Guest Paul Boutin writes about social networks and digital media for the New York Times, reviews books for the Wall Street Journal, and his latest Wired Magazine essay declared that "The age of stealing music via the Internet is officially over". Boutin describes how technological innovations have made the prospect of paying for digital music way more appealing than it was in Napster's heyday. But even as the hand of law came down this year against popular filesharing websites like Limewire and the Pirate Bay, Pirate Party leader Rick Falkvinge made quite the opposite declaration: "File sharing is increasing every day and the only thing this means is that more and more people will try to hide what they are doing on the internet." We'll discuss where things stand with music piracy as 2010 comes to a close. backing tracks: Golden Hits "Troptr Zure" // Glenny 417 "Biskopsgården Night Life" // YACHT "Ring The Bell (instrumental) // Vate "Cachonda" // Lee Rosevere "Stormbox" & "Backtime" // Broke For Free "Calm The F**k Down" all available for free downloads under Creative Commons licenses from the Free Music Archive Single Bullet Theory - "Rockers Night Out" - SBT: 1977-1980 [ 70s power-pop vs 80s new wave music industry] My Mind - "A New Man, My Life Coach, He Shine" - Path Masher [Free Music Archive] Jóvenes y Sexys - "El Reloj (El Tiempo Se Nos Va María y José Remix)" - Bruno Remixed EP [Free Music Archive] Music For Your Plants - "Air Koryo" - MFYP EP [Free Music Archive] Schizoïd Bass - "A Tree Story" - Free Juke Box [Free Music Archive] Chandeliers - "Candy Apple" - Roulé EP [ Free Music Archiveforthcoming (2011) split w/ Mahjongg] Fancy Mike - "Death Proof" - Fantastique [STOP 2X2 #04] [Peppermill's Favorite Free MP3s of 2010 ] Mochipet - "Petdestroyer" - 2999 [Free Music Archive Peppermill's 2999 page] Greg Davis - "Flurries" - 8bit EP [2010 Favorites from Cameron Parkins of Creative Commons] https://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/38509

They will establish an Orwellian "Center for Copyright Information" to monitor Peer-to-Peer networks, and to send out Copyright Alerts. The six alert levels start out as educational warnings, but may escalate to "mitigation measures" including the disruption of Internet access. Casey Rae-Hunter is Deputy Director at the Future of Music Coalition, a nonprofit working to ensure a diverse musical culture where artists flourish, are compensated fairly for their work, and where fans can find the music they want. Casey issued this statement on behalf of the FMC. Sherwin Siy is Deputy Legal Director and Kahle/Austin Promise Fellow at Public Knowledge, a public interest group working to defend your rights in the emerging digital culture. Public Knowledge issued a joint statement with the Center for Democracy and Technology on the Copyright Alert System, and Sherwin posted his thoughts here. ] Lüger - "Dracula's Chauffeur Wants More" - Concrete Light [Free Music Archive] Assassins 88 - "Scanners" - Kaneda [ also available on New Weird Australia's Sound of Young Canberra comp] Metalmorphosis - "Ballada Bezbożna" - Biopsja Duszy [Free Music Archive] Nheap - "Panthalassa" - Skymotion [ feature on the Acustronica label] https://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/41109
