Here's a short but sweet radio interview [audio file] by Jon Gordon with legendary folkie Janis Ian, whose Internet Debacle article on file-swapping now rivals Courtney Love's Salon rant for sheer linkability.
Ian on Sony and the RIAA: "You can't have your cake and eat it, too...They've created a monster..and they're going to have to deal with the fall out from that monster. They're going to have to regain the trust of the consumers, which after thirty years of changing media on the consumers--and then calling them thieves, as a member of Congress recently did for downloading--they've got some amends to make."
In related news, CNet has a piece in which Microsoft, Intel, and Dell appear semi-conciliatory toward Hollywood--provided it keeps its mitts off P2P.
