The future of digital music
OK, we've all read tons of articles on this issue, but here's a nice pithy point of view that I can't help but agree with.
The Matt Haughey and Steve Albini links are also worth checking out. (The latter, indispensable.)
For some background reading on this topic (copyright, intellectual property, the RIAA, artists' rights), try Negativland (a band). You can also find the hilarious (and eye-opening) interview with U2's The Edge here (U2's record company sued Negativland for using a sample from a U2 record). If you've ever thought being a "supergroup" meant having some kind of power, this should make you think again.
