i think hype machine hasn't been sued out of existence b/c they provide a sort of gray market for the music industry to track leaks & gauge popularity. if any one media property picked it up, though, the truce is off and the lawsuits come out. i mean, hm caches those tracks on its servers so you can fake-stream 'em, right? especially if viacom goes for it, because the labels are all still kicking themselves for giving mtv their content for free. why let them pull off a similar move on the web?<br /><br /> <br /><br /> anthony's a super-great guy, though, so i do want the universe to give him a pile of free money. but i still have my doubts about this story.
