10/20/2003 Archived Entry: "How not to get sued by the RIAA"
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has published a guide on for all you P2P fans out there entitled "How Not To Get Sued By the RIAA For File-Sharing (And Other Ideas to Avoid Being Treated Like a Criminal)". It's an important read for any of you out there who are into that kind of thing (you know who you are - nudge nudge wink wink).
And in related news...
Apple has come out with iTunes for Windows. I can't wait to get the new OSX so I can use iTunes 4.1. By then the rumours that Apple is going to open the iTunes store to Canadians should have come true and I'll be spending all my spare cash in 99¢ chunks.

Hi Tara,
You know, because of that tariff the Canadian recording arts association takes on burnable cd's, it's okay to copy music to your heart's content. the Digital Milennium Copywright Act has no effect on Canadians whatsoever. Pirates ahoy! Yarr!

99¢ per song? More like $1.50+ per song as I'm sure there's going to be a currency conversion for Canadians. It kind of seems like a rip-off once you do the math: $1.50 X 12 tracks = $18 for an album's worth of music and you don't even get a physical disc like you would in the store. Not to mention that if you're anything of an audiophile, compressed music just isn't gonna cut it.
