Slashdot: News for nerds, stuff that matters
They have ongoing stories and discussions on all these issues of music and video copying, sharing, laws, DRM etc.
Their latest story is about a new Common License that is along the ideas of open source software. The RIAA seems to me to be a structure businessmen and lawyers use to rip artists off. Someday hopefully direct purchase of artists songs will give them a much bigger slice of the money and put the greedy parasitic music companies who abuse so many artists out of business.
