Music industry is reportedly mad with Amazon over Cloud Player, the recently launched e-commerce giant’s new music streaming service of Amazon. The conflict has the potential to boil over into court and place consumers in the crossfire.
Amazon Cloud Player allows users to upload their music collection to Amazon’s servers. Once uploaded, customers can access their playlists and stream their music from any computer online or Android device.
Apparently the music labels were informed of Amazon’s new cloud-based music service just last week and Amazon only recently brought up the issue of music licensing.
But what if the labels sue Amazon, demanding it to turn over personal data on users they suspect have uploaded illegally-obtained music? As one of Mashable‘s commenters pointed out, Amazon Cloud Player’s Term of Use states that music that infringes on the rights of any copyright owners isn’t allowed. In addition, it says that user is “responsible for complying with all applicable import, re-import, export, and re-export control laws and regulations.”
If a user uploads illegally-obtained music, will Amazon fight to protect that user’s identity or simply give those credentials to the music labels in order to avoid a lawsuit? The answer to that question will color the inevitable conflict between Amazon and the labels.
