PC Magazine is reporting Yahoo's top searches for 2009. In the midst of the biggest recession since the Great Depression and a widening war in Afghanistan, the top search was . . .Gary native Michael Jackson. He's local, so I let that slide. The vampire book/movie series Twilight came in second. None of the big scary issues of the 2009 made the cut. Yahoo did break out a special recession list. Coupons were the top search. 

Here is a challenge for you: Send us a link to the most ignored important story of 2009. Add your link by commenting on this post on The Do List.

And please, no balloon boy.

What follows affects us all, whether you're a musician or a music lover. Proposals from the RIAA and DiMA will have a devastating effect on the quality and amount of music created in the future as well as allow it's suporters, the record companies, to steal more of artist royalties. Royalties which are currently only 9 cents a song, the RIAA wants to cut to 6 cents for more record label profitability. Think about this the next time you pay $17.99 or more for an album of bland music. AOL, Yahoo and Real Audio Networks are involved also to the extent they support the RIAA and DiMA efforts.
