Made the PCWorld.ca frontpage!

An article I wrote on teens and the digital music marketplace made the cover of PCWorld.ca! Or at least did so last week. Given the high rate of respondents, I didn’t want to post about it here until at least a week later. From the article:

The lawsuit was eventually dismissed, and eight years later these portable music players have become as ubiquitous as cell phones amongst Canada’s youth. Brands such as the iPod are now household names, and have even spawned a new generation of words such as Podcasting. Still, the MP3 format is facing very uncertain times.

At the core of the issue is the fact that the MP3 revolution was one which the industry did not anticipate, or particularly want. Still, it was evident after the rise of Napster that the industry had to come up with a legitimate means to deal with this popular force.

The article was also slashdotted.
