite tunes with friends and neighbors.

"And for every 10 songs that those friends purchase, the sender receives a free song."
