Horrifying companies, dangerously stupid lawmakers... I have so many links collected about this that it's depressing to share. I'll skip the commentary and give you the links raw. You decide how depressed to be.

• What is the BPDG?
• Determination of Reasonable Rates and Terms for the Digital Performance of Sound Recordings and Ephemeral Recordings; Final Rule (thanks Doc)
• Newsbooster.com barred from linking to Danish newspaper Web sites
• Labels to net radio: die now
• Control freaks tightening their grip on the Internet
• Corporate sleaze carves into our trust

My newest brainlint: The Big Bang.

Finally, a side of business that every techie knows but people rarely talk about: The Integration Barrier Is Costing Money! God knows many companies I've worked for (ahem) have suffered from this.
