Would this mean that the imposition of Cview on the VM subscribers will be deferred seeing as this deal was muted as the reason for it.

Interesting points as ever Mick.
I think one of the issues here is the monetization (unbridled corporate greed as some may see it
) issue.
Universal obviously had the "heads up" as far as Cview was concerned. It's interesting, to me anyway, that after four hours and 135 views only now are these questions being asked.
It would appear that consumers, at least those who have looked in on this thread, are not too concerned about whether or not this "unlimited" (we have to use that term carefully) service might ever launch. We all know that people can access music downloads (both legally and illegally) from hundreds of resources on the web.
The question of quite why VM and Universal were so keen to get into bed needs to be studied.
