" Last.fm is a personalised online radio station that plays the right music to the right people. Songs spread from listener to listener.
Last.fm builds up a profile of your music taste by recording what music you like. Last.fm then calculates which people are the most similar to you, based on shared music taste. With this information Last.fm can play you new artists and songs you might like."

This is one more cool thing about the internet. I should really just compile a bunch of links to these sorts of collaborative/open/collective information sharing technology and how it can alter relationships and social organization.

and also discuss the issues of copyright and control of music.

every single fucking musician I've known has understood the problems with the music industry. everyone that i've talked to hates it in some way shape or form. the issue of copyright and data freedom is amongst the most important issue with regards to civil liberties.
