Amazon tests axiom 'it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission'

...with its new streaming cloud music storage system.


Given the RIAA's recent insistence that Limewire owes them 75 Trillion With A 'T' dollars, color me skeptical.

The idea is an inevitability. Like video streaming, it's too obviously superior not to eventually win out. But unlike video streaming, it is opposed by the RIAA, an organization fanatically loyal to a fallen empire. They're the mercenaries of Atlantis, pillaging and burning in the name of a drowned homeland.

Maybe Amazon will be the last city they lay siege to, but I kinda doubt it.
