This (from Michael Geist) is the kind of thing I find worrisome: A Canadian website offering public domain music has been shutdown due to a complaint that some of the stuff available there is not public domain everywhere the site can be accessed. If this became the norm, imagine the consequences: speech as free as the least open place on the planet, copyrights as long as the longest on the planet - the list of damage goes on and on. Ultimately, this kind of thing promotes a race to the bottom where the craziest man in the room wins.
