[Thinking by Peter Davidson] Thinking About The Music Industry: Click through from the show notes to the Podsafe Music network, listen to additional songs by that artist, click through to the artist's website, read the background, tour information, learn about albums, subscribe to their blog and their own podcast all so you can experience the story of the music group.

[ Fortune Grey] DJ/Rupture steals the stars from the sky: Ripping its way around the net several years ago, the Gold Teeth Thief mix was the first challenger to Coldcut’s 70 Minutes of Madness crown and its raucous melange reacted fiercely against the fake rules of DJing, the artificial boundaries saying what music you can/can’t play in different environments and how to put that music together. But unlike Coldcut’s studio-recorded set, Rupture recorded his live on three turntables.

[Downhillbattle.org] Downhill Battle - Music Activism: The Register writes, "US politician challenging the pro-Hollywood Utah Senator Orrin Hatch is supporting file-sharing as a means to promote business innovation and keep the internet free." Read the interview, so let's see how much a pro-legislator can do for business innovation and music industry reform. See-ya later, Hatch.

[Bigpicture.typepad.com] The Big Picture: The False Mathematics of the RIAA: Second to your point is that this isn't about musicians (most of whom aren't artists).

[Blogmaverick.com] Some Support for the RIAA ”” A Music Tax - Blog Maverick - www ...: The Riaa has been overcharging us for years the cds are 16.00 dollars and dont go down in price as they get old.Movies on the other hand go down in price after a year or so offer crystal clear video 5.1 sound and a more expensive media so paying 7.99-14.99 for a movie that cost a hundred million to make I feel is fair. Ive bought the same music on album then cassette because of scrathes and worn out albums then finally cd I make a copy for the car(fair use)now they have anticopy cost double the price of a movie and only have one or two good songs its really sad when music artists complain about infringment when they can retire in their teens and their are talented bands playing small clubs and bars for years who never record an album because they arent one of the beautiful people(marketable) but play for the love of the music
