I was wondering how Google could have free music apps like MP3 Download and former Gtunes...

Google is not the Internet . Nor are search engines, just saying.
I'll now take my leave before this place gets full of haters

That's the point of the joke. The app just accesses content that is already on the net, it's not like getting rid of the app is going to put any type of dent in piracy. I think it's funny that the RIAA is targeting it.
I like that Google is not giving in.

I don't care what platform you prefer. Anyone who pisses off the RIAA is automatically awesome. :)

Who does this hurt more? the Artists or the labels? The labels who literally no longer need to exist with that meduim already being replaced by services such as Beatport. The RIAA is the biggest bunch of whiners desperately trying to hold onto a handhold that is rapidly diminishing..

This is great, RIAA can't even come close to eclipse Google's legal power.

goodbye RIAA, you are IRRELEVANT! we need to get to a point where bands can have a public forum to sell their music at prices they see fit without the 300 middlemen taking bigger chunks of it then the band actually makes per song/cd.

I'll be honest, I have one of those music downloading apps on my phone, but what difference does that make.? I could just as easily just put my microSD card adapter into my laptop and put MP3s on my phone that way. Either way, even though I support CDs, there's not ignoring the fact that music is starting to be more digital. Hell, you rarely see commercials for CDs anymore and most artists on Twitter tell their followers to buy the album on iTunes or Amazon anyway. *shrugs*

Cool app - I guess it is stealing music, but it is not like I turn around and resell it....
