This is funny, but in a very sad and surreal sort of way. The RIAA has now filed suit against a family that doesn’t even own a computer. (!) They maintain the family shared songs illegally online, and they even published a list of those songs. I have to wonder how they shared the songs… telepathically, perhaps? Boing Boing has the details on this.

Lawrence Lessig's presentation on free culture
I highly recommend viewing the presentation given by Lawrence Lessig on free culture. I’d been really annoyed by DRM and certainly recent implementations of it by Apple did nothing to help the case for it. Then I viewed this presentation, and it really opened my eyes to what’s going on out there, and why there are more and more restrictions on content. It was given in 2002, and if you look at what’s happened since, you can really see the changes! They’re for the worse, not better – so please, take 20 minutes to watch it or download the transcript, and do your part to save our collective works of culture! Thanks!
