funkcartel's top track last week was Solace Raining Sunshine - Played 320 times

wired magazine lay into last.fm royalty scam

This is the full quote "In what seems to be becoming a trend, Last.FM has come under fire for forcing artists and labels who upload their music to the site to relinquish all royalties for internet radio and on-demand playback. The license lasts for at least a year, after which the artist can terminate it, but still, it's unfortunate that indie artists and labels that upload their music to Last.FM don't get paid. (Last.FM has to pay royalties for music it decides to program on its own and -- presumably -- for music it plays as part of alternate licensing deals.)"
