Google Music doesn't currently let you stream music that you don't already own, and it's also not tied to any particular music store. I think they're referring to Google launching a legit streaming service together with the music labels in a few months.

Judging from this sentence from the article > The Cupertino, Calif., tech giant has agreed to pay the labels between $25 million to $50 million each, as an incentive to get on board, depending on how many tracks consumers are storing. sounds like what Apple is launching is also a music locker service akin to what Google Music is now, and not streaming arbitrary music. Perhaps the author is referring to when Google may remove the invite-only aspect for their service, or maybe just confused.
