David Byrne on the Kindle
David Byrne posts some very good thoughts on the experience of owning a Kindle, one of which I admit I like very much, “inevitably someone will hack the Kindle (or other formats) — and the books will become shareable… and copiable and infinitely reproducible, just like MP3s.”
I still have a compilation CD that came along with the November 2004 issue of Wired magazine featuring amazing artists. They released it under Creative Commons, titling it The WIRED CD: Rip. Sample. Mash. Share.
I was about to put the MP3s somewhere you could get to them, but they’ve already done it for me.
My favorite song of the set is My Fair Lady (track 2) by David Byrne, but the whole thing is great. I still listen to it quite a bit.
Speaking of Terms of Service agreements, yesterday I came across this magnificent bit of humor on Posterous (via Richard Nash), “The Book: Term of Service.”
