Last night, I attended the 2008 IP3 awards put on by Public Knowledge, a Washington DC based public interest group working to defend our rights in the emerging digital culture. I had a chance to meet two of the award recipients, Fred von Lohmann and Ben Scott.

I am not the trendiest of people but I do enjoy discovering lesser known, newer music. I used to love to buy CDs, especially at live shows. I like possessing the freedom to listen to music on demand and giving to the artists in return.

It seems that the Pirate Bay issue has gotten pretty big in Sweden. Some may notice that I posted earlier about this. I must admit it all seemed a bit unreal at first. I mean, seriously, they held a rally on a pirate ship. But the more I researched the more it seemed like an […]
