/.'s round-up of the latest development in the Eolas case.

Wired has an excellent snapshot of the current world IP scene.

Advertising for Internet radio faces challenges. Combined with the fees the RIAA wanted to impose on the medium, it may be years before iRadio listening is widespread. One would think they would wait, to give the new medium time to develop.

"As the increasing popularity of downloading highlights, there is certainly still a market for music." Positive externalities to downloading, anyone? Or is the RIAA simply eliminating the older middleman and creating a new set which it can claim more value from--iTunes is rumoured not to turn a profit for Apple, and as the middlemen scramble to claim bragging rights for the most extensive catalogue, record companies have the upper hand.

"They've got rocks in their head." Well-said.

Classical music, no more?


The Gray Soundtrack.
Fair use strikes again.
