If it takes a year (or more) to negotiate licensing fees, if the labels are demanding that google censor its search results in exchange for licensing, and if Amazon is being hailed as a folk hero (in some circles) for making the same move, it seems like the sane decision to me. This isn't google tv; the labels' recourse is purely legal. If they want to sue to make listening to my own music off a server a public performance[1], I look forward to seeing that non-bungled legal action in the news. If they give super-licensing rights to Apple, I look forward to giving more business to a company that already has unreasonable leverage over the music industry. It's really just too bad they bungled this. [1] http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2534850 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2534850
