MySpace is still breaking the law as are a lot of them. Last.fm have been saying for a year they are going to start a royalty program, it still hasn't happened. MySpace has been in negotiations with BMI for over two years now, still nothing. In this country, if you have enough money and scumbag lawyers, you can break the law all you want. ie: OJ Simpson It's sickening. And once again the artists who create the music get nothing.

I've tried them and as far as I am concerned they are time wasters. I want to hear what I want to hear when I want to hear it so I happily pay $15 per month to Napster. I've been watching the digital music space closely for about three years and must say I am surprised so much VC interest still exists in these revenue-free "business" models. If a fraction of the money and effort going into these new music models (that is going to end up being wasted) went into convincing Congress to give the industry some teeth to prevent peer to peer file stealing the world would be a better place.

Last summer, it's news of selling watermarked MP3s was still a bit of an advance, and far more artfully done than the EMI/Apple attempt at the same. When did Universal become the forward thinking record label? Since when is that even possible? I'm surprisingly encouraged.

It seems like a great way for the majors to make bets on the future without buying the farm. I like MOG, glad to see they will be around for a while.
