Behind the music: What if the culture industry shut down for a day?Wikipedia went black in protest against anti-piracy legislation. But which would you miss more: an encyclopaedia or music?It made me wonder what would happen if all the content-creation industries blocked access to all their products for a day to demonstrate what would happenif they couldn't make any money from their work owing to rogue sites.
