The news this week in online music is that Best Buy is buying Napster and now has anti-trust approval from the FTC to do so, according Yahoo news.
Also, Yahoo News reports that "After approval by the U.S. House and now a nod from the Senate, the Webcaster Settlement Bill is headed to President George W. Bush's desk for his signature. The bipartisan bill will allow copyright owners and artists, on behalf of SoundExchange, to negotiate with Internet radio services. The bill is expected to benefit all Webcasters, including National Public Radio, small Webcasters, and college Webcasters, who put their stations on the Internet." And my favorite, Pandora, who pushed a grass-roots effort to get the bill through Congress.
In other online entertainment news, Netflix adds Starz.
