Music licensing and American Idol

Music licensing and American Idol 05/26/2004 03:25 PM

The New York Times published an article about how the music industry influences song choice on American Idol today. I've long suspected that contestant song choice was limited to what the show could afford to pay in licensing costs ahead of time, since the choices of songs to cover seem limited. A producer of the show is quoted heavily stating that many songs are off-limits due to audience preferences and style, but does let slip that any songs by Michael Jackson, The Beatles, and Shania Twain are completely off-limits to the show. That's disappointing, since MJ and the Beatles are cultural icons, both selling one of the top ten music albums of all time.

Historically, there's always been some legal leeway to allow for cover songs, though as this musician found out, the process can be a lengthy one to get the rights to everything you want to record.

MP3.com Execs To Continue Licensing
Music 01/06/2004 02:34 PM
While Vivendi Universal sold off the MP3.com domain name to CNET, they didn't sell much else of the business. Now, some former MP3.com execs have picked up some of the other MP3.com assets to continue an offering that was started in 2002 to license music online for use in places like offices and retail environments. It lets subscribers put in their own advertisements or announcements as well. So, the next time you're walking through the department store listening to the muzak that's playing, realize it may be coming from MP3s. Of course, now that MP3.com destroyed their database of songs, I wonder what music they're licensing out. The article claims the company also bought the licenses to a number of songs, but it sounds like they'll have to create a brand new database to use them. They also say they're going to sign deals with major labels to offer their music as well.

Self-replicating Von Neumann Probes

Self-replicating Von Neumann Probes 04/26/2004 05:26 PM
Universe Today has posted an interview with Dr. Michio Kaku in which he talks about the types of civilizations that might exist in the Universe and rates them as Type I, II, or III (Earth almost qualifies as Type I but is not advanced enough yet; Star Trek's Federation rates as Type II and the Borg as Type III). He also talks a bit about Von Neumann probes; self-replicating, autonomous robots that would be the most practical way to explore intersteller space. The probes would "live off the land", finding planets with raw materials, setting up robot factories, and sending out more probes as they progressed. The virus-like replication would allow the entire galaxy to be explored in as little as 100,000 years.
