remainders

* Dennis Kennedy: "There are two misconceptions. One is that RSS is just about reading blogs, and the other is that blogs are not worth reading. Some of the most influential voices in technology and business are on weblogs."

* blogbook: "Continuing to call the music industry a "business" is to fly in the face of reality. They've already been convicted of collusion and price-fixing [] and now they're accused of blacklisting. These are the classic actions of a cartel (drugs, crime, oil) that seeks to retain its stranglehold on its chosen domain."

* Kairosnews: "When a disinfranchised or marginalized group finds a way to use technology that either circumvents or challenges the authority of the dominant group, that group responds first by punishing the "evil doers" with litigation, then changing the technology itself to close off the hole."

* Chris Cohen: Support the DMCRA

* Penn & Teller on Profanity: Some groups are trying to stop the use of profanity. They claim they only want to "clean up" the airwaves. But this new censorship is creeping into all aspects of society. A whole show on words and the power we give them, focusing on the latest actions of the FCC and other anti-profanity groups. The First Amendment is under attack. Hey, what country do we live in?If you're not already watching it, you should be.
