From an e-mail sent to friends:

Even though this is a mass e-mail, each and every one of you should listen to this description of a six second clip of music, how it’s impacted music, and what it represents in cultural reproduction and copyright conditions. I guarantee you will enjoy it and learn a lot from it, including basics of post-1980 music, the foundation to most of the music I enjoy, and the current battles regarding copyright reform.

You’ll need a computer, broadband Internet access, and the time to let it fully download and then listen to it. There’s no need to watch the accompanying video, so just have your speakers turned on and listen away.

Also, I should thank DS for bringing this to my attention.
