They should have gone for something like Saavn, and build business upon that. I thought it was great to have an online music store in the beginning, but the idea is stupid for us indians.

uh youtube... legal? ok

grooveshark, again dicey, it's not entirely legal Lawsuit claims Grooveshark workers posted 100,000 pirated songs | Media Maverick - CNET News

some of it compulsory broadcasting, they stream first and worry about licensing or paying up the artists later
8tracks is a non-interactive internet radio service that has elected to operate under the compulsory license for webcasting established in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998. The compulsory license covers 8tracks' transmissions of copyrighted sound recordings (and the server copies created by 8tracks to facilitate such transmissions), and the royalties that 8tracks pays to SoundExchange, an entity designated by the Copyright Royalty Board to collect and distribute compulsory royalties, are allocated equally among the copyright owners of sound recordings (typically a record label) and the recording artists (both featured and non-featured) on such recordings.

saavn checks out though :) pro version allows you to save songs for playback later

I tried hungama today. I dont know how they are working it out legally, but I bought a super-value pack for Rs.99, with which I can get 99 songs for download (DRM-free). I downloaded 'yeh jawani hai diwani', the whole album for just rs.9 :shock:. There is a downside though, the music is 128kbps. Well, it cant be fairer than this.
