...immoral. “File-sharing” paints a rosy picture of a practice that differs little from swiping discs from a record store. Dance rhetorical circles until you’re breathless, but the principle remains that obtaining a song without the artist’s consent is theft. To those of us with consciences, then, downloading music has an additional moral cost; fortunately, there is a solution in pay-for-play websites like Apple’s iTunes and Buymusic.com...

...narrative presented by President Bush, the U.S. acted decisively while others dithered in the face of danger, and now it is nurturing an exemplary democracy in a region mired in autocracy and economic stasis.

...Hard-liners are trying to "shift the President's position," and portray him as "the leader of the impoverished masses," Pavlovsky says, a move that could be politically disastrous. Putin is not backing the faction, Pavlovsky claims, and the President's silence is a result of "disarray" rather than consent. But by hesitating, he has allowed the situation to deteriorate. Sooner or later, Pavlovsky believes the President will have to intervene, probably by making changes at the top of his Kremlin administration. How did Putin's relationship with Khodorkovsky become so strained? The crisis started early this month when...
