Filed under: Blogs/Web

The Star Tribune carries a story recommending Muxtape today, a day after the site got shut down over copyright concerns.

The print edition makes no mention of the shutdown, which occured as the newspaper was going to press, saying "the site is still going strong six months after its launch." That sentence now been changed on the web version of the story:

There have been questions over the legality of Muxtape in the six months since it launched, and, in fact, the site shut down Monday night, saying, "Muxtape will be unavailable for a brief period while we sort out a problem with the RIAA."

There are two ways a print journalist could react to reading the Trib's mention of Muxtape in the paper today a) feel their pain or b) point and laugh.
