This article reports on a new product that will facilitate the transfer
of music over the Internet. It also
documents the efforts that the recording industry is taking to prevent
this technology from spreading,
including a court suit to have it banned. This again points to the
increasing inefficiency of the
copyright system as a means to support artistic work in the digital age.
