Google boots music blogs, claiming copyright fouls
- mr_eel 17y agoFrom a strict interpretation of the law, these blogs are violating copyright. They are distributing copyrighted material without permission. So, really Google in this case are doing the right thing. However, I consider music blogs like these to be a bit of a grey area. As a music lover I find them to be an incredible resource for discovering new music. Indeed, I wouldn't have spent as much money on music if not for all the fantastic stuff I'd been introduced to by downloading single mp3s from blogs. So on one had, yes it's a violation of copyrights, but on the other; what are the benefits? Is there some way for labels and artists to take advantage?
