I may be away from home and away from the blogoshere for a week, but that doesn’t stop me using the power of WordPress’ forward-publishing capabilities to serve up something for the weekend.
As many of you know, I used to lay down the odd beat or two in my younger years… but not this young!

As my final instalment to my showcase month of old DJ mixes, I return to House music, but this time with a little twist.

This is the third instalment of a retired DJ’s month of music. Apologies for not getting this published on Friday but that pesky real world grabbed hold of me and forced me to spend a few days away from home and the blogosphere.

Last month I wrote an article titled, Digital rights management dissected, where I looked with a cynical eye upon Steve Jobs, Apple, the music industry and DRM.
Earlier this week Steve Jobs announced an agreement with EMI where Apple will sell DRM-free music through its iTunes store. What’s more, this DRM-free music will be higher quality [...]

Last week I was working with some digital video and acquired a few clips which were protected by Windows Media’s Digital Rights Management (DRM) system. This meant that I was prevented from using these clips in my project.
The project in question is a college project, so I’m not intending to profit from using the protected [...]
