This is exactly why we're planning a music box booth for the upcoming 
Linux-Info-Tag. People are allowed to "refuel" their Ogg folders via USB 
sticks and network access (streaming and HTTP downloads) at one booth. The 
hard part will be the writing, so that it kind of sounds like provocative 
while it remains legal (keeping playlists etc). (*)
There's already more free music out there than we can play during the day so 
that's certainly a good sign of progress.

There will also be movable walls by the wikipedia folks and other 
informational posters referring to non-software freedom. I think this is an 
important aspect of such events, and KDE applications should promote free 
data and free services.

(*) In an ideal world, GEMA would have to prove that we're using non-free 
music. But in the real world, one must be prepared for the opposite.
