I've not touched the net-neutrality debate here on TDMW but now I finally have the (loosest) tie-in (ever).A protest song called "God Save the Internet" by "The Broadband" (broad, band.. broadband. They're all "broads", they're in a "band", They're singing about Broadband.. nudge, nudge - get it?) is making the rounds as a free download.
The trio, Kay Hanley, Jill Sobule, and Michelle Lewis, met at an anger management class, according to The Inquirer (who totally missed the joke). The Inquirer also says it'll kick start the three girls' careers.. we think they need to check their record collection, as Jill Souble is responsible for the mega-hit "I Kissed A Girl", as well as a song on the soundtrack of "Clueless".
Regardless, the song includes lyrics such as, "Some of the people in our congress want to send us back to the days of the Pony Express."
A lack of net-neutrality could stifle innovation internet-wide, which also means the digital music space, and it's delivery methods, could come under attack. Just imagine who can afford to pay tiered bandwidth costs with more ease, deep pocketed Apple and their DRM coded buddies or resource strapped DRM-free competitors eMusic, Magnatune or Musica360?
