" Before iTunes, I believe there simply wasn't any viable (non-illegal) alternative to get an individual song. Whereas Blendle competes with, as mentioned before, loads of other free alternatives online."

True, but these publishers can, at some point, start making their content accessible only through Blendle.

Curious loophole though - on platforms such as Pocket, one can go on Pocket's 'recommended' feed, save an NYT article straight to their own Pocket, and read the article on the Pocket platform, without every going to NYT.com (circumventing the paywall).

How is that legal? And if it remains legal, will this loophole be a major concern to Blendle and publishers?
