Interesting... don't know if that bodes well for Last.Fm

The Last.fm team stays put in London, we’ll grow the company some more here.

We will continue to execute our world domination plans – our focus is still music and the surrounding ecosystem.

The founders (myself included) are still at the helm.

We have more resources at our disposal now, and more clout when it comes to negotiating licensing deals etc.

OH NOES UR SELLIN MY SCROBBLES!!1!! — Don’t panic. The openness of our platform and our approach to privacy won’t change.
