I must have missed something, I can't find any indication that the contracts mentioned are 'dubious', the only thing that seems to be the case is that they are so good that if they're not part of the deal Google does not think they can re-negotiate them on such favorable terms.
How does that make the contracts 'dubiuos'? To me that indicates they are of questionable legality, that does not seem to be the case here.
Is it me or does anyone realise that spotify is napster all over again? I mean come on even Sean Parker is on board. lol.
