I wish them the best of luck in their efforts, but to be honest I'm doubtful their efforts will make any impact. Last.fm has made clear their intentions to stand beside the RIAA and to charge customers outside areas of the world they perceive as being worth their trouble, and I doubt anything but a complete exodus of users would change that.
I encourage those who want to scrobble and keep track of their played tunes online to move over to Libre.fm and import your Last.fm profiles.
