R.I.P. AudioGalaxy
Kuro5hin published this interesting story by Kennon Ballou, one of the AudioGalaxy developers. There is plenty of interesting first hand information of what went on behind the scenes both technically and community-wise on the increasingly popular service and how the RIAA eventually killed the good thing despite their serious efforts to comply with the demands of the copyright nazis.

Damn TankGirl! Your "wink" smilie gave me the false impression that someone had found a way to revive the service.
Oh well, it's a good read nonetheless. And I agree with goldenrod here : |

whoops, all those lawsuits put a small dent in our finances... time to get them back.
Ok guys, jack up the price on CD's a little more and create some more of those "pop artists". |

oh well. it's infuriating that the RIAA isn't at all interested in promoting new music and more indie sounds. there has been an interesting trend in book publishing since the seventies where a publishing company buy the rights to a book; then fails to promote it and refuses to print more copies. it's essentially a form of censorship; and it keeps the publishing company in step with popular tastes while not running afoul of the powers that be that put a stop to the work. with the emergence of chain bookstores the trend has gotten worse; as controversial writers can not even find refuge in a small press; as the large bookstores have put most small presses out of business. you can find an analogy from that to the major labels and the RIAA. p2p is an antidote to this form of subtle, corporate censorship. and p2p is gonna win this.
