Anontune - New Social Music Platform By #Anonymous 

After the launch of AnonBin, alternative of PasteBin now hacktvist group is reportedly putting together a social music platform that will surely ruffle the RIAA's feathers. The project is called Anontune, and is designed to pull songs from third-party sources like YouTube. Users can throw the songs into playlists and share them with friends. The Anontune service relies on executing a Java applet. "Unless you are extremely trusting or using VMWare, you should think very carefully about running code on your machine that was written by members of Anonymous,"

They insist that Anontune will not host copyrighted material and will not be streaming music or offering downloads of copyrighted material. Instead, they plan to focus on information and they compare the platform to a search engine. "The information can be used to play and centralize pervasive music across the Internet on one platform." It's unclear exactly how this site will operate, but Anonymous seems to think that the law will be on their side this.  "The idea is that if all songs were easily accessible and centralized on one user-friendly platform that it would be possible to hijack all current users of music piracy solutions," Anonymous describes in an Anontune white paper (pdf).
