The news story I was interviewed for in the wake of the Jammie Thomas verdict has aired and is now up. It's unsurprisingly simple and straightforward, but surprisingly balanced. Thanks to Richard Smith for capturing and converting the thing.

I was interviewed this morning for Global National on the subject of P2P lawsuits by the RIAA. Every time there's some sensational story to be mined, the television media seem to jump. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

OK, that was a good drum break. Back in business. So much to catch up on. Heck, even the Future of Music Coalition is blogging now, which is wonderful news. Stick that in yer link chipper. I'm going to dig into their Policy Day coverage, which I sorely had to ...

A few weeks back I looked at market share figures in the music industry.
