   This is what happens when people allow a few big corporations to control everything! The CEO’s and big wigs become the pimps and everybody else becomes an underpaid or unpaid prostitute.

     Thank you! You talking in my language.

   Who cares. It’s a legally licensed radio service. Radio has been marketed as free sources of music for decades. No matter how they advertise it radio services cannot and will not replace sales or on-demand streaming.

   This is why streaming sucks as it is… Although this is South Korea… It’s why greater attention needs to be paid and an industry needs to be changed. It’s called stealing folks. Musicians, songwriters, artists and producers should be compensated period.

   Thank you labels!
   I bet this expansion of Milk is part of 2015 “budget” at Warner.
   Congratulations for fueling your own HOUSE INFERNO.

   Licensing treadmill is spinning so fast I hope they don’t harm themselves!
   Industry has immunity – it’s HARMED almost beyond repair.

   Home phoning is killing music!!

   This is akin to Pandora saying the same thing, or iTunes telling users to try iRadio because it is awesome (not) and free (true). Perhaps not a tactful ad, but at least they are encouraging users to listen to music legitimately.

   What an awful piece of ad creative.

   Disgusting. The problem is not that they are promoting a legitimate free service; the problem is that they only criticize BitTorrent not for being an illegal copyright violator but for taking “time and energy” (Thieves these days! So lazy and uncreative!)

     Er, pirating IS a time-consuming PITA. For anybody whose time is valuable, piracy is probably the last resort.

     You can compete with free. You can’t compete with easy.

     • Versus February 18, 2015

       My point is that difficulty is not the reason piracy is wrong.

    How is this free streaming service different from any other free streaming service that currently exists?

    • Remi Swierczek February 18, 2015

      It totally free and you never hear any advertising!
