iTunes Store: the next five years

It's been five years since the iTunes Store launched. It started with only 200,000 songs and now look where we are: music, audiobooks, music videos, TV shows, movies, ringtones and of course podcasts, a whole new media form that was created because of the iPod. And now the studios are finally beginning to get a handle on the greatest business idea: give customers what they want when they want it. Okay, all snarkiness aside, having same-day DVD and iTunes Store movie releases is a good thing for customers.

LegalTorrents Offers CC Works Via BitTorrent

An anonymous reader writes "A site called LegalTorrents has just launched that hosts trackers and seeds for digital media licensed under the Creative Commons license. ('We distribute content with the full permission of the rights holders and use the peer-2-peer file-sharing technology called Bittorrent.') The site even provides a way to donate money to artists you like. (LegalTorrents takes 15% off the top unless you are a member, which costs $50 one-time during the beta period.)" It's always good to see "legitimate" content distributed in ways that make it hard to demonize the distribution system itself — something Lawrence Lessig in particular has been doing for years, and his book "Free Culture" is one of the audiobooks available through LegalTorrents.
