I'd like to thank the Academy...

I'd like to thank the Academy... 04/09/2004 03:54 PM

I'd like to thank everyone who voted for plasticbag.org at the Bloggies, where I've accidentally picked up Best British or Irish weblog. I'm particularly surprised given given the quality of the other candidates: Going Underground's Blog, A Teenager Blogs, Greenfairy.com and The Big Smoker.

More importantly, I'm genuinely delighted to report that I somehow won the Best Essay Bloggie as well for (Weblogs and) The Mass Amateurisation of (Nearly) Everything. If anything I think that one is the more important to me because I spent a long-time writing that piece and thinking around it and I think it's one of the best things I've written. I'd love it if more people read it and responded. So thanks again to everyone involved!

The big winner of the night was Boing Boing, who took home the Best American Weblog, Best Group Weblog and Weblog of the Year. I'm kind of surprised - given Cory's alleged nationality - that they didn't win Best Canadian Weblog too! Lifetime achievement rightly went to Heather Champ, whose creative output online has been astonishing for as long as I can remember. Well done!

Academy Piracy Case Solved

Academy Piracy Case Solved 01/25/2004 10:32 AM

FBI makes arrest in Oscar screener piracy: Kind of a sad story here. A "friend" of an elderly Academy member convinced him to send him the screeners he got every year. The videos were promptly pirated.

Carmine Caridi admitted in an affidavit released Thursday that he sent every so-called "screener" videotape he's received for the past three years to an acquaintance in the Chicago area, Russell W. Sprague.

Sprague, 51, was arrested at his home in Homewood, Ill., on Thursday after a search of his home turned up hundreds of films, many of which had been converted to DVD format and had the Academy's encryption code erased, along with an array of duplicating equipment, authorities said.

One thing we learned is that the Academy's tracing technology works. They tracked this all back to the source via a digital watermark on the movies which indicated who they had been sent to.

Non-Existent Publicist Sends Out Fake
Email To Promote Dead Musician

Non-Existent Publicist Sends Out Fake
Email To Promote Dead Musician 04/26/2004 05:37 PM
John submitted this absolutely bizarre story from Rolling Stone about a mysterious email that went out last week, supposedly from a music industry publicist who was fired. In the email, the publicist talks about how stupid the record company was, pointing to the fact that they actually held a seance to contact a recently dead musician to ask him to try to promote his new album from beyond the grave. As bizarre as that sounds, the true story may be even more bizarre. It turns out that the musician in question had been a royal pain for the record company, always calling and emailing them with requests. The record company made up a history of mental illness to keep him away from the press, while also creating a fake publicist to handle his calls. They gave that non-existent publicist a voicemail and email account, and the musician was apparently satisfied, believing he had a publicist dealing with his requests. Then, a few weeks before the album was due out, the musician really did die (heart attack) and the record label brought back the fake publicist to "quit" in disgust, in the hopes that the discussion over the ridiculousness of the (also non-existent) seance would get the (now non-existent) band more publicity.

Publishers Still Confusing Content And
Services

Publishers Still Confusing Content And
Services 05/13/2004 05:00 PM
Why is it so difficult to understand the difference between content and services? The Online Publishers Association comes out with a study every few months about the "online content" market, and they always get it wrong. We've pointed this out before, but it appears the OPA folks aren't listening or don't care. They highlight the latest study by saying that paid online content has grown 19% - but, once again, the biggest portion of that "content" is dating sites. No one pays for content on a dating site. The content is always free. People pay to connect - which is the service those dating sites offer. Instead of recognizing this, the OPA is encouraging more sites to start doomed plans to charge for "content." Charging for content is increasingly difficult. Charging for services is increasingly easy. Misunderstanding the two is going to lead to many bad business model decisions.
