Legal Music Sharing Returns To MIT

Posted by timothy on from the swallows-to-san-juan-capistrano dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Two MIT students relaunched MIT's believed-legal music sharing network today, using a Linux-based consumer audio device that also launches today as a commercial product. The 'Library Access to Music Project' (LAMP) system was first launched a year ago, but shut down after its content supplier encountered legal hurdles. The re-incarnated LAMP is based on StreetFire Sound's RBX1600, which network-enables multiple inexpensive consumer audio jukeboxes. So... what do you think? Does the new version look legal?"

    If the RIAA does mess with MIT, I'm sure they'll wish they hadn't when 10 million slashdotters launch a manual DOS attack on all major label sites in a furious cascade of ctrl-left mouse button revenge.

    Why would you pick a name that has already been taken?

    Oh, and I thought it meant Linux+Apache+MySQL+PHP. Of course, before that, I used to think it meant the... uh... thingy with lightbulb in it.
