*On the future of the music business: Subscription is going to win over a la carte pricing. [via hypebot]
*Remember that item from yesterday when the Wu-Tang Clan said they’d been cleared to use a Beatles sample, from “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”? (Which would have been the first time anyone had been allowed to do so.) Not exactly true. Peefork explains (what they’re using is an “interpolation”) and offers a stream of what the Wu has created with said interpolation.
*The execrable and (sorta) local: The RIAA’s case (the first to go to trial in the States) against a Duluth woman accused of filesharing wraps up.
*The New York Times covers Radiohead’s pay-what-you-want program. How? By quoting a Stereogum commenter.
*Fake Steve Jobs is going on a listening tour. [Mashable]
*Stereogum gives its tribute treatment to R.E.M.’s Automatic for the People. WORTH checking out. (Previously: OK Computer tribute.)
