I voted it up and did side with last.fm (at the time), because I never dreamt they could issue a denial like that and actually be lying, in spirit if not in letter. God am I naive sometimes.

Yes, good point.

I thought upvoting should be that way: one upvotes submissions one deems interesting to the HN community as a whole - not to pick sites on an argument. Did I miss something?

Am I misreading something or is that exactly what swombat just said?
