-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Sharing Music Files Praised on Page One of the Post Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2005 10:06:31 -0500 From: Paul Levy <plevy@private> To: <declan@private> There is a nice story today on page one of the Washington Post about iPod parties, where folks bring their iPods to play their favorite tunes, and even swap tunes. The article describes how one featured individual downloaded the files he was playing using a file-sharing program, SoulSeek. The Post does not declare its opposition, indeed you might say the Post is actually glorifying the participants and the process. But, I have to wonder whether the RIAA is going to file suit against the club and all its participants for stealing music. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A51639-2005Feb24.html Downloaded and Ready to Rock iPod Nights Turn Amateurs Into Digital DJs at D.C.
