bad news, when it rains it pours
It's definitely not a good day for a web munkee like me who is highly dependent on the internet for inspiration, work and inspiration for work.
Bad news no.1
No more free internet radio starting on July 15, 2007. With the new royalty rates, with increase starting from 300% to 1200%, internet radio service providers lke real, mtv and the one i'm fond of, Yahoo LAUNCHCast have no choice but to stop it's free service and have it available for premium subscribers only (which rougly sums to 3% of the population). What does this mean? Internet music dies on July 15... Great artists were introduced to me through this medium and now they're gonna kill it? WTF were they thinking?
If you are a friend of music, show your support. Do not let them take away our music.

Bad news no.2
One of my favorite photographer is facing a 100,000$ lawsuit against an empire he previously worked for. I am talking about Philip Warner of Lithium Picnic vs Suicide Girls. If you haven't seen his works then I'm sad to say that he had to put his entire site down until this crisis is over. It's such a shame that a big company like Suicide Girl would pick on a single man just because they felt that this man's skills are a threat. He even had to sell his photo gears to put up with this as we all know lawsuits take a lot of time and money. You may still be able to find some of his masterpieces through Google but this barely justify the "awesomeness" of his collections. This news is terribly awful.
