NEWS BRIEF: Google Music, SOPA Reaction, New SoundExchange COO, Facebook Events & More
The big music story is the launch of Google Music. Reactions are mixed, but it is more ambitious than I feared based on previous Google Music false starts. (This chart compares competitors.) And most things Google launched improve greatly over time. Google also shared an essential stat: they are adding 500K Android users daily for a total of past 200M. Any app without an Android version is shooting itself in the foot.

this has brought some good change though, HumanFankind(dot)com allows fans to donate to the artists that they stole from. If SOPA passed the internet would be awfffuullll.
