 Thursday, November 07, 2002I Thought The BBC Was Better Than This
Online music sales plummet. Sales of CDs online fall by 25%¸ according to a survey¸ with CD-burning and illegal song-swapping over the internet blamed. [BBC News | TECHNOLOGY] I'm really disappointed with the BBC. I thought they were better than this. They quote an unnamed RIAA spokesman and that's it? News outlets must stop propagating the unsubstantiated assertion that file sharing hurts music sales. Actual evidence suggests otherwise. That's totally irresponsible. 11:39:13 PM   Progress On SOAP Firm changes mind on SOAP patent. Portal software maker Epicentric has changed its stance regarding a patent on a key Web services standard, paving the way for its approval. [CNET News.com] Excellent. If I understand correctly, only WebMethods is still standing in the way. 11:25:39 PM
