Burnlounge unveils new offering at SXSW

Previously, users who wanted to open a BurnLounge digital download store had to pay a franchise fee, and then oversee the establishment of satellite stores under their franchise umbrella, which led to many accusations of BurnLounge being a veiled pyramid scheme.

To circumvent this, the company has introduced a free social networking component called BurnPages, which lets users set up profiles that highlight their favorite movies and music, and link to a BurnLounge store to refer sales.
