Yeah, I'll grant you that. If I like a group well enough, I'll buy
albums just on the strength of their name.

The Register has an article today with a great quote from SBC lawyer Jim
Ellis:
"Under the RIAA's interpretation of the law, anyone willing to pay a
small fee and represent that its copyright is being violated would be
entitled to know the name, address and phone number of the person behind
an anonymous e-mail," said Ellis. "This would readily lead the Internet
stalker, the child predator or the abusive spouse to their victims."

We must shut down the RIAA to 'Save the Children'.

Metadiscussion: Agora has rolled over for the fall. I will let this
sit for a day or so to allow a few other items to establish themselves
in the new Agora conference, then I'll start The Sixteenth Napster Item.
In the meantime, here was an entertaining rant from USA Today:
"Free CD downloads: Recording industry can't put this cat back in bag"

A university business professor writes about her attempts to give up
Kazaa and use the legal download services.
Quote from near the end:
"The next day, I asked my students in class if they could recommend
any good legal sites for downloading music. I got a blank, puzzled
silence in response. Finally, one student asked, 'Why would you want
to do that?'
"Dutifully, I recited the RIAA's mantra: 'I don't shoplift; I
shouldn't steal music.'
"'But the legal sites don't have any good music,' explained one
earnest senior in the front row."

I, too, would be interested in learning about legal sites which offer
downloads of good music. Unfortunately my search efforts haven't been
especially rewarding, though you do find stuff here and there.

I don't know about downloading it, but for streaming audio the BBC
Archives are really fabulous for the kinds of music the BBC offers.
