The innovative MIT on-campus streaming-music service has been shut down by the RIAA. It appears that the company they purchased their $35,000 of digitized music from has been forced to recant their claim that (for that $35,000) they were providing MIT with a legal license to do what they were doing.
Can we all say, "Record industry strong-arm tactics"? It seems pretty clear that Loudeye thought they had such a license - and perhaps they even did - until the MIT service started making nationwide headlines.
