We're trying to prevent failed sharing.

Joi Ito (investor in our startup, Timothy Leary's godson, Cornelius' cousin, now CEO of Creative Commons) at the Red Lion in Hoxton last night.

Cristian Vogel, of super_collider fame, has just put his entire new record on Last.fm, straight from the mixing desk - unmastered. So go check out the Night of the Brain previews. Great to see established artists utilising the network in a way that shortcuts the traditional publishing process and gets music direct to the listeners. Nice one Cristian.
