Pundits Ask: Who Owns Music?
by Chris Oakes
3:00 a.m. 26.Feb.2000 PST
CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts -- Intellectual property protection in the age of
digital music has few options -- three, to be exact.
And if you ask Harvard Law School Professor Terry Fisher, only one is
truly viable: the unfettered release of intellectual property, with
profits distributed fairly among all interested parties.

MP3 Revolution: Rhetoric or Real?
by Chris Oakes
2:00 p.m. 25.Feb.2000 PST
CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts -- Music wants to be free. MP3 will bring artists
a bigger cut of the profits. Middlemen will diminish, and the recording
industry is running scared.
"The question is: Is this real or is this just so much rhetoric?" asked
Charles Nesson, director of Berkman Center for the Internet & Society and
moderator of the opening panel at "Signal or Noise? The Future of Music on
the Net," a conference held on Friday at Harvard Law School.
