At this point no one knows which way to go… eventually someone somewhere will find someplace good and we’ll give music a new rev level and blog about it ’til you puke.

In the meantime, here’s an interesting perspective from the frontier (h/t PotLuckCon):

Technology is advancing far too quickly for the old safeguards of intellectual property rights to keep up, and while we wait for the technical fixes to emerge, those of us who want to explore the opportunities the Internet offers need to establish a set of ground rules that give us the power to decide how our music is exploited and by whom.

That’s singer/songwriter Billy Bragg in an intelligent opinion piece last month in the NYT titled “The Royalty Scam”.
