Last.fm Blog: "Techcrunch are full of shit"
Richard Jones, founder of Audioscrobbler and co-founder of last.fm, responds to the allegations made by Techcrunch that they handed over personally identifiable information to the RIAA about users who listened to U2’s leaked album. According to Ars Technica, even the RIAA denies this happened. The source of the rumor? A tip Techcrunch got from one person who claims to know someone who works at CBS. They still have not retracted the story.
