Google has yet to secure licenses from the major record companies, and would limit users to a streaming mode to prevent piracy. Apple is currently in talks with major record companies to launch more ambitious service than planned by Google.Music bought is held in a digital music locker on the Internet and can be accessed from computers running Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari or Chrome Web browsers. This new service will be available for at least U.S. users although it is not clear if it is a download or streaming service or both. The new service is expected to be announced at an annual developers conference in San Francisco.
