Lots of stuff today... KaZaa has stopped offering their filesharing client for download at http://www.kazaa.com. This does not appear to affect the operation of clients already downloaded, though there are rumors that the KaZaa company may be able to shut off its clients operating on the FastTrack network. http://mp3newswire.net has more. Also Cnet at: http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-8513895.html?tag=mn_hd ----- Another Cnet story reports on an attempt to get everyone to agree on a no-copy flag for the digitial TV bitstream. Theoretically this flag is to be turned into a standard, and then into hardware, in time for the Federal deadline for all TV to be broadcast digitally in May. Um, right. http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-8516912.html?tag=mn_hd ----- Finally, Slashdot publicizes and rips to shreds a website put up by Universal Music Group to try to explain and justify their CD-copy- prevention scheme. UMG CDs now contain a software license which appears to forbid loaning the disc, and which certainly brings consumers under crypto export controls. Slashdot's story and rude comments are at http://slashdot.org/articles/02/01/17/1335204.shtml Universal's own site is at http://www.musichelponline.com
