«Projecto Playlist processado»

«Major labels are now suing Project Playlist, a company that involves former MySpace executive Shawn Gold.  The suit, filed in Manhattan District Court, alleges "massive infringement" and involves majors Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group, and EMI.  Project Playlist (at playlist.com) allows users to assemble and distribute personalized playlists using content hosted across the internet.
Project Playlist does not host the content within the playlists - instead, it cobbles together content from the vast storehouse of user-stored material.  That loosely resembles a model offered by Seeqpod, which allows users to search, stream and virtually assemble playlists using online-available content.  Seeqpod is currently being sued by Warner Music Group.  Project Playlist executives declined to comment on the suit.» Project Playlist Hauled Into Court; Majors Allege Massive Infringement  Digital Music News, 28/04/08

 «Project Playlist is free to users and shows advertising to pay the bills. It looks like other free streaming sites (like Last.fm, for instance) that offer similar functionality and ad-supported streaming, but in this case the labels don't see any cash. Project Playlist insists that it pays royalties to the three big US performing rights organizations, BMI, ASCAP, and SESAC. These groups represent songwriters and music publishers, but they don't cover the labels that own the copyrights in the actual sound recordings. While terrestrial radio in the US only has to pay songwriters in order to play music, other services like satellite radio and webcasters pay royalties to both groups.» (aqui)
