There's no other business on the internet that is as stupid as the music industry. I can't imagine ANY business saying to google, 'don't provide users a link to our material, and if you do, we'll sue'. It's ridiculous. I mean, can you imagine if other businesses operated this way? If playlist was anything more than a search engine with bookmark capability it might be something else - but that's all it is. A search engine with a bookmark service and you can share your bookmarks with your friends. they own and host nothing. They only facilitate the search findings between one and many. I can't believe I'm even saying this - but don't buy anything from a major label. I seriously can't wait till they go under completely. And 'agreements' (shakedowns) like this are only delaying the inevitable. I still can’t understand how what they’re doing is anything illegal – or even wrong.
