			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you buy a music CD from Sony, beware: I got astounded after reading <a href="http://it.slashdot.org/it/05/10/31/2016223.shtml?tid=172">this post</a> at Slashdot, in which they say that if you insert a Sony music CD in your Windows OS Computer, a <i>RootKit</i> is automatically installed.</p>
<p>A RootKit is a program which hides itself from your Computer OS and of course, from you. In some ways it&#8217;s very similar to a trojan and, once installed, it becomes really hard to get rid of. In fact, Sony&#8217;s version does not seems to be uninstallable (you can ask for its removal at Sony web, though).</p>
<p>Mark Russinovich <a href="http://www.sysinternals.com/blog/2005/10/sony-rootkits-and-digital-rights.html">revealed it</a> in his web. He&#8217;s a software IT expert programmer and technician and tells how annoying and difficult was to remove the program from his computer while leaving it stable.<br />
<span id="more-28"></span><br />
All this mess is related to <abbr title="Digital Right Management">DRM</abbr>. Basically, you can&#8217;t play your CD in your computer without having installed the bundled software first. Even worse, it blocks your CD unit and also some recording programs, limiting the number of copies to 3. Other CD recording programs, such as Nero, have been reported to stop working, and sometimes the logical CD volume has <i>disappeared</i> from the computer.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a bit concerned, because other manufacturers could start releasing their own DRM limiting software, and it could be incompatible with the current one, or even worse, leave your system unstable. Other terrifying possibility is Microsoft to release its own DRM with a, let&#8217;s say, <i>Service Pack 3</i></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.xera.com.es/">Xera</a> is a group from Asturias, Spain, that has brought out some Free Music. In their web you can download the music (in Ogg and MP3 format) which has some Celtic and electronic arrangements. Mi favourite track is <i>Dúrmite</i>, that, if I am not wrong, is a lullaby (You can listen it here, in the player). The group does not has a complete album yet, but the current work done looks very promising.</p>
<p>I repeat, the music is <i>Free</i>. You can download it for free, and redistribute and copy it at no cost.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Oímos continuamente que es ilegal bajarse música de internet, que es piratería, etc... Sin embargo hay Música Libre. Música de gente que quiere autopromocionarse y no había podido hacerlo... hasta ahora.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Internet brinda unas posibilidades antes inimaginables. Cualquiera puede contar cuentos, hacer periodismo <em>casero</em>, fotografía, montar su propio museo e incluso publicar su música. </p>
<p>Este poder quedaba antes en manos de las discográficas. Unos señores llamados <i>productores</i> decidían (para eso invertían su dinero) qué música era la que salía al mercado y así probar suerte. <span id="more-11"></span>Desgraciadamente, eso dejaba en la cuneta a muchos músicos talentosos (especialmente aquellos cuya música sólo gusta a las minorías o no coincidían con los gustos del productor). Sin embargo, en esta era, cualquiera puede publicar su música en internet.</p>
<p>La mayoría de esta música, además, tiene distintas <i>licencias</i>. Pero aquí nos centraremos en la llamada <i>Música Libre</i>. Por Música Libre entendemos aquella música que, sin perder su autoría (se le sigue reconociendo la propiedad intelectual al autor), se deja en internet para que la gente la oiga de forma gratuita, la copie y, en algunos casos, incluso la modifique.</p>
<p>Una licencia que permite esto es la <a href="http://www.creativecommons.org">Creative Commons</a>, en cuyo sitio web hay muchísimo material multimedia Libre para poder trabajar con él y crear nuevas obras (trabajos derivados).</p>
<p>La música que puedes oír en mi blog es Música Libre (el reproductor musical está en la <del datetime="2005-09-11T19:51:34+00:00">columna derecha</del> <ins datetime="2005-09-11T19:51:34+00:00">cabecera</ins>), y te puedes bajar la música que está sonando pulsando sobre el reproductor con el botón derecho del ratón.</p>
<p>Pero si quieres más, entonces no te pierdas <a href="http://irate.sourceforge.net">irate</a>, un programa que descarga música libre a toda velocidad y te permite <i>puntuar</i> lo que escuchas. A medida que puntúas las canciones, el programa intercambia esa información con otros usuarios e intenta bajarse canciones similares guiado por tus gustos. Lo curioso es que <i>no puedes elegir</i> lo que te descargas. Lo decide el programa.</p>
<p>Las canciones que oyes fueron descargadas (la mayoría de ellas si no todas) con este programa, y en mi opinión, muchas de ellas superan a la <i>música enlatada</i> de Bisbal, Britney Spears o Shakira que tanto se consume hoy día.</p>
