Craig Dixon, who launched the Web site in June, says members can go there to post their stories, meet other celeb namesakes, and possibly get picked to endorse products.

“I guess trying to come up with more creative ways to steer marketers, who are looking for such talent, to my Web site is probably one of my top challenges right now," the New York stockbroker and author said.

As of yet, none of Dixon's registered members have mentioned any promotional offers or commercials deals in their blogs. But with thousands of people visiting the site each day, he said there's still a lot of potential.

“If you have always known that your moniker is as valuable as what's-her-name, now here's a way to cash in," he said.

Members can browse through hundreds of celebrity profiles and set up networking events in their city.

Some have argued that DRM is necessary for the subscription business model, an argument that I think doesn't hold up under scrutiny. After all, anyone with any motivation can convert their Rhapsody "streams" into downloads, DRM notwithstanding. So it's not the DRM that keeps people paying their monthly subscription bills -- it's convenience, inventory, and other features that add value to the experience (DRM, on the other hand, is about subtracting value from the fan's experience).

But there is also evidence suggesting that DRM on streams may be dying, as well. Leading next-generation streaming music services, like iMeem, are using FLV (a streaming format with no DRM) for their music offerings. And iMeem is licensed by all of the major labels, so it appears that DRM is no longer a requirement for authorized music streaming, either.
