NYCINFOLAW EVENTS

    [NYCINFOLAW] READING GROUP: A CLOUDY FUTURE FOR ITUNES?
    FEBRUARY 16, 2010 @ 7PM
    ROOM 424, CARDOZO LAW SCHOOL, 55 FIFTH AVE. (AT 12TH ST.)
    A Cloudy Future for iTunes? What Apple’s acquisition of Lala.com might
    mean for cloud-based computing. Recently Apple purchased Lala.com – the
    cloud-centric music download, stream, and preview site. Some
    cynics believe they are ridding the market of a competitor, but
    insiders say the company is making a play at putting their Itunes music
    store at the forefront of cloud-based computing. A lot has happened in the
    last ten years since MP3.com was sunk by the RIAA for attempting such
    an approach. While people have been contemplating the Celestial Jukebox
    for quite a while, with Apple entering the picture, the future may have
    just gotten cloudy. Food will be served. RSVP to cardozoIPLS at gmail.com.
    RSVP not required to attend. All are welcome.
