I don't think the staff is the ones putting material up there. Oh I think it’s user driven material on that site no? I don’t think the staff is the ones putting material up there.

People who value music will buy it. Even if they don't they will pay to come to live shows, The most important thing is the music gets heard.

For example some of my music is available for full play on that site without license. I don't go after, report or push these kinds of things in general. Getting music to people is more important but I thought it would be worth mentioning. Also some of the music I would like to use in a chart is not on that site. Nevertheless, a social network based on charts (playlists) is definitely cool and worth visiting. It seems imeem has some copyright issues.
