Phony Sony, Maxel, TDK etc. Relive music piracy the way it used to be done, back in the days when even Shawn Fanning was a glint in someone's eye*, let alone his original Napster app and the P2P world it spawned. Yes, we're talking cassette tapes and a 21st Century take on this format of yesteryear.â¦

Napster was a revolutionary product. It practically gave birth to the p2p industry on the Internet. It has lead to a stage that big corporations of the music industry are practically scared of losing a major chunk of their business from this phenomenon.

What, they're not made of organic hemp? Apple is a grubby polluter and isn't doing enough to change that, according to environmental pressure group Greenpeace.

Steve Jobs' essay questioning the wisdom of selling DRM-wrapped tunes is still spurring lots of discussion about the future of music, and rightly so. In Listening Post.

In this era of high-speed Internet access, the back-to-school season features college students streaming back into their broadband-wired dormitory rooms, booting up their computers and letting gigabytes of digital tunes flow like a waterfall -- and for many students, the question of whether the downloading violates copyright laws plays second fiddle. However, a legal, affordable alternative has a chance to thrive in this potentially huge market, or at least that's what the digital music business and the universities are hoping.

Record labels don't trust us with their music. They need to retune that thinking
