Copyproof CDs moving to market?
Alright, I need someone to buy one of these things, try to play it on your computer, and then hire me to represent them. Which is to say, we need someone with standing. Because this bullshit is an obvious violation of we, the People,'s fair use rights. It needs to be fought and it needs to be stopped. Immediately.
The best mainstream behind-the-scenes baseball article ever written. Unfortunately for Beane, it may have blown some of the smoke away from the smoke and mirrors part of his act. Damn that light of reason!
Hmm. The American media sucks meme, in a different form than mine. Oh, and Aaron Brown was an ass when he was a local anchor here in Seattle. He's an even bigger ass on CNN.
As if I (or anyone) needed another reason to detest the puppet masters behind Clear Channel Comm.
Zack releases a song… and it is good. Among other things, it shows those pissant Beastie Boys how it's done. Zack has such a powerful voice (in terms of words). I'm glad he's still around.

… and if interference is a myth, then there is no necessity. If there is no necessity, then the governmentally-granted monopoly is an illegal Taking from we, the People. This is not new, however, Eben Moglen has been saying this for years.
Linux in the Professional Recording Studio
also a music link. Cool stuff, and there's a happy ending.
Death to spammers and telemarketers! Sometimes, the Commons strikes back. I wonder how it's all going to shake out…
Ms. Dowd has her best column in the past four months, and in the process completes the NYT trifecta for the day. Awesome! This is a pretty good piece, emphasizing the attempted 11 Sept 2001 – Iraq alchemy of blame.
