QOTD:
While Muxtape was technically breaking the law by streaming unlicensed music online, it was not, as CD Baby founder Derek Sivers comically put it, “clearly illegal, immoral and harmful, like Auto-Tune“.

This week the US has abandoned its pursuit of criminal charges against eleven Gitmo detainees despite “plenty of evidence to convict all of them” because of the Bush Administration’s pig-headed efforts to abandon all appearances of deference to the rule of law. That is, because “there were systemic problems with the fairness of the [...]
