For those of you who are unfamiliar with the RGT, it is a global membership organization for guitar teachers. But it's not just any old organization -- you may know some of the members: Paul McCartney, Ronnie Wood and David Gilmour.

Music Downloading

from Mercury News


Charles Calderon, a Los Angeles-area lawmaker, is proposing a tax on personal property, which would include internet downloaded music, books and videos. Unfortunately, poor Calderon probably hasn't read the newest research showing that people are not downloading from the internet as much as copying offline. Despite that information, Apple just announced that it has surpassed Wal Mart as the leader in CD sales. We suspect that this tax would be a troubling development for the many musicians today who depend on downloads to get their music out to the public.
