But, hey in this crazy dot-com world anybody can get in bed with anybody. Isn't that the point of file-swapping?
"This relationship provides us with a tremendous opportunity to introduce our brand and content to millions of potential new customers," said GetMusic Sr. VP of Business Development, Jay Dubiner. "Though I don't think this counts towards the FTC's demand that AOL open up to its competitors."
