Open Source Music Makes Tons Of Money

This past week, the band
Nine Inch Nails
released a new studio album consisting of 36 tracks on the internet. He uploaded a torrent of the album to The Pirate Bay as well as other torrent sites, all completely free.
And not just free as in 'free beer', but free as in 'free speech'. All 36 tracks are liscensed under Creative Commons, the equivalent of open source for media. All of the tracks can be remixed, modified, or embedded in other media (like videos) all for free, all legally.
Only 2,500 copies of the $300 edition were made, and they sold out within a few days.

| Configuring local storage in Linux with Stratis
Configuring local storage is something desktop Linux users do very infrequently—maybe only once, during installation. Linux storage tech moves slowly, and many storage tools used 20 years ago are still used regularly today. But some things have improved since then. Why aren't people taking advantage of these new capabilities?
This article is about Stratis, a new project that aims to bring storage advances to all Linux users, from the simple laptop single SSD to a hundred-disk array. Linux has the capabilities, but its lack of an easy-to-use solution has hindered widespread adoption. Stratis's goal is to make Linux's advanced storage features accessible.
