Everyone should read this speech, particularly software and industry execs, and lawmakers.

DRMed CD tops charts. No one cares. DRM reaches new (illegal?) lows.

DMCA and other US exports may find their way to Australia. Meanwhile, the US government doesn't seem to be doing to well with its own interventions (1 2 3). And a bill that makes some sense is under fire.

New devices are coming out. BMW-branded MP3 player/watch arrives. The latest generation of MD players sneaks in as well, with the feature that Sony's label has long kept out of it--high-speed digital export.

"Viral distribution," a.k.a. P2P from record companies, is entering a trial phase. Skepticism welcome.
