The Null Device

More press on the Universal takeover of MP3.com. WIRED says that MP3.com will continue operating as "an independent website". Mind you, the article also statest that Universal will fold independent-label MP3 seller emusic.com into its FarmClub.com venture. A look at the FarmClub website's terms of service reveals that artists' submitted tracks become the property of FarmClub, much like Recording Racket standard practice. Meanwhile, MP3.com's damage-control flacks have been putting out fires with a FAQ designed to allay fears; however, the mood in MP3.com's forums is one of gloom.
