Not purely an mp3 item, but an mp3.com news pointer leads to it.

discusses a "stealth plan" to put a copyright protection system
into all new hard disks starting summer 2001. Yes, this makes
backups and large disk farms difficult to impossible to operate.
"But for home users, the party's over. CRPM paves the way for
CPRM-compliant audio CDs, and the free exchange of digital
recordings will be limited to non-CPRM media...."

I'm extremely skeptical about the overblown claims being made in the CPRM
stories (CPRM = Copy Protection for Removable Media..)
It seems unlikely to me that the system can do all that its critics claim
it will do and if indeed it does those things it seems pretty unlikely
that it will be a widely adopted and successful technological format.

Pete Townshend on Napster:

and if I typoed that, see www.mp3.com/news and dig down.
He seems tired of the old business model -- note his carping about BMI --
and willing to see what's coming.

I'm not sure if I like this proposal, but there is an interesting article on
a way to make free distribution of content profitable here:
