"The company has said it wants to be “better than piracy,” by making free streaming dead simple"
That will be mighty difficult since free streaming is only available in the UK!

Michael, its a rights issue - they can only make it as simple as the content providers will allow. Might want to brush up on your knowledge of the music industry before commenting.

dnewman, you are replying to something I didn't say. Of course they are limited by what the content providers allow. My point was that you are not "better than piracy" by providing free streaming in a couple of markets where the piracy rate is already low. Until you take on the behemoths - think China, Russia - it's rash to speak of defeating piracy.

On another note, the "absurd story update" only strengthens my opinion of this *odd* company :)
