Basically, it's a URL in an NFC tag. Might work, if they can assuage the music industry's fears about piracy.

I'm assuming that there's some sort of securekey two factor authentication generated in the flash crystal, and that the url that is generated is guaranteed in some way to always resolve to a working url for its expected lifetime (And I have CDs which are 20 years old and working just fine).
