Well, it’s finally here. The first ever newspaper dedicated to only blogs. Packed with feature posts and other great writings floating around the blogoshere, TheIssue is here to bring you the latest blogging news as told by bloggers. Below is the press release that became available earlier today.

Launch of TheIssue.com - The First Blog Newspaper

TheIssue.com, the Internet’s first blog newspaper, is proud to announce its launch to the public on August 27th, 2007. TheIssue.com is a first to market online news destination that exclusively features blog articles and other citizen media. Despite the exploding popularity of blogs and their evolution from Internet curiosities into serious media destinations, there is currently no viable “blog only” newspaper replacement. TheIssue.com fills this gap.

Stephen Puschel, cofounder, remarked, “The news helps to define the general perception of the world we live in. I think it’s critical that this perception is not just dominated by large corporations, but that individual voices can have an influence.” Matt Dalio, cofounder, said, “By harnessing the diversity of the blogosphere, we can serve as a window into any perspective, helping our readers develop a three dimensional understanding of every issue we cover.”

TheIssue.com is a new and completely unique breed of digital media provider. Articles are handpicked from a regularly updated database of thousands of high quality blogs in order to provide readers with a breadth of perspective and depth of reporting not currently offered by any existing single news source.

Andrew Puschel, Chief Marketing Officer, stated, “We are incredibly excited to fill what we think is an obvious niche in online news. TheIssue.com is truly unique ...

Formerly known as Blogmusik, Deezer is the hot new music site of the moment. What's great about it? No fees, no registration -- not even a free username and password -- and instant, one-click access to songs that are playable from a Web browser, including playlists. No Rhapsody player here.

The site was created in France in June 2006 by Daniel Marhely and Jonathan Benassaya. Is it legal? That's where it gets a tad murky.

According to the site, Deezer has received permission from SACEM, the French version of the RIAA. That theoretically means that French listeners might have legal access to listen to the music. But Vivendi has condemned the new site as one offering illegally copied versions of its own music, among others. As "dacem," a Deezer.com admin notes: "SACEM is one thing, but disc majors are another one."

Deezer.com is already in talks with major music labels and the SPPF3, and will soon be announcing that new agreements have been reached, the site's admins say.

Should you use it? I don't see why not. The company says that it's using advertising revenues to compensate the artists. Deezer isn't hiding, nor is it obfuscating what it does. If it's ruled illegal, the lawyers will shut it down. Supposedly there's a hack to actually download the music, however -- this, however, I definitely wouldn't do.

My guess? In a few days the site will be blocked to all but French IP addresses, while the lawyers sort out whether it's actually legal for French users to access.

I don't have esoteric music tastes, and the site pulled up a pretty comprehensive ...

Still thinking of launching that underground animal fighting ring you've had your heart set on for all of the years? You might want to lay low for a bit. Turns out the much loved pastime of drinking while two defenseless animals tear into each other just doesn't have the same luster it once did, as Michael Vick, and Amazon can both tell you.

The Humane Society has filed a civil lawsuit against the mega e-tailer, for carrying magazines that promote illegal activities such as cockfighting, featuring ads for products like blades that attach to roosters' legs. As Download Squad notes, a search on the site for cockfighting yields not only a handful of publications on the topic, but also dogfighting resources. Good to know I can pick up such info on the same site I used to buy the latest Haruki Murakami book.

Says a representative from on of the magazine in question: ""The bottom line is as long as its legal someplace, you're not advertising an illegal activity."

Universally illegal or not, it's certainly worth ruffling a few legal feathers.
