Audible Hits the Black

"The latest issue of Publishers Weekly reports that digital spoken word e-tailer Audible Inc. has recorded its first profitable quarter. Their revenue increased by 68% for the first quarter of 2004. Librarians pay attention! We need to be thinking of ways to provide our users with downloadable spoken word audio. The market indicates that this will be more popular than the failed attempts to garner interest in e-books." [LISNews.com]

This is GREAT news because Audible is a library-friendly company. Proof: we just closed the second enrollment period for ListenIllinois, our collaborative Audible group purchase with the ListenOhio folks, and we added eight more libraries (which gives us a total of 20)! So a formal welcome to the following:

Edwardsville Public Library
Glen Ellyn Public Library
Harvard Diggins Library
Highland Community College Library
North Suburban Library District
Morton College Library
Roxana Public Library District
Wilmington Public Library District

In addition, several of the existing participants are adding players and licenses, so I'm officially declaring this project a success. :-)  Hopefully I can spend some time this summer gathering statistics to back up this claim.

We'll open enrollment again in September, so Illinois libraries should plan their budgets accordingly. Contact me for details if you're interested!

Is Audible Magic Vaporware?

Is Audible Magic Vaporware? 06/02/2004 06:24 PM
The RIAA has been doing its best to talk up the wonders of Audible Magic's system for filtering out copyrighted files from file sharing networks, but some are beginning to wonder if it's all just vaporware. They've been talking about this silver bullet solution and have apparently been showing demos to politicians (not known for having the most critical eyes when seeing demos), but have yet to show anything publicly. Recently, RIAA chief Mitch Bainwol stated he "would be delighted" to show the technology to the various file sharing network companies. So, the file sharing companies took him up on the offer, and sent him a note saying that, sure, they'd like to see the technology. Bainwol has suddenly gone quiet and doesn't seem quite so interested in having them actually see it. It seems unlikely that the product is really vaporware - but it also seems quite unlikely that it really works all that well. Even if it does work, I imagine that it will take less than a day for people to figure out workarounds.

Tivo Sucks Like Audible.com

Tivo Sucks Like Audible.com 04/22/2004 01:29 PM
A while back I ranted about Audible.com making account cancellation difficult. Well, our friends over at Tivo are no better. After browsing around their "customer service" site it became apparent that they were more than willing to take more of my money on-line, but heaven forbid they let me cancel service. Instead I found a page that explains that I must call Tivo to arrange for that. Nowhere on the page do they provide justification for this inconvenience, of course....

BitTorrent of Hearings on the INDUCE Act

BitTorrent of Hearings on the INDUCE Act 07/29/2004 05:18 PM

Lawrence Lessig

no potential for a substantial noninfringing use?

Here 's a BitTorrent file that will get you, p2p, the video of the Hearings on the INDUCE Act, prepared by Tom Barger. Watch, and blog the substantial noninfringing use.

BitTorrent is one of the most efficient p2p systems and is great for distributing movies and other large files. The Induce act is trying to make illegal basic technologies such as p2p which "could induce" people to break copyright.

With more powerful cameras and PCs, video and Flash have become important mediums for free speech. They are increasingly being used for political action. The integration of blogs and p2p technology for sharing these videos like the BitTorrent link above from Lessig are a good example. I believe this is substantial non-infringing use.

Peter was watching the hearings for Orrin Hatch's crackpot, iPod-criminalizing Induce Act, when he noticed an edit in the recording. What did Hatch and the Register of Copyrights say to one another during the gap?

Orrin Hatch (OH) : "During the august recess, I would like your office if they can to assist this committee in the efforts to identify and resolve potential concerns about potential abuses of international and domestic and intentional inducement liability. Could we count on your to help us with that?"

Marybeth Peters (MP) : "Absolutely, I just identified this as the most important question in copyright today. We would be more then happy to assist the comitte in facilitating, umm, and bringing about a hopefully a result that could work"

OH : "Yeah i'd heard that so I was just making sure that you..."

(Edit Start)

MP : "We would never say no to you"

(Edit End)

OH : "We'll that is an interesting comment"
