17. December, 2002 - givin' 'em the business
- David DeYoung also felt young by going to the The Dave Ray Tribute. [Jim]
- Despite the year-end noise, music industry fading away. They tried to squeeze every last penny of profit out of consumers and artists, and now people aren't buying much music. My music purchases are sure way down. And the music I did buy this year was either bought directly from local artists or bought used. [doc]
- RIAA's Statistics Don't Add Up to Piracy. Rather, they released fewer titles last year, and sales were down. But the percentage decrease in titles was a lot more than the decrease in sales. Yeah, I feel pretty bad for 'em. [boing boing]
- The CD MAP Settlement site has information on how to claim your share of the settlement the record companies have to pay for setting CD prices too high. If you bought a prerecorded music CD between 1995 and 2001, you're eligible for between 5 and 20 dollars. [boing boing]
- No, really! when AOL laid of half of the mozilla.org people, what was in their severance packages? You got it, 1000 hours free! [boing boing]
- Google vs. Evil. A good discussion of morals on the internet, and within the best search engine on it. [scripting]
- Yeah, someone won the camera. I'm still working on the code I need to properly show you the winning entry. It's not too often someone wins a prize for making me do more work.
- I wrote up some thoughts on self censorship and blogging and how it applies to what you might see here on Dave's Picks. Nothing profound, but I was thinking about it and then there was another essaylet written.
