She Says She's No Music Pirate. No Snoop Fan, Either.. Sarah Ward, a 66-year-old sculptor and retired schoolteacher, was stunned when the record industry sued her for being a music pirate. By John Schwartz. [New York Times: Technology]

It would have been better for the industry to say "I'm sorry, my bad" Now, The New York Times jas the story... Nice publicity, How do the artists feel?

The Cult of the NDA [Slashdot] My philosophy is that if you must disclose something to someone who has no formal relationship to the company, then it is not confidential.

I agree. I use to demand payment for singing an NDA. After all if I had similar ideas in the past the NDA would not permit me to develop them. So there was a cost of opportunity. With that strategy I seldom had to sign NDAs.
