WASHINGTON -- What do you get when 
you put MP3 activists, disaffected 
musicians, and recording industry 
lobbyists in the same room? Answer: 
expletives, arguments, and plenty of hard 
feelings to go around. 
During a Wednesday panel at the 
Computers, Freedom, and Privacy 
conference, artist Henry Cross 
complained that the recording industry 
was an "Orwellian" organization 
intent on avoiding competition with MP3, 
a popular music compression technology.
