This mess is quite good fun. I enjoy explaining it in plain english to my coworkers who've caught the news and ask me about it. "Forget CDs," I leave them with, "Try Rhapsody, Napster2Go, iTunes, satellite radio, cable digital music channels, etc." Unfortunately, I'm talking to a low bandwidth crowd, but I think it's helping to raise suspicion of the "big boys protecting their piggybanks."
