misnomer: Napster

February 18, 2001

Napster

An interesting account of one of the more (most?) mainstream productions of the Vagina Monologues.

Slow food.

Holding out any hope that politics is about issues, and not pure spin? Fool yourself no longer.

Dave Grenier's thoughts on Napster pretty much sum it up for me. Good conclusion, too :>

Tipster has a good list of URLs relating to intellectual property discussion, activism, and technologies.

I should note that FairTunes.com offers a way to put artists in touch with the voluntary payments of fans.

About

Misnomer is a weblog about the politics of new and old media, foreign policy, tech, culture, philosophy, and photography. It is maintained by Dru Oja Jay, who edits a newspaper called the Dominion. He lives in Mile End, a neighbourhood of Montréal, Québec, which is, in some ways, a part of Canada, which in turn subsists on occupied native land to which Canada doesn't actually hold the title. He also travels a lot.

The Dominion

The Dominion is a newspaper with the aim of promoting decent journalism, annoying the overwhelmingly right wing Canadian press, and being non-profit and democratically accountable. All at once. This newspaper also has its own weblog, where I post often.

Others

Some other folks who contribute to misnomer from time to time include Kendall Clark, John Haney, Amanda Jernigan, Ola Mork, and Sylvia Nickerson.
