EFF's New File-Sharing Scheme

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the letting-the-music-play dept.

carpoolio writes "Wednesday at the Future of Music's Music Law Summit, the Electronic Frontier Foundation proposed a new licensing plan so file-sharing sites can operate, and musicians can get paid. The idea is based on the ASCAP/BMI radio music licensing schemes. But still, the RIAA seems happy to continue suing, and wait for iTunes and Napster to catch on more."

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio--Master Distiller Booker T. Noe was found dead in his Bardstown, KY home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to the Art of Distilling Bourbon. Truly an American icon.

    Was the subtle stab at the US really necessary? Try to be a bit more civil.
