    Then they can afford to start paying for the illicit music on the site.

        Clueless Cue might take it over!
        IKEA style might induce Ek’s takeover.
        Exciting developments in front of us.

        This isn’t me defending SC per se, just saying that it is useful for sending people music without making them download it, i.e. sending music supervisors private playlists, especially for unreleased music. It’s also good for embedding, though sucks when you don’t get paid at all if an embed does well.

          Thank you GGG.

          Your last line confirms no MUSIC PURPOSE for those well financed office space creators!

          Paul, please refresh Berlin office space. Very premium and inspiring IKEA comparing to NYC.

    Soundcloud sounds like crap, btw. If they can afford that office they should be able to fix their godawful codecs.

    “What massive copyright infringement lawsuits?” Why, the ones you made up out of thin air, Paul. You know, the ones contradicted by every actual news source out there. You remember them, don’t you?

        Just check out the comments to your article, towards the bottom. Billboard pretty much refuted everything.

          Yes, Paul! Kindly respond to Billboard’s refutal of the normal trash you post (specifically, the massive copyright lawsuits about to hit SoundCloud).

          Thanks,

        Journalism Ethics?

        Hahahahahaha!

        Paul simply “has not seen” any open, publicly reported (in a music journal, no less) contradictions of his specific, albeit totally baseless reports.

        Shocking!

        This site hasn’t contained a syllable of factual or relevant information in years – …nothing but totally unethical, bait headlines, pure conjecture and Intro to Music Biz 101-level “analysis.”

    All hard, reflective surfaces and a not a shred of acoustical treatment to be seen. They’ll be listening to music on headphones.
