Hey everyone: it's been quiet around here because I'm on vacation for August (and have already been for part of July).

No, this is not because copyright reform must involve long vacations. It's just that I'm in the middle of a move, and need some extra time to complete it. (But I admit there are a few beaches involved too.) Someday, it will be the case that just because I take a break doesn't mean QuestionCopyright.org does — but we're not there yet.

See you in September, and enjoy your summer (or winter, if you're in the Southern hemisphere).

The bad dream of DRM continues. Yahoo e-mailed its Yahoo! Music Store customers yesterday, telling them it will be closing for good—and the company will take its DRM license key servers offline on September 30, 2008. Sure, it’s bad news and yet another example of the sheer lobotomized brain-deadness that has characterized music DRM, but the reaction of most music fans will be: “Yahoo had an online music store?”
