A few weeks ago I was reading Performing Songwriter Magazine, one of my favorite music magazines, when I read a great column by songwriter Janis Ian (a regular contributor) about downloading music from a musician’s point of view. It was a great article, one of the most insightful I’ve yet read about the positive side of music sharing.
Today I noticed that ZDNet had published the same piece under the headline Free downloads play sweet music. Interestingly enough, they don’t mention anywhere in the ZDNet version that the article was originally written for Performing Songwriter.
