Greg Eveline, an entertainment law attorney, on the coming copyright time bomb set to destroy the music and publishing industries.

So, perhaps that’s a bit hyperbolic, or overly optimistic, depending on your perspective, but it certainly isn’t going to help two of the industries damaged most by the internet.

Good riddance.
