P2P: Fueling broadband growth everywhere

April 14, 2005 By Anne Leave a Comment

First we were breathless watching the phenomenal growth of the Web itself (see my lead item back in 10/00). Then it was the number of people going online. Now the breathtaking stats are about broadband adoption (fast connections in homes). And guess what's fueling its high-speed growth? File-sharing, Wired News reports.

Flak for Grouper file-sharing

April 13, 2005 By Anne Leave a Comment

Grouper was thought to be a safe, legal alternative to P2P, but BMG Music thinks not, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Grouper's creators say that group size isn't the only distinguishing factor; files are streamed, or played … [Read more...] about Flak for Grouper file-sharing

Our children - whether they're listeners, downloaders, composers, or digital-music mashers - are affected by the copyright-law decisions being made these days, including the one the US Supreme Court is expected to announce in June. "When people are willing to line up for nearly 24 hours to hear a copyright case, something far bigger than accessing free music is taking place," writes Internet law … [Read more...] about Copyright law & our kids

P2P & new copyright thinking

April 1, 2005 By Anne Leave a Comment

Hip-hop is a great example of music that's *so* Digital Age, the Christian Science Monitor points out in a thorough think piece on all Net-based music's shades of gray. "The Internet hasn't only made copying easy, it also has helped foster a culture in which some artists create new work by literally reusing or remixing the work of others. Hip-hop music, built on the idea of 'sampling' the beats or … [Read more...] about P2P & new copyright thinking
