Music Labels Focus On Ringtones
Music Labels Focus On Ringtones
08/18/2004 05:22 AMIt appears that the music labels, rather than actually looking to
figure out how they're going to deal with this digital music issue,
are, instead, simply walking naively into the next mess. Since they
haven't quite figured out really how to make downloadable music work
yet (though, they keep hoping they have) they're turning to the new
revenue source they never expected: ringtones. They've suddenly
noticed that kids are paying $2.50 for a fragment of a song they won't
pay a $1 to download completely, which leads to things like
Warner
Brothers actually advertising ringtones rather than the
regular music itself. WB is now specifically advertising ringtones
from the next Green Day album, including the lovely one with a member
of the band saying: "It's your mother. I know. She's with me." It's
no surprise that the labels are focusing on this market, given the
basic economics, but they seem to be doing so under the assumption
that they won't face the same problem they faced with file sharing.
In fact, with the release of things like Xingtone, the labels are
going to have
increasing
difficulty holding onto this market. But rather than figuring out
ways to deal with it, they're just jumping on a bandwagon while it's
hot. It's a short term strategy from the ultimate short-term
thinkers.

Shifting From File Sharing To Stream
Ripping?
Shifting From File Sharing To Stream
Ripping?
04/21/2004 03:53 PMMusicLover writes
"As users continue to try fending off the ever more litigious music
industry,
some seem to have dropped P2P entirely, moving to Ripping instead.
While
they loose some control over what they are downloading, it's a
untraceable way
to download music (no way for the RIAA to track users or sue). With
some
of the more powerful software that's been coming out recently, stream ripping has become more
main-stream. Some of the more well known software packages, like
StationRipper, allow users
to
download several thousand songs on a daily basis. And, depending on
how
you read the law, it's 100% legal. How will the RIAA respond? As
more users move to this type of technology to avoid the P2P lawsuits,
how will
the music industry respond?" Well, some of the comments are a bit
misleading. It's not clear just how mainstream this technology really
is, and it's certainly not nearly as user friendly for users as basic
file sharing applications. The idea is that it records songs directly
from streaming radio stations (though, right now, it looks like only
certain kinds of streaming radio stations work with the software).
Also, copying a song off the radio (which is this basically equivalent
to) often involves a lower quality offering with songs cutting into
each other, DJs talking over the music and other radio-related reasons
why it's not the same as getting a full track.

Just How Offensive Are Ringtones?
03/24/2005 05:19 AMThere are plenty of people who find ringtones to be somewhat offensive
-- but mainly in the annoying sense. However, it appears that some
political group in India has found
ringtone
s of the Indian national anthem so offensive, that they're calling
for it to be banned. Certainly seems a bit extreme. You have to
imagine that anyone who has the national anthem (even in ringtone
form) on their phone is probably pretty patriotic in the first place.
Rosanne (Barr) should be thankful she didn't sing the Indian national
anthem at some point. Imagine what they'd do to her?

File Sharing Goes Mobile
File Sharing Goes Mobile
09/08/2004 02:29 PMWith all these different music download stores and file sharing apps,
it was only a matter of time before everything started to go mobile.
I recently wrote up an article at TheFeature about
all the
various music download offerings for mobile phones, but it looks
like some are already going beyond that to offer some form of "file
sharing" as well. EMI has
talked about
mobile file sharing in the past, but it seemed pretty watered
down. Recently, Wippit, makers of an increasingly popular DRM
technology that encourages limited file sharing announced plans to
offer
mobile file sharing by letting users get around many wireless
carriers by sending the file in response to an SMS message. The
latest, though, is that SK Telecom is showing off a
mobile file sharing system in Korea that will
let users swap music files, ringtones, videos and more via their 3G
network. They admit that it has no copy protection at all, and even
say, "we're not thinking about that type of problem." It's not clear
if that's because they never plan to actually launch it, or they just
don't care. Given that the recording industry in Korea wanted to
sue wireless
carriers for offering MP3 playing phones (even after they agreed
to forcibly degrade the sound quality), you have to wonder how long
such an application would remain on the market. Still, it's been said
many times before: it's only a matter of time until a real
Napster-style file sharing app is written for mobile phones, whether
by the carriers themselves or (more likely) independently. And still,
everyone in the wireless and music industry seems to ignore this
potential problem and insist that overpriced ringtone revenue will be
around forever.

file sharing = piracy? Not really.
01/16/2004 11:27 AMAn interesting Salon article: Is the war on file sharing
over?:
If one is willing to believe the happy talk
from music business executives, the tide has finally turned against
file sharing, thanks to the get-tough tactics employed by the
Recording Industry Association of America.
Last fall, the RIAA began filing lawsuits against individual users
of peer-to-peer trading sites, and the strategy, the RIAA says now,
has paid off. The group is careful not to declare a final victory over
file trading, but things are finally beginning to look up for a
business long in decline, say industry representatives. After years of
scoffing at copyright laws, Americans are finally beginning to
understand the gravity of file trading's offense against copyright.
The article is interesting. But what I find most
interesting is this automatic alignment that is made in the media
discourse between file sharing and piracy. There are many, many uses
other than those the RIAA defines as illegitimate for file sharing
(note, I am not saying
anonymous file sharing, although there
worthy uses for that too). Sure, the media loves a good fight and
that's why the focus on this comparison. But the uses of sharing
should, can, and
will move beyond those in dispute. And not
just for files, either.
Why am I saying this? Well, can't you guess?
Stay tuned. :-)

The File Sharing Experiment
The File Sharing Experiment
08/05/2004 12:38 PMThe File
Sharing Experiment is a project with the goal of demonstrating how
file sharing actually helps the music, movie, and software industry.
Folks are encouraged to post purchases they've made and a short
explanation of how they learned about the band/movie/game and why they
ended up buying something for it. All the evidence is anectdotal, but
when taken together, it's already over a quarter million dollars in
reported sales and the site has been up for one week.
Personally, this was the point I tried to make in the heyday of
Napster. You could find anything on Napster, but rarely could you find
complete albums, so the service had the effect of promoting CD sales.
I would often surf others' music lists whenever I noticed things I
liked, download the things I hadn't ever heard of, then I'd end up
buying CDs from Amazon.

File-sharing Goes Social
File-sharing Goes Social
01/07/2004 02:52 PM
The RIAA has taken us on a tour of networking strategies in the last
few years, by constantly changing the environment file-sharing systems
operate in. In hostile environments, organisms often adapt to become
less energetic but harder to kill, and so it is now. With the RIAA's
waves of legal attacks driving experimentation with decentralized
file-sharing tools, file-sharing networks have progressively traded
efficiency for resistance to legal attack.
The RIAA has slowly altered the environment so that relatively
efficient systems like Napster were killed, opening up a niche for
more decentralized systems like Gnutella and Kazaa. With their current
campaign against Kazaa in full swing, we are about to see another
shift in network design, one that will have file sharers adopting
tools originally designed for secure collaboration in a corporate
setting. - More at

File Sharing Against Censorship
04/09/2004 04:04 PMIn the early days of the web, there was lots of talk about how it
would help usher in democracy and bring down dictatorships, because
information could not be contained. Turned out that wasn't exactly
true, as places like China do a pretty good job (though, certainly not
perfect) containing information online. So now, more people are
starting to
look at ways
to use file sharing as a news delivery system that is much more
difficult to block than typical file sharing. This isn't all that
new, but making such programs easier to use would go a long way
towards getting this to work. In fact, why not combine the concept
with a news aggregator of some kind, so that the news you're reading
is automatically available to everyone else using the software.
The Ups And Downs Of File Sharing
The Ups And Downs Of File Sharing
04/26/2004 11:53 AMThe latest Pew study says that
14% of American
internet users claim they've stopped downloading music, but that
the number of people downloading has been steadily growing again over
the last few months. The study has a few problems, however. First,
it's all based on asking people about their activities, and
considering the publicity campaign, it's easy to imagine a heavy file
sharer saying they don't download any music because they don't want to
risk opening themselves up to a lawsuit. Furthermore, the study does
not appear to distinguish between what kind of music is being
"downloaded." They seem to lump together downloading unauthorized
files, using paid download stores like iTunes, or even legitimate
downloads directly from a musician's own website.

File-sharing app eDonkey comes to Mac OS
X
06/29/2004 01:58 PMeDonkey announced on Tuesday
that its peer-to-peer file-sharing software is coming to Mac OS X.
Previously, Mac support was available only through a text-based
command line interface in the software. eDonkey links every client on
the network with each other, allowing them to search within both the
entire network and a subset of it. Users can also download files from
multiple users simultaneously and automatically continue interrupted
downloads during their next session, in addition to the ability to
send private messages to other users. The eDonkey application is not
finalized for Mac OS X yet, but you can download a Beta of either the
free or paid version from the developer's Web site. Both require Mac
OS X v10.2 or higher and 64MB RAM; the free version has limited
features and displays ads when you use it.
