Dept. of Plunder And Discard
Michael Robertson's attempts to save the million-song music archive of the company he founded, MP3.com, appear to have been unsuccessful. The MP3.com domain was bought by CNET, and Vivendi Universal had warned that the plug would be pulled. Asshats. Asshats. Asshats.
In other news, Vivendi offered to buy the Iraq Museum in Baghdad. |

Dept. of Intemperate Remarks
The head mouse may or may not have really shot his mouth off:
In an hour-long interview with LA Times on Monday departing Disney board members Disney and Gold, Gold claimed that 'Eisner called him and others -- including Pixar Chairman Steve Jobs -- 'Shiite Muslims,' according to The Drudge Report: "Gold took that to mean that Eisner believed his critics were extreme in their views. [However] a company spokeswoman said Eisner 'categorically denies' calling anyone a 'Shiite Muslim.'"
Well, no one can accuse him of trying to blow Sunni shine up anyone's skirt. |

Dept. of Dispatches

GENEVA ACCORD: MAIN POINTS Nobody gets everything they want, except peace. I still think that Jerusalem should be declared a city for all the world and put under U.N. control, but there's no way in Hell that the fundamentalists of the world will let that happen.

NY Times looks at future of downloadable music. A new E-Commerce Report penned by Bob Tedeschi in The New York Times looks at the future of downloadable music from the iTunes Music Store and other services. Now that Apple has proven that commercial online music downloads are a viable business, Music at your fingertips, and a battle among the sellers examines some of the trends that experts think are headed our way in the years to come. [MacCentral] The first two paragraphs nails the main reason I use Gnutella:
COMING to a music download store in 2004: Yo-Yo Ma's Shostakovich Quartet No. 15 and Bob Dylan's second show at Amsterdam.
Exactly. There's lot of stuff out there that I'd love to have, but for which there isn't a commercial distribution outlet. |
