Short Take: Launch to host Beatie Boys charity download program

Launch Media will offer three previously unreleased songs by the Beastie Boys on its site for download via Microsoft's Windows Media Technology. For each new site visitor, the band will donate $1 to two charities supporting the Kosovo relief effort, donating up to $1 million. Microsoft said it will match the band's contributions with its own to two other charities. The project will last for ten weeks, the companies said.
