http://www.gnu.org/whatsnew.htmlWhat's new at the GNU project(C) Free Software Foundation 200428 Apr 2006Please sign the EFF's petition in favor of music sharing. There is one flaw in the wording of this petition. It is a mistake to speak of "compensating musicians" for copying, because that encourages the RIAA's dangerous pretense that they have "lost" something when people copy. The appropriate goal is not that musicians be "compensated"--it is to support music and musicians. However, that is no reason not to sign the petition.http://www.eff.org/share/petition/28 Apr 2006 21 Apr 2006Live streaming audio and video are available from the 2nd International Conference on GPLv3 along with other parts of the 7th International Forum on Free Software.
