Trying to play Devil's advocate here.  There are a number of 
countries that censor Internet traffic and have laws which are 
repressive.

Let's say someone from China listens to a song criticizing the the 
Chineses leader (or substitute North Korea for China), or someone 
from a Muslim country listens to a song which parodies 
Mohammed/Allah, or someone from Turkey listens to a song which 
has a message about the Armenian Genocide?  These people could be 
flogged or killed for doing so.  Scrobbling isn't without 
potential penalties in those situations (fabricated as they are).
