Future publishing?

I’m seeing a lot of “predictions” thrown around by various columnists and bloggers trying to foresee the future of publishing.
Ransom Stephens has “Booking the future” and it’s an interesting take.  The timeline, as usual, looks a bit fast (at least to start) but it seems like a pretty practical view of what could (should?) happen.

Legal or not? site links & copyright

I’ve been getting the MakeUseOf posts for possible inclusion in Computer Helpers, but I have to carefully examine some of these sites.
For example, I saved a bookmark for a site that said it had MP3s of TV show theme songs.  When I checked, however, some of the tunes the site claimed to have earlier were [...]
