Living In the machine age I had some thoughts about the Napsters and what not. With the demise of Napster and AudioGalaxy and the stone weight label of thieves hung about the neck of Kazaa. And with universities and corporations being bullied into chasing file-sharing off their networks. It's hard to see who currently has the upper hand or moral high ground in the Mp3 and Ogg Vorbis versus the recording industry wars (choose your poison - Apple's iTunes now supports Vorbis). So I decided to sit down and try to organize my thoughts and feelings on the subject. This piece is what I came up with. [note: after I wrote most of this, I read a article that Tim O'Reilly, (the O'Reilly in O'Reilly books) wrote for his site, giving his views as a publisher on openness of distribution and use which I thought very illuminating on the subject So I thought I'd give a shout out to it here.] 12:13:22 PM    comment [];trackback [];
