The news of Apple’s slow-moving cloud comes as Google’s competing service appears to be zooming along. The search engine has recently hired Elizabeth Moody, an attorney with deep experience negotiating digital-music deals. Record executives expect Moody will help cut the first cloud-music licensing agreement. Google has told music executives that it wants to launch a music service this year.
If Apple doesn’t appear to have the same urgency about racing Google into the cloud, it may be that Apple knows Google has a long way to go before it can seriously mount a challenge in music. Apple’s iTunes is the country’s largest music retailer, online or off.
