DRM Discussions

InfoWorld reports on DRM at Comdex, and, last July (yes, those Audible downloads have a way of backing up on me...) Seth Godin penned this cogent Memo To: Media Monopolists for Fast Company: "You can whine, lobby, sue, and then cripple your product so that it can't be copied. Or, maybe, just maybe, you can stop thinking like a monopolist long enough to find new business models, new markets, and new strategic plans."

"Not If, But How"

The Law Marketing Portal has rounded up 100 Law Firm Branding Tag Lines, most of which resonate as some form of craven haiku. The NTLF blog comments on omissions (no permalink; 11/19/02).
[Later] The links to the Law Marketing Portal site initially posted here are behaving very strangely, but you can read the mottos at the NTLF blog.

See also the SPAM Haiku archive and book ("Tranquil Reflections on Luncheon Loaf").

If you have a CafePress store, do be sure to include the Classic Thong among your offerings. (Different search, similar results.) [via Frank's pointer to rathergood, which does -- and is.]

Looking for tunes to add to your favorite P2P network or device for free and without losing sleep (albeit crises of conscience on this front are nothing if not in short supply)? Amazon's music download pages are a decent resource, with many files in MP3 format, and interesting artists like Thievery Corporation and Zero 7. Janis Ian releases MP3s of her tunes on her site regularly.
