Last.fm reporting leaked music listeners?

Contributed by aubin. Posted by jesse on Sunday, February 22, 2009 at 12:00 PM (EST)

In a strange technological twist, it seems that music listening and song logging website last.fm may have turned over information logged by its scrobbling software to the RIAA. The situation in question concerns a leaked U2 album and users whose scrobbling software revealed them to have downloaded the leaked album, a clear violation of copyright laws.

The fine folks at TechCrunch have a full rundown of the situation here.

Update: Last.fm has responded:

Of course we work with the major labels and provide them with broad statistics, as we would with any other label, but we'd never personally identify our users to a third party - that goes against everything we stand for.

I-type-poorly (February 22, 2009)

I don't know how much last.fm can be accused of "turning over" information that the user allowed to be publicly posted to begin with.

Then again, I can't see the listener getting into that much trouble, as they could either claim "I downloaded a prank copy that claimed to be the tracks, but wasn't." or "I renamed my mp3s and played them to fool my friends into thinking I had the album."

FInally, it's the megahuge U2. I doubt anyone here downloading the new Weakerthans album early will run into this problem.

I think a lot of Independent Labels probably try to stay away from the RIAA.

for example... from the Fat Wreck site:
What the fuck is the RIAA and is Fat part of it?

They are the Recording Industry Association of America. Are we a member? Not only no, but FUCK NO! We spent three years having our label’s name (which was mispelled) removed from their members list. A year went by, then our name showed up again on their fucking list! Who are these sonsabitches?! Needless to say, we’re in the process of having our name removed again, but they aren’t being too cooperative.

5. Off With Their Heads - Until the Day I Die...

Everyone of those songs is in my top 5 simply because I sometimes listen to the same song on repeat for hours on end.

It's an easy way to network with other people of the same music tastes as you (I've discovered lots of great music sharing blogs through it)

The recommendations and radio apps are quite good (I got into April March last year thanks to her being on a Shibuya-kei radio channel)

It's an easy way of keeping up with new album, EP, single, music video, tour schedule, releases, as each band has a profile page with comments.

Being an OCD stat nerd, it's nice to see what you listen to broken down into numbers.

Yet more flailings from an industry that think these tactics will save it.

The music industry is financially not as dire as people keep saying. It's just that people who were making $10 million a year are now making $3 million, which to them I guess means the sky is falling and that they have to cut staff and artist rosters to keep their salaries high.

SloaneDaley (February 22, 2009)

Downloading is morally wrong, and you are right about that.

However, to be the devil's advocate there is a distinct difference between downloading something illegally and stealing something in the physical world, and it is an important difference.

In the "real" world when you steal a physical copy of something you are not only taking the item for free but the company/person is losing the revenue they could have made on someone else buying that physical object. This does not occur when you download something for illegally. Secondly, when someone say rips off a sweater from a store there is close to a zero percent chance they will ever buy that sweater after stealing it. I have no statistics but I'm sure the percentage of people that illegally download and then actually purchase an album is significantly higher and in some cases the illegally downloaded music i

Wow. I forgot there was a time when I didn't know what file sharing was.

chickswithdicks (February 22, 2009)

or what an mp3 was.

Dudley_Shale (February 22, 2009)

I thought it was a rapper.

14theroad (February 22, 2009)

It's a sex position.

Dudley_Shale (February 22, 2009)

Same here. Good thing it replaced Algebra.

ChokingVictim (February 22, 2009)

yeah, it's kinda weird to think about.

when napster first came about, some dude in my dad's office was the only one who understood how it worked, so everyone made CD lists and he would download 'em and burn 'em for you. it would take a couple of weeks cause he was using dial-up.

my family computer didn't even have a CD burner...

Dudley_Shale (February 22, 2009)

I remember that, completely. I had a friend Josh who was the same way.

dlangl4 (February 22, 2009)

I did this in the 8th grade right before Napster came out and sold them. I made like 50 bucks. T

dev (February 22, 2009)

I can remember a time when my family didn't even have a computer. Let alone one with a burner - or one that would even connect to the internet.

rebeccaa (February 22, 2009)

i would make a list of songs i wanted, and then it would take an hour to download one song. half the time it failed with 98% completion.

MilesQToast (February 22, 2009)

I like that it didn't even dawn on the author that there might be legal implications. What a time it was to be alive.

I have to respectfully disagree sir.

SalsaShark (February 22, 2009)

You have clearly not seen his fiance.

scientistrock (February 22, 2009)

he's not talking about his human fiance. He's talking about the ACTUAL horse that matt's been seeing on the side.

deadXlast (February 22, 2009)

What the fuck dude, is it a horse or a heifer? What am I supposed to think about when I masturbate?

sugarfull (February 22, 2009)

You're wrong.

thatsyouth (February 22, 2009)

Fuck. Everytime I see someone put "You're Wrong" I think of that NOFX song and want to finish it by saying about trickle down economics or something. Too punk for my own good.

mikexdude (February 22, 2009)

Yeah... you're wrong.

PtvnSux94 (February 22, 2009)
