Submission + - Major label music in MP3 format scoops Apple

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: Michael Robertson seems to have scooped Steve Job by launching a service selling albums of major label music in MP3 format at http://www.anywherecd.com/ . Albums are 9.95+ and all tracks are instantly loaded into a permanent locker without DRM so they can streamed, downloaded and there's a utility which will auto-load directly into iTunes for Mac and Win. Maybe the labels want real competition for iTunes? All the details are at: http://michaelrobertson.com/
It's funny. Laugh.

Submission + - How Not To Comply With a Takedown Notice?

The ads are quite funny, so I offered to host them on my webserver. That was 7 years ago. They were basically forgotten about except when I occasionally looked at my web statistics and saw that they were the most popular pages on my webserver. As many as 10 people a month would actually view them. Well, today I got a certified letter from a lawyer representing Gene & Jude's claiming I've damaged their company and demanding that I take them down. Now, I can understand their point and if Gene or Jude would have called me and said, "Hey, I don't like those so much, could you take them down?" I would have in a heartbeat. Now that they've called their lawyer, my question is, what can I do at the very least to postpone taking them down or, better yet, keep them up?"
