...called - the band didn't even have a website, and a major television show had heard them online. Two years, one record-label switch and thousands of illegally downloaded songs later, Death Cab for Cutie had a gold album and was regularly name-checked on a prime-time teen drama. Death Cab is just one of the Internet-and-music stories chronicled in Chicago Tribune music critic Greg Kot's book Ripped: How the Wired Generation Revolutionized Music. Kot talks to TIME about the demise of the music industry, whether illegal file-sharing is really that bad and why there...

Although the two men proclaimed a shared commitment to having Israelis and Palestinians live in peace, their views on how to get there remain substantially at odds. Now, as Obama puts the finishing touches on a new peace plan to be unveiled shortly - perhaps when he addresses the Muslim world from Cairo next month - the question facing the Administration is how to pursue its strategy with an unenthusiastic Israeli partner...
