So when did it all go wrong?  I had no trouble on Saturday.  On Monday,
I got a "not in database" response, but it was for a new and fairly
obscure CD.

I see nothing on www.freedb.org about the service ceasing to work, just
a lot of blahblahblah about the service continuing to be freely
available.  

The URL that my copy of EAC was using was
http://freedb.freedb.org:80/~cddb/cddb.cgi; I'd never tried to change
it (or choose a mirror) until today.  I wonder if the service is still
available, but under a different URL?  However, this matches the "how
to access" instructions.

Hopefully it's just a temporary screwup, rather than a permanent
shutdown.  I guess it got me to notice the takeover, but it's hardly
good advertising.

I don't suppose there are any (free) alternatives? I have an
uncomfortable disintegrating-egg-basket feeling...
