The RIAA gives up and walks the plank.

It has been a long time coming, but the RIAA has finally realized they are fighting a losing battle. Now, instead of suing dead people and minors, they’ll just tattle on you to your ISP to tell them that you are sharing music back out to the Internet and maybe they’ll do something about it. Pfft! Whatever.

The moral of the story is this, download using a bittorrent client or whatever other method you prefer, but just don’t share it back out to the Internet. DUH!

Fireside Chats on the Internats

Obama will be the first president to use the internet and YouTube to deliver his weekly address. Here is his first pre-presidential address.

This is pretty cool considering McCain didn’t know how to use a computer and Bush had to have staff members load his 13 favorite songs onto his I-Pod.

Change is coming . . . one can only hope.

UPDATE: Kevin Woster seems to be fearful of this new medium (yes, he is talking about the internet).

I’m with Susan Stamberg.

Like her, I’m sad that the weekly presidential radio messages will now be on YouTube.

Geez.

And the newspaper business wonders why they are going in the toilet.
