Rights and money

Pandora may be a casualty of the new laws about royalties for internet radio, while the internet is challenging copyright on the very old art of periodical publishing and there is a new book asserting that copyright is a bad thing for society.

Of course, some copyright would be more easily enforced if Bono didn't annoy his neighbors and songwriters appear to be doing quite well in the new world. Also, the Star Wars franchise has a Keeper of the Canon, which puts a slightly different spin on the word, however much you think Star Wars fans act like it is a religion.
