I will never get tired of this story: Here's more
Slashdot coverage about the RIAA library settlement. Executive summary: the RIAA is still sending out thousands of copies of cut-outs, singles, holiday albums and anything from the 'shipped gold, returned platinum' category. Here is an older
Slashdot story on the same topic.
Here are some other links on the topic, from intellectual-property legal blog
Furdlog, political newd site
Free Republic, uberblog
BoingBoing, library news site
LISNEWS (the name makes it pretty clear, huh?), file-sharing news site
Zeropaid and two from
boycott-
riaa.com, where, again, the name kinda says it all. And here's more from the
Shifted Librarian, the
Creative Librarian and the
Kung-Fu Librarian, which is a new one on me.
Last but not least, did you know that
NC and
PA managed to work out a deal that lets them actually choose the CDs? Those lucky quakers and, uh, tarheels. And did you know that some of the settlement CDs actually had
mold on them? That's not just a colorful metaphor.
