article published on 30 March, 2011

Amazon is also promoting the service as a way to have users stream their music libraries on-the-go, as long as they have Internet or an Android device.

I applaud Amazon.com for telling it like it is or like it should be.
The concept of a music locker is nothing new....Dropbox also has this feature that allows users to stream mp3's to their blogs and such.
Kudos, Amazon!

amazon is right the files belong to us NOT THE Labels! Once again they use scare tactics to push their agenda's on other companies&people in the name of Copyright..This crap needs to end completely I fear due to"We are keeping all our legal options open." Sony could sue to take the service offline if they don't get their Way....Jesus this prooves the Music Industry is Tyrannical Crybabies

Okay,
In a court room, what is it that Amazon must license in order for end users to save MP3 files to a virtual HDD? Is this something that end users must pay for?
What if the end user wants to store MP3s in a shoe box? Must there be a license for that? How about Tapes, Records, CDs, DVDs?

F**king sony...they just can't stop pissing on their customers. Why should amazon pay sony anything for me storing tracks ripped from cds not from sony? Why doesn't sony have to pay royalites to everyone else for my ps3 being able to rip & store mp3s? Why don't they sue themselves for making flash drives and blank disks?

Cable companies tried cloud storage DVR and it got shot down by legal action, I don't see this being much different.

There's a HUGE difference between storing your own music in the cloud and storing TV content in the cloud.

Is the copyright law different for television? The only difference I see is the amount of money invested in production.
Plus providers wanted to just store the data remotely, and then stream it to your home. It wouldn't have been any different than DVR now except for storage would be at a remote location.

Just saw it and started using it today GENIUS hated Zune Marketplace because they'd only let you download twice and that was it.

Amazon wants you to think it doesn't care about licensing the music that it will let you store in the cloud, but privately.....

None of you remember, labels ALWAYS cry the blues. They wanted to make tape recording illegal. Sony was on the otherside when the media wanted to ban beta tapes. They were violently against ripping CDs. Why should this be any different?

Hooray, I'm glad someone is standing up for Geohot and Graf. We can see from what's happening that Sony actually owns America. Doubly glad I have not bought a $ony product for years.

This is where I am conflicted because I have a PS3. Should I be punished by Anon because Sony are asshats? While I don't play homebrew games (or pirated games for that matter) nor did I buy my PS3 for the Other OS option. I bought it to play games (and only a few of, I might add). Ps3 Home, Blu Ray, Netflix, and watching movies on my computer through the PS3 are just added bonuses.
Don't get me wrong. I am whole heartedly rooting for Geohot and I think Sony's pursuant of him (and others) smacks of rich kid bullying. But I don't feel that I should suffer the indignities of Sony.
Someone told me once that theres a right and wrong, and that punishment would come to those
who dare to cross the line.
But it must not be true for jerk-offs like you.
Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole.

I hope Amazon grows big nuts and kicks sony off their site.
I also hope that someday, using a sony product will be just as sociallly unacceptable as smoking in a restaurant or drinking and driving.
