\>>> **TVT SVP of Promo Brad Davidson** and Northeast promotion man **Dan Pearson** will head out on a **50 state journey to break the band New Years Day. Billing it as the “I Was Right Tour,”** the duo will kick things off in Maine and finish up in Florida. ([FMQB](http://www.fmqb.com/article.asp?id=480811&ref=hypebot.com)) *Reminds me of the George Thorogood 50 States In 50 Days tour that broke the band. OK, so I just dated myself.*

\>>> **German copyright law** has been updated to make **copying** a CD or DVD **even for personal use illegal.** ([Variety](http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117972434.html?categoryid=1009&cs=1&ref=hypebot.com)) *Won’t this move just encourage P2P use and drive song*

\>>> **Richie Ramone is suing Apple**, WalMart & Real demanding payment. ([PC World](http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20070921/tc%5Fpcworld/137492?ref=hypebot.com)) *Join the club Richie. Why not just wait to see how The Allman Brothers and Prince do?*

\>>> **Does album art have relevance in the digital age?** ([Billboard](http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070922/wr%5Fnm/art%5Fdc?ref=hypebot.com)) *We hope so…but we fear not.*
