freedb.org closes down

Apparently the two main developers behind it quit, leaving the main guy no choice but to shut it down. Sad. Our software uses freedb servers, so we're now going to have to change that. :(

There's going to be a lot of similar stories over the next few years IMO.

Ya, I heard that the USPTO is closing down because of the crazy patents they are allowing to go through. (a joke it be)

Of course it's politics as usual.
