Can anyone comment on the potential implications for Apple iTunes, Google Play Music, and Amazon Prime Music? Each of these services allow users to upload content from their personal libraries. As far as I know, these services make no technological effort to assert the users' ownership of the content. Rather, I assume their Terms of Service mandate content ownership prior to uploading. Do their TOSs protect them from the complaint levied by the Plaintiffs in the Groovershark case stating that Groovershark was: "liable for direct and secondary infringement of certain of the Plaintiffs' copyrighted works;". Was Grooveshark's TOS materially different than that of the services mentioned above?

If I were to illegally upload a copyrighted work to Prime, iTunes, or Play; would I expose the parent companies to any liability or is the legal onus entirely on me as the user infringing on the TOS?
