Are you paying royalties, or just stealing the content?

Neither: Its via iMeem, which complies with content/copyright rules, and does not allow the full the reproduction of songs on their site.

“Audio that you upload to the imeem service will be filtered by an audio fingerprint filtering system that prevents registered audio content from being full-length streamed to any users other than the user that uploaded it.”

Now, why would you assume that paying royalties/stealing were the only options ? Are you unfamiliar with Doctrine of Fair Use?
