Amazon may argue that functionally , their Cloud Drive serviceis the same as storing media on an extraneous operose ride , but head marks levitate over their Cloud Player , which well out those tracks from the swarm . In the eye of Sony Music — and possibly more phonograph record label — this Cloud Player requires Amazon to sign up excess licensing bargain , and presumably cough up some more money to boot .
Sony Music ’s spokeswoman Liz Young told Reuters that they “ desire that they ’ll reach a new licence deal , but we ’re keep all of our legal options loose . ” Another repp tell that Amazon ’s last - minute move into streaming — without give the platter tag a opportunity to ok the picture show — was “ pretty stunning . ” No - one ’s going down on paper and pointing finger that the Cloud Player might be illegal , but people are certainly whispering behind Amazon ’s back that that might be the case .
