- 8Tracks is another online music playlist builder that users can share with eachother, follow playlist updates (twitterish), and it’s legal?
- For the time being they have been permitted to operate as a small online radio station, thus giving them a discount on the royalty fees, getting the RIAA off their back…..for now
- 8Tracks joins recently shut down MuxTape along with OpenTape, FavTape and Grooveshark in the embeddable, sharable, emailable music playlist space.
- Will anyone besides MySpace survive the legal playlist scene?

- Project Playlist, is both a search engine and a playlist generator.
- Search for music that’s located on third party websites and then create playlists which can be embedded anywhere.
- They’ve had 822 million page views from 9.3 million uniques in September, which is an increase from last year’s 446 million and 5 million.
- Hmmm. Think we just wrote about a similar service about 30min ago regarding Muxtape, Grooveshark and OpenTape. Wonder who will get called by the RIAA frist (Muxtape already had to shut down last month)

- Opentape is a new, open source version of Muxtape.
- This time, the liability is placed directly on the person that posts, not the site.
- Another disadvantage of OpenTape is the inability to search other people’s mixtapes.
- An advantage is that offshore servers make it possible to circumvent most legal and copyright issues with the Recording Industry Association of America.
What countries have the most relaxed copyright laws?
