    I don’t use any FAST services. I know what a playlist is in like Winamp and stuff, but why/how could a playlist be considered a DMCA violation for these FAST services? I read the article, but I’m still confused.

      Its not a violation, they’re just abusing the DMCA because they know people won’t/can’t afford to fight them.

        Sure, but what’s the claim? I don’t understand playlists for FAST services, nor why an evil corporation would care enough to file a DMCA suit, no matter how frivolous. Is it because these playlists somehow magically block the ads? Do they give non-paying customers access to something normally behind a paywall? Like what am I missing here? Something is not adding up.
