Hey you guys - you gotta check this article out!http://www.eastbayexpress.com/Issues/2007-01-10/music/pressplay.htmlIt's hilarious! It put an interesting perspective on this whole lawsuit thing - a perspective I hadn't thought of before.
The first paragraph:
I'm coming off a bad four-day acid trip where some serious role
reversals took place: Radio oligarch Clear Channel Communications —
among the most maligned corporations in the Bay — looked as if it was
helping to free the music. Meanwhile, file-sharing demigods the
Grateful Dead acted like huge, corporate dicks, suing a Web site that
introduced a new generation to their music for free, and licensing
inane board games that even Deadheads can't tolerate.The article is perhaps a little confused as I don't know where Clear Channel fits in - later in the article it's pretty clear that Clear channel sold all the good booty to Wolfgang's Vault (thankfully!).
Just thought you guys should read this funny article.
Thanks for the great site!
