Project Lawsuit (Arrr...)

The internet is always filled with a variety of interesting controversy, debates... Pretty much separatism and all that jazz. Take the ones who think they're so smart for example. No one likes them - however much they're right, no one likes ignorance to be disrupted. Those of you who wander around comments in a video from YouTube or Break, or forums in general, you're most likely to know what I'm talking about. Yeah, two groups: One who can't help adding science and all theat mythical stuff, and those who just want to enjoy carefree random days on the internet. But that's just on a tiny and much more minute example of the oh so divided opinions of the Internet. The bigger scale would be the age long battle between Record Companies ($$$) and Internet Pirates (Arrr Matey).

Ignore the Comic Bashing on Apple's schemes of releasing one gadget after another after another

Many argue that it is simply 'sharing' files and that it is no crime at all. in fact, it only raises the popularity of one artist! Others argue that the artists should be respected and supported by paying up the respected price of their albums. I agree with both sides, in fact, it reminds me of when Napster came out as a blast! And then Record Companies sued them for allowing downloads. (Read this interesting Article about Napster and the Music Industry) However, there are some exceptions which I have run through my head for quite a while. One of them is that music be made available to the users of the internet. Not necessarily downloadable, but simply available. Once you tread beyond that line, then it kinda is understandable.. but annoying... and frustrating. This is where Project Playlist comes in.
Project Playlist is popular web tool that allows users to enter the website and search for an artists song or album or playlist (created by other users) and listen to them. Other features of this site allows the embedding of a created playlists into other sites such as Gaia online, MySpace, Facebook, Blog Sites (such as this), and basically any site that allows custom HTML editing. Now, this site where 25,030,450 users (and 9.5 million views everday) is being sued by 9 label companies including Motown Record Co LP, Warner Music Group Corp's, Warner Bros. Inc., Virgin Records America, and more. The reason for this is because they do believe that it is one ginormous (ginormous: Giant + Enormous) copyright infringement. Project Playlist hasn't released any comments regarding the situation or anything in particular in their defense...
But on the bright side, if you're looking for a job, I saw this sign on the bottom of Project Playlist's page saying that it is now hiring. Bad news is it might shut down. Don't worry, at least there's a similar site called www.imeem.com . In fact, I have embedded a Project Playlist Player here singing it's probable demise. Until then...
