HEY CAN YOU SEE ME
A few months back, TechCrunch released a story saying that Last.fm released user data to the RIAA. This was refuted at the time, and considered to be bad reporting, etc.

Now another source has come out and says that it's true: it was leaked to the RIAA, but not directly. Last.fm released it to their parent company, CBS, who then released it to the RIAA.

Once again, it's TechCrunch breaking the story though.

Glad I don't use Last.FM.

Or any reporting service that is server-based, for that matter.

Just shows how good an idea it is to allow huge corporations to keep detailed tracking data about what you're doing.

Those who have a 360, Last.fm will soon be part of it.

...as well as MySpace and Facebook.
