Google has had to take on a high-profile music lawyer to smooth over mounting problems in launching its Google Music service, insiders said this evening. Digital music attorney Elizabeth Moody has been hired to ease negotiations as none of the major labels appear willing to agree to terms that Google would consider viable for service, which would involve streaming music to the desktop and to Android phones. Moody has represented services such as MySpace Music and Spotify in the past and could potentially know how to reach common terms.
