When it comes to the subject of the online piracy of music, there’s no shortage of information available on the Web. Unfortunately, a lot of that information can be categorized as “questionable,” if we’re to be charitable, or “outright misleading crap,” if we’re to be a bit more blunt.

One of the more reliable sources of information and analysis about online piracy (in my opinion, at least) is TheTrichordist, a blog collective headed up by David Lowery of Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven fame.

In addition to being a guy who has made some mighty fine music with his various projects over the years, Lowery is a mathematician, a meticulous thinker, and a fellow who does not mince words.

If you’re reading about the online piracy of music from the perspective of a successful musician and entrepreneur TheTrichordist should definitely be on your required reading list.
