Google definitely has nerve

On the eve of announcing a new music store, Google has simultaneously managed to make the recording industry happy and angry at the same time.  With the new music store expected to be announced tomorrow, we have one more option of a place to buy music.  The recording industry supports any store that may take a bite out of iTunes.  However, Google has also developed the smartphone operating system Android.  Over the past couple of weeks, a new app has come along that has consumers delighted and the industry angry.  MP3 Music Downloader Pro is a hit.  What does it do?  It allows you download copyrighted music without paying for it.  Consider it Napster re-born for your smartphone.  

Google has "refused" to remove MP3 Music Download Pro, a popular app for downloading copyrighted music from the Android Market, according to the Recording Industry Association of America. The RIAA sent Google a takedown notice for the app in August, and Google refused to take action. Other similar apps, such as Easy MP3 Downloader and MP3 Music Download Super, are also available through the Android Market.

MP3 Music Download Pro sniffs out songs from the Web's dark corners and makes them available for streaming or download. It is currently the forth most popular Android app, according to Google's Android Market.
