		<description><![CDATA[Ticketmaster agreed to pay $350,000 to Springsteen fans after redirecting potential ticket buyers to their subsidiary website, TicketsNow, offering tickets at a substantially higher price during a sale for two upcoming concerts in May. Over 2,000 fans filed complaints with the New Jersey Attorney General&#8217;s office following the event, which also prompted a negative response [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday my colleague Heather wrote a blog post about the top searches on YouTube; which are dominated by music-related searches.

As you can see from the following chart, the share of US Internet searches for &#8220;free music downloads&#8221; and &#8220;itunes&#8221; follow a similar pattern.
