the artists hub, and sharing.. are really the killer features of this release. Also the fact they are allowing artists direct control, like distributing concerts and any other tracks they'd like to share is a pretty awesome feature.


Artist hub is sort of awesome. As classical musician, I'd be limited to uploading only public domain music. Anything modern would require licensing agreements, how would Google handle that?

How will they handle things like sampling and/or remixes? Are those considered original works? (Generally, no)

Not saying artist hub isn't a cool feature, I'm just not sure how cool it is. More information required. Then again, there are not many classical musicians interested in using modern distribution technologies.
