    I regd the name Like.fm ! Now If choose to develop it what can I develop into something like a last.fm ? How can embed music without legal issues ?

    Any suggestion ?

    There's a lot of options for that domain... Do a brainstorm and think outside the box :)

    Since the extension is .fm I think there are less option for you other than music/entertainment. You can create a music fan site for sharing music or a music forum.

    You have a great domain on your hands. You should brainstorm ideas related to the music industry.

    Sure, why not?

    Music with copyright.. you would need to contact individually or get some kind of license ;)

    Will be there a legality cause if you'll start to embed the links to the music on last.fm?
    Example: making a Flash player that can play a LastFM/radio stream..

    Well, the laws are definitely allowing to post last.fm links and distribute around that Amarok&Songbird players.. so any custom player & link directory for some popular sites will make a deal, then.
