this is essentially meta-distribution of MP3 files that have been embedded in 10s of 1000s of MP3 blogs around the world, i.e. it's feeding of their blog posts, their servers, their gray-zone legal status (and I say this with great appreciation - I love what they are doing!). Currently, however, most of these MP3 blogs are kinda ignored by the actual rightsholders or shall I say the major record labels (since most of the indies do seem to like the mp3 blogs a lot), but THIS kind of super-distribution of those 'tolerated' MP3s will rattle their cages fairly quickly. Because, let's face it, this is essentially on-demand, interactive play of single tracks which they have always maintained is subject to a license fee.
