Free for all

Yay! mp3's for all Canadians! Someone should set up a kazaa like service for Canada-might even be an opportunity to get some revenue for artists. I wonder too if musicians have a case for suing CIRA for lost revenue for not negotiating with Kazaa when they were offering a revenue sharing plan a couple of years ago. Combining the legality of internet sharing with that report that showed no loss in revenue from downloading, the loss of any money that would have flowed from a revenue sharing arrangement seems like a quantifiable and recoverable amount.

In other internet news, I'm enjoying the daily Andrew blogging--have fun in D.C.! And don't go too bonkers in the Smithsonian! I'm also taking the opportunity to tell Lindsay that she needs to update her journal...how am I going to live vicariously in New Zealand without it? And Matt--that Loch Lomond adventure and the story of the Hudson's Bay executive should tell you something: Scotland's out to get you and you need to return to Canada. Well, maybe not, but is it entirely coincidence? I guess the lure of cash, women, and rock and roll is, like, a "draw" or something. ;) Sounds pretty good, I'd have to admit.
