		<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://napsterdiscuss.weblogs.com/discuss/msgReader$126&quot;>Keola Donaghy found&lt;/a> an interesting &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.billboard.com/poll/poll.asp&quot;>poll&lt;/a> at Billboard. When asked if they were willing to pay for downloaded music from Sony and EMI, 65.3 percent said &quot;No, because you can find most of this music elsewhere online for free.&quot;"/>
		<outline text="Thanks to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tomalak.org/&quot;>Lawrence Lee&lt;/a> for pointing to this excellent Clay Shirky &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.feedmag.com/daily/dy041300_master.html&quot;>analysis&lt;/a> of Napster and the RIAA from April of this year. &quot;The RIAA-Napster suit feels like nothing so much as the fight over the national speed limit in the seventies and eighties. The people arguing in favor of keeping the 55-MPH limit had almost everything on their side -- facts and figures, commonsense concerns about safety and fuel efficiency, even the force of federal law. The only thing they lacked was the willingness of the people to go along.&quot;"/>
		<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://discuss.outliners.com/msgReader$672&quot;>Dave Rogers found&lt;/a> a Doug Engelbart article from 1966 where he described an outliner. It was a bit more crude than the one we implemented in 1980, but fourteen years is a long time."/>
		<outline text="Today's Radio UserLand &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scripting.com/images/radioUserLandWithGraphicNot.gif&quot;>screen shot&lt;/a> shows new symbology (is that a word?) for headlines that link to music on the local file system. The note symbol is a double-entendre, designed in the mid 90s for Clay Basket, where the note symbol indicated that there was a word processing &quot;note&quot; attached. "/>
		<outline text="One thing's for sure, the backend of Radio UserLand, which hasn't yet shipped, is wide open. Here's the &lt;a href=&quot;http://radiodiscuss.userland.com/backend&quot;>first draft of the spec&lt;/a>. There are two XML formats, and an XML-RPC call to register with the aggregator. "/>

As a graphics-impaired developer I sure appreciate his generosity. The Radio UserLand icon comes from the Zeldman &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zeldman.com/icon.html&quot;>collection&lt;/a>. We chose the same icon that represents Scripting News. A strong authoritative male image, artistically rendered. Consistent with my own self-image! &quot;;->&quot;"/>
		<outline text="A loop-close and flip-flop. In May 1999, I wrote a piece called &lt;a href=&quot;http://davenet.userland.com/1999/05/24/editThisPage&quot;>Edit This Page&lt;/a>, which talked about Manila and what was then called Corazon, which became Pike and is now Radio UserLand. In that piece I said &quot;Meet your new file menu,&quot; postulating that an Internet-aware writing tool would need a different File menu. Well, I changed my mind. Radio UserLand has a &lt;a href=&quot;http://static.userland.com/images/radiodiscuss/radioFileMenu.gif&quot;>standard File menu&lt;/a>. It still works with Manila as Pike did, without having to change the File menu. Sometimes it pays to change your mind, instead of changing a standard."/>

		<outline text="Andrew Wooldridge, who works on Mozilla, is &lt;a href=&quot;http://discuss.userland.com/msgReader$19184&quot;>doing an outliner&lt;/a> for that scripting environment. (That's how I think of Mozilla.) I like it because it reads and writes the same files that Radio UserLand does. (Poetry in motion!)"/>
		<outline text="Phil Suh and Cameron Barrett started a content management &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.camworld.com/cms/&quot;>mail list&lt;/a>, which I joined. Phil also started a content management &lt;a href=&quot;http://cms.filsa.net/&quot;>weblog&lt;/a>."/>
		<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sfgate.com/technology/cultural/&quot;>SF Chronicle&lt;/a>: &quot;Rodney O'Neal Austin, a statuesque gender blending artist included in the exhibition, greeted me with an air kiss and handed me an envelope. 'It arrived today,' he said with a melodramatic flourish. Not surprisingly, it was a letter from his landlord announcing the house he'd lived in for many years was up for sale.&quot;"/>

		<outline text="There's talk about boycotting the music industry, personally I think that rather than a boycott, it would be more appropriate to swamp them with money, in a public way. That would destroy the idea that the net is filled with pirates. There's a lot of buying power here. I don't think the Napster folks can ask people to do this, but I can. Shall we all meet at Tower Records on Saturday at 3PM, coast to coast, with our Visa cards out? (Maybe we should deliver the cash in trash bags?)"/>
		<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://surveys.userland.com/surveys/results/dave@userland.com/shutDownNapster&quot;>Yesterday's survey&lt;/a> heavily favored Napster. Only 9 percent said they would shut down Napster if they were the judge, a whopping 84 percent said &quot;Keep it up.&quot;"/>
		<outline text="I'm getting lots of mail from people, some artists, about yesterday's DaveNet &lt;a href=&quot;http://davenet.userland.com/2000/07/26/theThrillIsGone&quot;>piece&lt;/a>. I'm asking them all to post their thoughts on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://napsterdiscuss.weblogs.com/discuss/&quot;>discussion group&lt;/a> on the Napster Weblog. Some people are venting, that's OK, but it's not OK to put words in my mouth, things I didn't say and don't believe. Listen first, please, it's a waste of time to argue with things I don't believe."/>
