If you get real popular, they will at least sue, but if you have a 
database with digitally signed artists agreements it won't matter, the 
problem is for people who are operating today without artist agreements, 
they have to get them fast, but still the problem is that if you get at 
all popular (like more than 100 listeners), they might try to sue so you 
have to go to cour to prove that you have agreements, but you could also 
represent yourself and just bring in copies of your agreements to court, 
then what could they do?
