Sour notes at MIT

The story of MIT service designed to allow legal music sharing on
campus has taken an inauspicious turn.  My law school classmate
Jonathan Zittrain, quoted in the New York Times article,
has it right.  The copyright system for music is broken, so
completely broken that not even the experts fully understand the state
of the law.  The legal system is increasingly becoming a battering
ram against any form of innovation involving digital media.
