Let your fans know they won't get sued If you're a musician, and you want to let your fans know they won't get sued if they download your songs, you should check out the Music Sharing License.

The Uptones, a Bay Area based ska band, are a great example of a band who makes a few songs available under the Music Sharing License, so their fans can download, but not worry about lawsuits.

Why the Sci-mag Barons are Right Crispin Davis, chief executive of publisher Reed Elsevier, defends the industry in this article in the Observer. In an article unlikely to convince the converted, Davis writes, "There is a conflict of interest in a system where authors pay to publish. Potentially, financial pressure to accept more articles could lead to a lower quality of published research." One wonders how the publishing industry, which faces the same conflict of interest, is somehow magically immune. And, of course, it isn't. Nor is quality somehow improved by subscription barriers. Indeed, one suspects that the barrie From OLDaily on April 19, 2004 at 5:45 p.m..
