Project Playlist, Inc., operator of the playlist.com website, is a Web 2.0 company much like slide.com and rockyou.com that provides widgets for MySpace and Facebook. It claims to be a search site for music files and does not store any music on their servers. It does pay royalty to music sites and all content on their site is legal. It lets users of MySpace put more music on their profiles where otherwise they would be only allowed one.

History

It was founded in the early 2000s for the purpose of putting more music on myspace and other social networking sites which only allowed one song. With the popularity of social networking sites and online blogs playlist.com has experienced enormous growth. From a userbase of less than 500,000 in the mid 2006, now the site boasts more than 20,000,000 users as of June 30, 2008. According to alexa.com, it the United States and Puerto Rico it is one the top 100 sites. It was originally known as projectplaylist.com, before it acquired its current domain name of playlist.com.

A key concern for this site was that the majority of the files linked to are pirated content distributed without the authorization of the copyright holders. On April 28th, the RIAA and a coalition of nine record labels filed a lawsuit against the company for contributing to mass copyright infringement [http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9930419-7.html] . However, it has been noted that two similar cases against MySpace and Imeem were largely the opening moves in settlements which would see these music sites licensing the content and compensating artists for the use of their music. It is possible that playlist.com would wish to pursue a similar strategy [http://news.cnet.com/newsblog/?keyword=%22Project+Playlist%22] .
