Napster RIP
That's all folks, Napster is no more. Hit up the story here.
Be sure to check out the staffer art on the Napster site.
Although this is probably the only way Napster could have gone at this point, as its core technologies were handcuffed by recent court
decisions, this bothers me greatly. It is hugely distasteful to me that what amounts to a venue for fair use was litigated out of existence.
This guarantees that I will forever use Kazaalite or some other filesharing service.
The other day, I briefly considered buying some CDs that were discounted so heavily it was hard to pass up the deal. But the memory of
the RIAA screwing us music fans over made me not do it. I have not bought a CD since Napster was sued offline. I will never again buy a new, mass-distributed
CD.

Hanging around

RIAA hacked
RIAA against music sharing? Not anymore!
RIAA to sue music sharers? Not Anymore
With the legal file sharing service kazaa still online, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) today announced that it intends to offer the latest albums for download from riaa.org.
As you are probably aware, the RIAA has been pursuing a policy of preventing this activity in recent months
We have recently become aware that this approach is yielding only limited results and in some cases may in fact be harming sales and the artists' revenue stream.
The RIAA wishes to apologise for the heavy-handed manner in which the popular chinese site Listen4Ever was closed down, and would like to present the following items for free download as a token of its goodwill.
Hit up the full story here. Check out a mirror of the hack here.
Hockey!
Hockey officially starts on October 9th, with preseason games
starting in September. Now to sneak away and check out a preseason game.
Also in hockey news, Hedberg tries hypnosis.
