- ""The Recording Industry Association of America wants to educate consumers with the message, "Artists deserve to be compensated -- artists won't make music if they can't make money." I can only imagine the public service announcements with multimillionaire artists pleading for their right to a seventh Porsche in the driveway. There's no rationalization for piracy; it is what it is. However, rampant music piracy online indicates that the music industry's distribution and pricing model is out of... |

- "We have long heard that a picture is worth a thousand words, but no one has ever figured out which words an image stands for in the news of war. Perhaps nowhere has this been as problematic as during the latest war in Iraq, when images of war have been traveling as fast and as furiously as at any earlier time in history. Unlike the words at their side, the images of the war in Iraq have drawn a sustained degree of public attention, as pundits, military and government officials, journalists an... |

- We finally received some serious rain - it poured all night long and into mid morning. As a result, most of the snow in our yard is gone. Which is amazing - Peter thought we'd have snow in the front yard through May. But, I bet it will be gone by Monday. Which brings us to the Westchester Lagoon Ice Classic! |

- I always said that when I finished the book that I'd get myself a new notebook. Early on, I expected that'd mean a ThinkPad T40 or something similar but that all changed a little while ago.

- My wife Chris and I had been having our DATE NIGHTS twice a month for several years. On these special nights we would put aside all other matters and indulge in playing kinky sex games. While originally she had come up with the idea as a means of keeping me happy, she had been really getting into them lately. The rest of our lives together was very happy. We loved each other dearly and were best friends as well as lovers. |

- Sinclair to Preempt `Nightline' on ABC Stations, Cites Politics Long as I'm in a blustery, politicky mood -- let me warn you that it might be time to grab the life preservers, because the tidal wave of hypocritical First Amendment shouters will soon engulf you. Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. ordered its ABC affiliates to preempt tomorrow's broadcast of ``Nightline,'' which will air the names and photos of U.S. military personnel who have died in combat in Iraq, saying the move is politically motivated. |

- I samband med den demonstration som Piratbyrån tänker arrangera i Stockholm på första maj tar Piratbyrån fildelning med peer-to-peer till vad de kallar för "en ny nivå" i en politisk aktion som snällt kan kallas för civil olydnad eller mindre snällt för rättshaveristiskt trams (Gnuheters läsare får fritt välja hur hon ser på detta). För att praktiskt illustrera hur fritt informationsutbyte fungerar i verkligheten arrangeras en vad som kallas för "Copyswap" - en "piratmarknad där deltagarna byter egenhändigt brända cd-skivor med varandra".

- Sorry to disappear so abruptly, but the notion that vacations don't eliminate work, they just push it one side or the other, works in this trade as well. I spent Tuesday helping jury pitches for the upcoming Springboard 2004 show, then helped my wife pack frantically for an early morning flight. We are now on the East Coast for a driving vacation visiting family, old college friends, and sundry tourist sites. We're starting on Long Island, and working our way down to Northern Virginia by next weekend. Digicams and laptop are along, so there may be a bit of target-of-opportunity travel-blogging, but the biz and techie neurons are going to take a rest. |
