In my education experience, the earlier grades ( 1-8 ) were focused on memorization and learning.
High School (9-12) were primarily that too. But high school did have a handful of open book tests where the focus was on implementation and interpretation of ideas / formula's / facts; not memorization of them.
College classes; at least in my major; were mainly open book style tests. Projects were almost always done as groups--whether the teacher new it or not.
I've always said I had a better education than a lot of people in my field, I wonder if the collaboration study groups were the reason.
Does the mainstream press make the news? In many cases, I believe they do.
If you look at shows such as Good Morning America or the Today show, half of the topics covered are thinly veiled product advertisements.
How do you save money? Buy "X" product from home depot to help heat / cool your home. What summer toys are good for the beach? Buy "Y" product from Toys R US
On the surface this sounds good, but I feel I don't have enough information to properly judge how good it is.
What if these label contracts have a lot of the same 'bad' terms used in traditional label contracts? What if the label uses the same smoke and mirrors to mask income and inflate expenses?
Is the band still obligated to reimburse the label for the recording of the album and the promotion of the band / record? Is each album cross-collateralized?
50% of the profits, when you have a loss is no better than 10%-15% of the profits when you have a loss.
After reading the article [thanks to the person who posted the text]; I want to modify my above comment.
The Maxx is [or used to be] a community center style venue. They used to get a lot of unknown / indy bands. I've actually been to a few shows there but not for many many years. Every show had a cover charge to get through the door. Remember that non-profit does not mean no cash flow. But, I wonder how many of their performers play songs they don't have the full rights to?
That said, I suspect the societies are still probably in their legal right to go after this money.
I have no idea who to route for here. Obviously music being played in the town green is public performance. I tend to think the performance societies are probably within their legal right to fight this one.

Less Lobbiests? (as reboog711)
Perhaps there were just less lobbyists spreading propoganda? And Politicians had to read bills they were about to pass and consider the implications?
That seems very different than today
Winamp (as reboog711)
I just reinstalled Winamp for entirely separate reasons.
I was thinking of switching back to it full time. However, it appears to be windows only based on the system requirements
