The hugely popular iTunes is a success story. But not for Apple, which makes virtually no revenue from the online download service.

Hi! You have the right to remain silent! (wanna cyber?)
The RIAA, bastions of goodness and justice, are sending IMs to nasty file-sharers, telling them that what they're doing is naughty. And that they might just end up in court.
A private company they're hiring plans to send a million messages per week, telling the thieving pirates that the RIAA knows where they live.
Looks like "Hilary Rosen" is one person I'll be putting on my ignore list.

In a reversal of fortunes for the RIAA et al, a judge rules against them saying that p2p technology is "not significantly different from"..."home video recorders or copy machines, both of which can be and are used to infringe copyrights."
Of course this isn't the end of it, and appeals are being made, but for once things are going the way of the P2P software makers, it seems.
