As a followup to yesterday's story about senate hearings regarding the Napster case, the Washington Post has an article describing a plan that would strip the music industry from some of the Internet copyright privileges. This plan would allow web sites to sell music online without needing permission of each individual record company, rather paying royalties to the music labels for each song or album sold. The big record companies oppose this strongly and the RIAA already is looking for support among key senators to make sure this doesn't happen. Whatever happens to Napster, it sure doesn't sound like this battle against online music is ending any time soon.
