What's key about Amazon is that they're cash flush and jonezing for a fight.

Unlike Napster and MP3.com, Amazon can defend themselves in court. The music studios will fold, because their power is waning.

This. Bezos totally is doing the "come get some" gesture with this move. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 15:21 11
- Absolutely. With Apple and Google both tiptoeing into the market, Amazon barging in like this is a war cry. -- nm - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 6, 15:27 10
  - well, sorta, Amazon totally made this move with Google's support, so I wouldnt be suprised to see Google - tRuMaN Apr 6, 15:29 4
    - How's Google involved in this? -- nm - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 6, 15:37 3
      - you think Amazon and Google didnt talk about the Amazon Cloud system, and Player, which is exclusive to Android phones before - tRuMaN Apr 6, 15:40 2
        
        That's just speculation. Google's working on their own cloud storage. If Bezos came to them and said "I'm doing this without licenses!" - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 6, 15:48 1
        
        sure, but that doesnt mean google wouldnt join the fight - tRuMaN Apr 6, 15:49
  - Brian Billick talked about a playoff game they won as running into the other team's territory, screaming like a banshee all the while. - David Apr 6, 15:28 4
    - you know, we should have crash do that in halo, leave the party chat and run right into the bad guys screaming and yelling. - tRuMaN Apr 6, 15:30 3
      - I operate under the assumption that he already does this at the start of each round. -- nm - David Apr 6, 15:39 1
        
        well, sadly, you are wrong. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 6, 15:40
