Read the oral argument on this and it seems like the defendants are saying they merely linked to free music, originally released as free by the plaintiffs. Sadly it reads a bit conspiracy theory... that the plaintiffs don't want the court to know that they released the music itself for free as promotional items. Obviously I am not a lawyer, but allowing users to then store that music (in "lockers") seems pretty risky. The defense used Google as a comparison to their company Sideload, which seems a bit too simplistic. Anyway, just a first impression from a average joe reader. Interesting.
