Google may be looking into a subscription music streaming service

There have been rumors that Apple also wants to jump into this already overcrowded field, but those rumors have been stagnant for a while.
One roadblock to Google getting a sizeable library of tracks is the fact that the RIAA is once again blaming Google for not doing enough to stop the free advertising illegal sharing of music. The RIAA claims that search engines, including Google, "promote" expanding an artist's potential customer base piracy by showing links to things like Bittorrent sites. And, since the RIAA wants to make sure it makes money and not the artists are protected, it has attacked Google.
