EFF: The Season of Bad Laws - Banning MP3 Streaming

From the Electronic Frontier Foundation: Senators have introduced a bill, that is aimed at punishing satellite radio for offering its subscribers devices capable of recording off the air.

Contact your representatives. This is simply more digital repression.

Lawrence Lessig's blog had a mention of an independent band, Beatnik Turtle, doing right by a fan when that fan's access to their music was denied online. The story comes from Beatnik Turtle's "Indie Band Survival Guide" (to which this submission links directly). The episode was also mentioned in Wired's blog.
