This site is devoted to copyright and issues of 'intellectual property,' particularly the issue's analytical aspects. It also concerns itself with the gap between public perception and the true facts, and with the significant lag time between the coverage on more technical sites and the mainstream press.

Napster offers free mp3 player to lure subscribers. The offering is disappointing. This could have been the first useful DRM solution, one where having DRM integrated into the player would have allowed the same jukebox concept that the software espouses--a constant roving playlist in return for a subscription. Given they are already committed to DRM, this would be at least a better alternative. Instead, you have to buy the right to transfer tracks for as much as it costs to buy them on iTunes.
