#5Great news! It's unfortunate that record labels still pursue a Twentieth Century licensing-based business model. While I do believe that what's bad for major record labels isn't necessarily bad for artists, I do understand the point that record labels acted as quasi VCs for artists prior to the rise of the internet; prior to the introduction of platforms like Kickstarter, there must have been a fairly substantial void in funding, especially in the early to mid naughts. Hopefully sights like Bop.fm can help fill the funding void for emerging artists in combination with crowdfunding sites and streaming platforms.

#6Not to be overly dismissive, but if I were to read the headline as they intend to be #1, it would probably be more impressive if they partnered up with a music-service anyone has actually heard of.
At first I thought "Beats" referred to Beats by Dre[1] and wondered how an online search could support a particular brand of headphones.

#8It's ridiculous that this is even necessary. This just demonstrates how imperfect the legal music marketplace remains to be.

Beats is built to grow off of the beats brand at least I believe it is.
They also have tons of money for advertising so they had a superbowl ad and many TV ads so I think maybe a large amount of people that don't know what spotify or rdio is have heard the name beats before.
