Don't you think it's a bit risky to be building your startup on someone elses platform ?. They might be ok with it now, but there’s nothing stopping them from changing their mind in the future.

Totally. However, it's worth noting that there are much larger fish in this pond already! http://plug.dj/ http://plug.dj/ employs 9 people and has 2.5 million in funding while being entirely dependent on YouTube's API for their business model. I don't think that validates my decision, but it helps me sleep at night a bit. Plus, YouTube is trying to get into this sphere with software such as YouTube Music Key. They're failing to win over the general public with it, but Streamus doesn't seem to have any trouble convincing people to give YouTube a try as a more genuine music player. I'd like to think that they'd be more interested in acquiring the software than forcing it to sink alongside their own.
