– **Prince** is extending his brand to **Las Vegas** with the opening of **3121 Jazz Cuisine** (named after his latest album) **inside The Rio** where he will **perform every Friday and Saturday** for an indefinite period. ([Reuters](http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061102/music%5Fnm/leisure%5Fprince%5Fdc%5F3?ref=hypebot.com))

– A **Spanish judge** has **dismissed the case** against a man who **downloaded and shared** music on the Internet, saying there was "**no talk of money** or any other compensation beyond the sharing of material available among various users".

– The **Zune juggernaut rolls on** prior to the Nov 14 debut yesterday’s **launch of** [**Zune.net**](http://www.zune.net/en-US/social/?ref=hypebot.com) and related **community site** [**Zune-Arts**](https://www.zune-arts.net/?ref=hypebot.com).

–[**PRLady**](http://www.publicitylady.com/index.html?ref=hypebot.com) offers email ($50) and phone consultations ($200)for **indie musicians looking for advice on publicity.** On the one hand we’re skeptical; on the other hand knowledge is power.

– [**Soundation**](http://www.soundation.com/?ref=hypebot.com) is another startup in the increasingly crowded field of helping **acts sell downloads** across the net **without the middlemen**. This one carries a set-up fee but after that they only grab 10 cents a track. ([press release](http://billboard.prweb.com/releases/2006/11/prweb468911.htm?ref=hypebot.com))

– "**New relationships between music companies, advertisers and file-sharing networks are signaling a major change**…Instead of trying in vain to stop a trend that has spread like wildfire, record giants have finally figured out that when it comes to music piracy, **if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.**" ([Ottawa Citizen](http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/arts/story.html?id=7af6c24f-e354-4f82-bf58-19b2ff96c107&ref=hypebot.com))
