Lawyers, songs and money

I have a web-only column running today on three developments last week in the world of online music services -- a court ruling for Yahoo in its long-running battle with BMG over personalized webcasts; a new bill to cut webcasting royalty rates; and a court ruling for Yahoo, RealNetworks and AOL in their fight with ASCAP over "double dip" royalties. Warning: much of the ground covered will be familiar to regular Bit Player readers, so the three of you might want to read just the section about the Yahoo-BMG fight.
