Music will flow like water, free of the constraint of copyright?
David Bowie to Jon Pareles in the New York Times: "The absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years, and nothing is going to be able to stop it.

Oh, and here's a link to an article by the folks at Corante Copyfight. Read it and cheer.
