In the meantime

I have a few personal news items pending for the next 2 days, but in the meantime:

Mashups have been driven deeper underground. I guess now everyone who'd been taking pieces and samples of other songs and combining them to make new compositions will stop forever. Thank the Creator; artists are now protected from evil remixers using their orginal material in new and creative ways.

Incidentally, Cory "Where It's At" Doctorow has already posted and commented on this at boingboing.
