You have to see what M&M is doing: It's a kind of file sharing service between Apple and the users and AFAIK they do actually pay license fees to the record labels to cover the cases where users might not actually have owned that content. Now, all of this assumes the record companies KNOW what's being mixed and matched which is the iTunes catalog for which they do have contracts. They will not add potentially unlicensed user content to that library to distribute it to other users. > With this setup you would be hard pressed to have any music that is not > already uploaded after just a small bit of time.

They place a limit of 1.000 songs in the cloud for stuff that M&M doesn't find. The "unlimited" option only applies to their catalog.
