p2p news / p2pnet: The Internet Archive will, after all, be allowed to offer music from the Grateful Dead online.

John Perry Barlow, the Dead’s lyricist, was among those who hit the roof when Archive.org was ordered to take down more than 1,000 Grateful Dead soundboard recordings.

But, "Band spokesman Dennis McNally said the group was swayed by the backlash from fans and, "the band consented to making audience recordings available for download again, although live recordings made directly from concert soundboards, which are the legal property of the Grateful Dead, should only be made available for listening from now on," says the Washington Post.

An Associated Press caption under a pic of Jerry Garcia says a nonprofit group hopes to raise more than $100,000 by selling home appliances that once belonged to in an online auction.

"The items, which also include toilets, cupboards and a dishwasher, will be available for bidding on the online auction site eBay from Dec. 18 through Dec. 24, 2005," says the AP item.
