What you are stating here is that the GMO-method of getting IP-rights is not so bad after all because there are also other methods of getting some IP-rights. That's a logical fallacy called red herring.

Exactly. In this video Eben Moglen explains why for Microsoft threatening is better than suing. So Microsoft prefers denying that they have anything to do with SCO... although they may do some business with them.

mtnlion1 writes: Amazon.com announced it will launch a digital music store later this year offering millions of songs in the DRM-free MP3 format from more than 12,000 record labels. EMI Music's digital catalog is the latest addition to the store. Every song and album in the Amazon.com digital music store will be available exclusively in the MP3 format without digital rights management (DRM) software. Amazon's DRM-free MP3s will free customers to play their music on virtually any of their personal devices — including PCs, Macs(TM), iPods(TM), Zunes(TM), Zens(TM) — and to burn songs to CDs for personal use.

Submission + - Linux: A Musician's OS?

Submitted by lazyeye on Monday May 07, 2007 @06:45AM

lazyeye writes: Keyboard Magazine has an in-depth article about the state of music production on Linux. While it does introduce Linux to the average musician, the article does get into some of the available music applications and music-oriented Linux distributions out there. From the opening paragraph:

You might think there's no way a free operating system written by volunteers could compete when it comes to music production. But in the past couple of years, all the tools you need to make music have arrived on Linux.

Submission + - The End of .Mac and Google Apps?

Submitted by mattnyc99 on Friday May 04, 2007 @05:08PM

mattnyc99 writes: In his weekly tech column for Popular Mechanics, Glenn Derene predicts that everyone will have a home server to network their house within 10 years—rendering Apple's .Mac accounts and Google's productivity software useless. As prices for products like HP's MediaSmart Server drop and as processing power becomes more pervasive, Derene says, "you'll ultimately need a centralized server—that high-powered traffic cop—to coordinate the non-stop exchange of information between your new multitude of devices." Do Slashdotters buy this trend-spotting? And would they buy one of these?
