I had a hunch the Scrobbler would turn into a nightmare sooner or later.

the scrobbler turned into a nightmare for me a while ago when women stopped returning my calls after looking at the kind of music i've been listening to

Post from JT:
Hi from Last.fm, I’m one of the founders (and the original founder of audioscrobbler, the music tracking plugin).I’m not going to write much right now because i’m rather pissed off this article was published, except to say that this is utter nonsense and totally untrue.
As far as I can tell, the author of this article got a “tip” from *one* person and decided to make a story out of it. Techcrunch is full of shit, film at 11.

thx thed. and i hope so. must say the techcrunch headline smelt a bit fishy. who publishes a story like that posed as a question? get your facts straight first. very bad.

"For now Last.fm says: “To our knowledge, no data has been made available to RIAA.” (The RIAA declined to comment)."
It bothers me that companies are allowed to openly LIE like this and face no repercussions.

Um. Everyone's listening data is available. On the site. Already. That's the god damned point.
Yawn.
