Vivendi et al. about to demonstrate how they value artists and their
work.

http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2003/11/21/14616/561

Somebody please tell me that this is a nightmare, and I am about to
wake up.

Let's see ... was there a contract to keep things up ad infinitum ?

This is a good step, part of waking up from the dream that there are free
things on Internet. If there is no eyeball-catching value to be derived from
offering "free" service the service will cease to exist. This may well happen
with "free" e-mail accounts as well - I wonder who will be the first to
eliminate the free service in face of diminishing advertizing revenue - Yahoo ?
Hotmail ?
