TechDirt has a post today regarding a judge’s decision to examine the constitutionality of the RIAA’s fines which have ranged from $750 to $30,000 [!!!!] per song in their still ongoing lawsuits against music downloaders.

While that whole issue will likely be addressed here at some point, the TechDirt site covers a lot of ground on the subject of music downloading and lawsuits and provides links to some great additional coverage. Here’s the search results for TechDirt’s stories involving the RIAA.

SOME ADVICE: If you’re interested in music [or replace music with whatever else you’re interested in] you should read more than just music sites, magazines etc. First off, it’s amazing, in the case of music at least, how many other industries, non-music blogs etc. will touch on the role of music, whether in general or as relating to their specific industry [marketing blogs have been good sources for music news/ideas as have tech ones].

By reading a wide variety of subjects/sources, it’ll also provide insight into other areas/businesses where you may be able to find inspiration to take back to your music/business.
