great stuff, as always, Jack
there are so many ostensibly disparate threads in the news, across the whole tech/internet/content/media landscape...but seeing them all in one place in the WIR illustrates nicely what a tightly woven fabric it all really is
the Pearl Jam story is really heartening...i'd like to think any future music industry growth will include an ever-dwindling cut for the labels as other artists take note and take the initiative to follow suit
