		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s the rub, according to Greek legend, King Tantalus was condemned by the gods for file-sharing. Okay, its a modern version of the old legend. But this part is true. In one version, Tantalus (from whence the English language evolved the mythos related to the word Tantalising), was given an unusual punishment.

It&#8217;s a 24kbps internet drum &#38; bass music station, which, judging by my calculations consumes about 43mb per half-hour.

The idea was the massive savings created by reducing distances and communicating easily across the planet would be passed onto the consumer and everybody would win.
Then along came the robber barons of the service industry, basking [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=davidrobertlewis.wordpress.com&blog=1666585&post=108&subd=davidrobertlewis&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
