IANAL, but the detail there is that since it was pre-broadband, they did the ripping themselves of tons of CDs and then streamed them when people "proved" that they owned the CDs. Since the advent of broadband allows people to upload their own copies of music, Anywhere.fm certainly seems to have a stronger case that they are indeed providing a storage service. But the fact that they then stream the music (i.e., repackage it, make lots and lots of copies) as opposed to simply act as a repository might be an important detail. That users are giving Anywhere.fm permission to stream their music to them may be a moot point if the permission is not the user's to give. I would bet that Anywhere.fm might get away with the streaming user's stored music part to the user, but the Friends Radio part is probably illegal. @Steve, actually my.mp3.com was sued into oblivion.

In fact, the creators of mp3.com started a site that does something similar 2 years ago and have not been challenged in any way. The only place anywhere.fm could run into trouble is with Friends Radio, and then only if they are not enforcing the correct limitations and/or paying whatever fees they were able to negotiate. The problem I have with the service (and the dozen others that do the same thing) is that I don't want to wait a month for my music to upload. I also don't want my files on their servers, or be held hostage to future charges once they are no longer Beta, but that is another issue. Stop the uninformed fear-mongering. Until Congress changes laws, this is not illegal. I expect better from TC readers and people in the industry like Jon. The comments on illegality are just silly.

There, MP3.com make copies of the songs and the user had to confirm that they owned the songs by inserting the original CD into their computer. Here, users rip the songs themselves and the player is simply internet-based. MP3.com was illegal because the company was making copies of music without the copyright holder's permission. Perhaps Anywhere.FM is legal because its the users who are exercising their fair use right to rip copies of the songs. What a difference the advent of broadband internet makes!
