What's comical about Google's plan of action is it's exactly what they did with GoogleTV and that blew up in their face.
For those who don't recall GoogleTV initially allowed users to view web video (like Hulu) on their TV. Google gave users this functionality against the wishes of the networks and the studios. So once GoogleTV was released the networks and studios blocked their content from being viewed on it.
Putting aside whether that was right or wrong Google should at least realize that's what happened and not treat the music industry the exact same way.
- stuartmemo 15y agoI believe this is different. With Google TV they were relying on the networks providing the content, this time they're relying on the user.
