Note that none of the big labels has actually come out and said, on the record, that Amazon is breaking the law. The complaints, on and off the record, are that Amazon hasn’t asked for permission.

Instead, Amazon has told the labels that it wants to use today’s launch as a starting point for a more advanced service, which would require licenses–and, presumably, a new revenue stream for the labels.

Amazon appears to be betting that the big music companies will end up coming around instead of going to court. If I had to bet, I’d wager that Amazon is right.
