Reading Material

In addition to sitting around, I have been catching up on my Internet browsing, and here are some interesting links I have come across... (I will probably discuss them more over the course of the week)

http://www.againstmonopoly.org/ - a group of writers who share their opinions on how intellectual property laws are misused

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2009/03/can-labels-still-sell-recorded-music.ars?utm_source=microblogging&utm_medium=pingfm&utm_term=Main%20Account&utm_campaign=microblogging - an article on what some consider the future of the music industry, a compulsory "music tax"

http://www.utterli.com/ - a strange video message based social networking system...?

http://www.othermusic.com/perl-bin/OM/index.cgi?ID=2585534.25538 - a cool brick and mortar record store in NYC that I'm going to have to visit soon

http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.10/tail.html - a fantastic description of the "long tail" theory that everyone seems to be talking about

http://app.synclive.com/ - a very cool looking web service for the streaming of live concerts - you can stream your own concerts here!

http://www.atomkeep.com/ - a website that claims to be able to keep all of your social networking profiles/pages synced

Happy reading!
