Couple of quick links to interesting things:

Online Blog has the explanation for what’s been going on with Daypop. Turns out the owner is in Italy and is unable to fix it from there!

Dan Bricklin presents us with The Recording Industry is Trying to Kill the Goose That Lays the Golden Egg. Good stuff about the real reasons for the decline in CD sales and a bunch of other stuff with the record companies. (link lifted from Steven Vore)

Meanwhile, Doc has links to all the latest on the RIAA suits against P2P networks, as he usually does!
