The Way the Music Died

It's nothing I've not heard before, but it's nice to see the mainstream media is finally catching on...

Frontline just released a show entitled The Way the Music Died, an in-depth look at all that is wrong with the music industry. The show will be available for online viewing on May 29th. Their website includes the full text of all of the interviews done during the show, including a very interesting one with musical legend David Crosby, where he hits the reason the industry is having problems right on the head.

Online dating firm patents cupid's arrow

I must concur with the Register's assessment here: the USPTO has truely outdone itself. Patenting everything one does will lead to a world we are rapidly approaching: where stupidity has finally stifled innovation once and for all.
