I used to use Yahoo messenger and listen to yahoo music all the time.
The algorithms they used to suggest songs were much more accurate at picking songs I would like than netflix is at picking movies(which is pretty accurate).
If they are using anything even remotely like that this is going to be a huge success because it will match the artists to people that like their particular style.
How do you have due diligence when a company throws out non specific claims?
There is nothing to check into.
Yes two companies entered an agreement but as the story points out it has all the outward appearances of being less than ideal for at least one of the parties, and contrary to what may be claimed that is NOT beneficial for the industry at large. Yes we don't know the details and it in fact may be an awesome deal but that appears to be improbable.
it is an accusation of civil copyright infringement

I actually hope they follow your lead and go ahead and sue the stadium owners it may help to demonstrate to those who refuse to see how an IP address is at best only a starting place to investigate, not the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow that your handlers seem to think it is.
Not to worry, I just saw on the news recently that congress had passed legislation to fix the broken patent system so I'm sure this farmer will be vindicated.
I signed up for your service/site with the information I am using for my own personal reasons. I went out of my way not to use my google, live, or facebook information. You asking me repeatedly to do so only detracts from the marginal value I find in your service/site. When that value reaches 0 I stop my relationship with your service/site. I realize there are millions of people that only can remember their facebook login info and want to use it for everything and I respect your desire to make it easy for them. Please allow me to choose how I consume your product.
Thank you very much.
Now I have to go chase that pesky out_of_the_blue off my lawn.

Long response:
You are ignoring the multiple posts where he states exactly the opposite of what you claim.
