Most likely it is a strategy by the labels to force PP to add filtering and license the labels music properly. This will cost PP a lot of cash to get those licenses, and no doubt a VC will step up with the money, eager to get into the space. Sadly this misappropriation of copyright appears to be the dominant strategy for building a popular sit before going legal with the labels. Other sites which attempt to remain legal aren't having the success or getting the attention from the labels. This case may not make it to court, or at least it may not stay there for long.
