This collection of "educational" videos demonstrate a bunch of really cool, violent chemical reactions: flaming sodium and chlorine, volatile nitrogen triiodide going bang, and a cast-iron, water-filled bomb that explodes when the water inside of it is frozen with a slush of dry ice and acetone -- and much more.

Dual milestones in copyright experiments

Dual milestones in copyright experiments 12/17/2003 01:28 AM

Two experiments in digital copyright passed significant milestones this week.

Apple 's iTunes enterprise sold its twenty-five millionth song today (Sinatra, “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!”). iTunes supports legal downloading of music for a fee per song.

In another milestone the Creative Commons marked one year of operations. The project seeks to promulgate alternative licenses to federal copyright. Lawrence Lessig's weblog carries an animated survey of the past year's activities , including the recent launch of a series of international Commons and a sampling license .

NY Times looks at future of downloadable
music 12/02/2003 09:59 AM
A new E-Commerce Report penned by Bob Tedeschi in The New York Times looks at the future of downloadable music from the iTunes Music Store and other services. Now that Apple has proven that commercial online music downloads are a viable business, Music at your fingertips, and a battle among the sellers examines some of the trends that experts think are headed our way in the years to come.

The Downloadable Music Business Shuffle

The Downloadable Music Business Shuffle 09/01/2004 01:26 PM
As Microsoft gets ready to lau nch their own music download store, Apple has a carefully timed announcement adding an affiliate program to iTunes, so that individuals and organizations can get a tiny piece of the pie for every paid download they push on people. The end result, of course, will be to make iTunes' already miniscule margins even smaller. This, obviously, is of little concern to Apple, since they still view the iTunes store (properly) as a promotion for selling iPods. Meanwhile, Napster, fresh from sheddin g their core Roxio software business appears to be in complete denial about the marketplace. In an interview, Napster's CEO brushes off all of the competitive questions by pretending the real competition isn't competition, and then pointing out how badly they trash the non-competition. Obviously, Apple's iTunes is their main competition. However, he brushes this aside, pointing out that Apple only does pay-per-download, whereas Napster does pay-per-download and subscriptions. Since iTunes has no subscription offer, apparently, they're nothing. No customer anywhere would ever think of replacing one with the other, apparently. Of course, he seems to be forgetting two things: customers define what the competition is by deciding what products are substitutes, and it's pretty clear they consider iTunes and Napster substitutes. He also seems to completely ignore file sharing systems, which while much of the sharing may be in violation of copyrights, is still competition. So, with those in his blind spot, the competition he does bring up is Wal-Mart and Sony, two companies who everyone knew did a dreadful job creating music download stores. Any time you have your CEO defining away your biggest competition on a technicality and then bragging about how you beat the competition who had already beat themselves, you should be worried.

Plenty Of Legal Downloadable Music Now

Plenty Of Legal Downloadable Music Now 05/27/2004 12:11 PM
For a totally arbitrary, but supposedly "symbolic" milestone, the global music industry is celebrating that there are now over 100 legal music services available. Don't ask what kind of sites make it to the list, that's not the important part. The important part is that now music lovers have more music formats to choose from than ever. Woo hoo! So instead of making it easier for people to download music in a simple, transferable format, we now have a bunch of different formats that we have to track down from over 100 sources. Sounds like progress to me.

eBay Testing Sales Of Downloadable Songs

eBay Testing Sales Of Downloadable Songs 07/14/2004 03:25 PM
Remember last year when someone tried to sell their legally purchased iTunes song on eBay? Based on the right of first sale, it should be perfectly legal, but there were plenty of thorny questions brought up. In fact, they were so thorny that eBay killed the auction. Now, via Engadget, we learn that eBay may be reconsidering. They're testing a program where people will be able to sell their digital downloads under very specific circumstances. Also, while there may be a right of first sale, there isn't a right of second sale: eBay won't let anyone resell a digital download they bought -- so buyer beware.

Lessig's free book still racking in the sales

Stanford Magazine carries a story this month about our chairman and co-founder Lawrence Lessig's book which has just entered its third printing. This is interesting because the book is freely available online for download (under a Creative Commons license), and has been downloaded about 180,000 times. On the one hand an author can give away free content for folks to remake into audio books, translations, and other formats, and the author still gets paid through traditional book sales. Amazing how that works, and works so well sometimes. [via Copyfight]

It will be very difficult to "prove" that the Creative Common license and the freely downloadable aspect of Free Culture improved sales, but the book is selling and making it freely available has clearly not STOPPED sales. I wonder if it is possible to show that making books available for free electronically increases the sale of real books? I wonder if there are particular genres where this holds more true...
