I hadn't visited the site for a while but was glad to have a fresh look at it. The main editorial story provides up-to-date information about the recent copy-prevention tamperings on CDs and is rather spirited as well. So allow me to quote it here... - tg

The editorial writer of the above piece wholeheartedly invited the readers to listen to John Perry Barlow's [a former lyricist for the Grateful Dead, later co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation] Cato Institute speech and so do I - it's a damned good speech and kept me captivated for the 30 minutes it lasted. What was it about? Well, many things: about the fundametal nature of information and life; about the ecology of ideas and how it differs from material economies; about Napster, the RIAA and the effects of copyright legislation; about the commercial fencing of our shared cultural heritage by a few media monopolies. Barlow is a brilliant and well-informed speaker with a positive vision of the potential of the Internet. Check this one, it's good.

Is redbook audio really required by a CD license?

Natalie Imbruglia's new album is available in it's entirety from my hard drive via winmx, xolox and morpheus, so i'd say this experiment has been less than successfull...for now.

very interesting and informative thread, all!!!!!
i said it before and jack has just said it again, only this time, the pudding has been "prooven"! i haven't listened to JPB's speech yet, tg, but i will. the quotes u have listed have already got my mind spinning, yet again about the real issues concerning copy-proof cd's and the DMCA. it is almost comical, to just sit back and watch the going's on, knowing full well, that it will all just crumble before the world's eyes. will they ever wake up and realize that they really need to rethink the future, not in stopping this future, but how they are going to incorporate themselves into it? my philosophy has always been, "there is a way to make everyone happy, here!" of course, u know U ALL ROCK!

I'm still listening to speech - fascinating. It should be circulated all around, made it more public, having it in written form, whatever... One other thought about boycott RIAA: check out rougues gallery - Know Thy Enemy! there are some interesting thoughts about Hillary Rosen's position in RIAA. edit>. God, this guy is CLEVER. its so exhilirating even to listen to such clarity of thought (I mean there is even some aesthetic pleasure in listening to him besides the content to which I guess all of us agree).

Wow...just streamed the speech and got to the part where he describes the legal jargon in downloading the e-book Alice In Wonderland that forbids you from reading it out loud...stopped me dead in my tracks.
I knew it was bad but I didn't think it was this bad.... |
