Ah!

I was wondering it there was more to it than the article mentionned.

If they charge you without giving you ANYTHING in return,
then they must be forced to refund you.

NOWHERE in the story was it mentioned that you paid and they put you on hold
because they did not in fact have the track for download.

But this is a scam upon the users of the site,
not on the record labels as the article stated.

Thanks for clearing that up.

you’re forgetting one thing – some people actually paid money (minimum charge $20) to download some tracks, just to find out that most of the files are UNAVAILABLE. i personally tried to purchase an album, and it wasn’t available for downloads. but i did pay $20 to find out! i emailed jetgroove and asked to get my money back, but after almoust 10 days i still haven’t received any reply. also – they’ve listed a lot of UNRELEASED and even UNEXISTING material! if this is not a scam then what ?

So now posting INFORMATION about intellectual property is illegal?

I do not see what the problem is with having a list of tracks.
Not much problem with recording user interest with a track,
then trying to obtain a deal to provide it either.
They don’t have the tracks that they’re not allowed to sell (presumably).

So what did they ceased and desist?
Nothing.
The “on hold” feature that let’s you ask for songs not available seems to still be there.

Of course I have not used the service so if anyone has more information please post it.
