We heard last week that Google might have been close to deals with some of the top record labels to bring music to Android in a legal way. Sure looks like it is just around the corner. There is another speculation running around that a user will be able to share their purchased music with a friend. Although the plan is to only allow that shared track to be playable for a short amount of time and would most likely prompt for purchase at the end of the time frame offered. That is a pretty cool idea really.
None of this will stop, or put a dent, in piracy. I can see it becoming very popular and actually doing good to make Android be more legit though. We would finally be able to rebuild a little bit of our reputation as thieves and more as contributors. I hope this all goes down smoothly for everyone involved and ends pleasantly.
