last one is interesting. looks at how cultural tradition is accepted as a justification for discrimination or abuse of women. gives examples of some cultural traditions that are based in historical enforcement of patriarchy in a community by European colonialism and where the tradition doesn't appear to exist anywhere other than as the excuse in court. and that the evidence of a cultural tradition is far more readily accepted where it is patriarchal, than when it isn't. the result is reduced legal support and protection for minority women.

what did you think of it? I found it fascinating. Interesting that he practically ignored actual musicians

I liked it - great holiday read! The bits about piracy were ok but kinda focussed on individuals at the expense of what I guess was an inevitable worldwide movement.
But the wrangling about the invention of the MP3 were amazing. Ditto the main record company guy.
And yes it was cool that musicians were incidental to it all (bar the general ascendancy of hip hop).

it's surprising just how few there actually were, I'm sure I've still got some of the main guys rips, definitely have a few from oink.
