QUOTE
“The larger issue at play here, what’s really riling people up, is that music bloggers (not to be confused with those who leak unreleased tracks or post entire albums) create an audience for the music they’re excited about — an extremely valuable service for both fans and those on the copyright side of the equation. Music promotions companies target these bloggers daily if not by the minute, asking them to post their MP3s because it has a promotional effect. That the labels’ representative, IFPI, forces Google to delete blogs like that is, for lack of a better word, dumb.“
