That said, am I the only one who just doesn't care? This company is providing bandwidth and fronting music industry negotiations in order to deliver a useful and valuable service to me for free. As per the implicit (and explicit) contract with almost every modern free service, it's a willing exchange of information, and I'm perfectly willing to trade my phone ID and location for this service (for now).
It would be nice, though, if there was an Android requirement that each application disclosed exactly what data it was collecting, and for what purpose, in order to be included in the Marketplace.
Personally, I don't think its the end of the world. its a free app and you should expect to be giving away at least some of your information in exchange. However, they should be up front about what they're taking, which if I've read the article correctly, they aren't.
