Amazon introduces "Music Locker" service

http://j.mp/iagc3j  (New York Times)

      "Several experts in digital music say that the music locker
       business is still legally ambiguous. For example, though some
       companies let people upload their music and listen to it
       elsewhere without any outcry from the labels, others, like
       MP3tunes, have been sued by music labels.  Another issue: it is
       impossible for Web companies to tell whether a song was bought
       legally or downloaded illegally."

Prediction: Lawsuits.
