Opinion: US Internet Censorship Could Cripple Online Music Web; Where to Find Out More, Where to Act
If you haven’t been following the (excellent) coverage elsewhere, just how bad is the “Firewall of the United States,” the draconian Internet dystopia misguided legislation in the US proposes to create? That legislation is so vague, so far-reaching, so poorly-designed, that it potentially threatens all kinds of sites musicians regularly use.

The drip feed Being one of the few figureheads in video gaming whose every word is treated like manna, iconic Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto told MTV that ‘We’re not going to sit here and say that our goal is to become the number one online gaming company, because that’s not our goal.’ Fair, at least Ninty is making more effort than it has in the past, yes?

TV advertising to be bought like online advertising
Photo: viagallery.com / Flickr Media agency Initiative claims that the way television advertising is bought will soon change from its current ‘volumes divided by demographics’ model to a performance-based model which more mimics the way online advertising works.
