  2. Who Needs Radio?

    DragonMagic writes "MSNBC asks what many /.ers have been asking: Who needs the radio anymore? Rather, it goes on to really ask, who needs the RIAA anymore? With online music distribution sources, television, and the internet itself, how much longer will it be before the radio, and the RIAA, will be an obsolete means to promote artists?"

    DragonMagic writes "MSNBC carries this story regarding West Virginia's settlement with Microsoft, and dropping out of holding off for more sanctions against the software giant. This leaves just Massachusetts hoping to make Microsoft pay more than just a slap on the wrist." Actually, as an anonymous reader writes "in North Carolina, they [Microsoft] lost a class action suit so now certain customers in that state will be able to get their money back." $89 million is not exactly peanuts.
