I'm trying to figure out why I should care that someone has my last.fm password.

If it's unique then you probably don't.

Most people's aren't.

you would be suprised at the lack of variety people have in their daily password-use :) I don´t know what other personal information someone might get off lastfm or how to figure out other webservices you use, but i´m guessing there are ways to connect the dots somehow.

What is last.fm?

A music collection social network. It tracks what you listen to and will match you with other people who have similar/different tastes. It's been around since the mid 00s.
