I can't tell if this article is serious or satire. Of course Google could hash your tracks locally before "reencoding" them (do they really re-encode tracks? I thought they only transcoded FLAC to MP3, but didn't touch MP3s). Of course, iTunes and Amazon tag/watermark your purchased tracks, even if there's no DRM. Lastly, of course people use Google Music. In fact, I use it so much and it's so well integrated into Android that I didn't even realize I didn't transfer any files to my new phone until I travelled to Brazil and was without data connection for half a day.
