RIAA, Music Unions Agree On Payments For Digital Play
Anonymous Brave Guy writes "BBC News is reporting that musicians and artists will now be paid directly for broadcasts of their work in the U.S., without the cash going to record company middle men, as a result of a deal struck between trade unions and industry representatives including the RIAA." Note the tidbit toward the end of the story mentioning the new European copyright directive, and saying "It gives copyright owners permission to use encryption to block the duplication of copyright-protected works." Permission?

I mean I'm watching French Connection and everything in it is so... I don't know, shitty. Cars are damn ugly boxes with sharp edges, bridges are made out of ugly steel bars, everything looks dirty and peoples clothes are just horrible. Oh, and all the black people are portrayed as criminals.
I don't know why, but watching all that makes me want to drink whiskey.
Admitance is the first step. For taking that step, here is a red chip. The red chip is good for 4 beers at Sharkey's bar and pool hall across the street, after the meeting of course.
The previous comment was obviously an attempt at getting so called 'Moderation Points'.
