Taken from there website:
Weed has a different view on Internet file-sharing. Instead of trying to shut down file-sharing, we think people should be paid for it. Instead of punishing fans who don't respect artists' rights, we think it makes more sense to reward those who do.
When you use Weed's software to buy a Weed file and then share the file with someone else who buys it, you'll earn a payment based on the sale price.
20% of the sale price goes to you, 10% of the price goes to the person who shared the file with you, and 5% goes to the person who shared the file with that person.
50% of every sale always goes to the artist or publisher who owns the song. The remaining 15% goes to Weed.

I must say that I'm a bit interested, since as it is now, my music is "just" free on the web at a few places, this new service might enable me to make a few bucks out of it (Weedshare propose that you charge about $1-1½ per song, but the price is entirely up to the songrights owner), without having to be accepted by any big firms or labels first.
Does any of you have any experience with weedshare or know of any "hidden" agendas like signing over rights without knowing it etc.....
Cheers!
