Music industry smears file-sharing
research 04/14/2004 09:06 AM
Koleman Strumpf, the co-author of the first-ever empirical study on the impact of file-sharing on record sales, has found himself on the receiving end of a withering attack from the music industry who argue that their bought-and-paid-for, non-empirical "research" trumps his analysis, attacking his conclusions.

Two years ago, Strumpf and Oberholzer-Gee set out to research the matter. Strumpf's interest was piqued by the Napster trial, where the recording industry alleged copyright violations that led to the demise of the pioneering Web site in 2001. In the testimony, experts argued that music downloads had to be the cause of slumping sales.

Strumpf read the studies they cited. They were horrible, he said.

"I was like, 'Boy, this is pretty amazing,' " said Strumpf, a Philadelphia native. "Nobody has done a serious study."

Music Industry Exec Defends Some File
Sharing 01/23/2004 07:37 PM
Coming just as the head of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) is claiming that the recording industry needs a "zero tolerance" attitude on file sharing, a 30-year veteran of the music industry is opening his mind to the possibilities and admitting that file sharing appears to have some benefits to the industry. Andy Taylor, who heads the Sanctuary Group, a company that seems to do a variety of things in the music industry including representing various artists and record labels, was quoted saying: "Sharing music is not necessarily a bad thing." He points out that it's a good way for people to investigate what's out there, figure out what they like, and then go and buy it. "They (teenagers) don't have the money, so they will only spend what money they have on something they really, really care about." Fairly stunning to hear this from a recording industry exec. However, he doesn't seem to fully get it. He still complains about "those who have no intention ever of spending money on music," saying that they're the real pirates. They're not, though. If they have no intention of ever spending any money on music than they're certainly not taking away any money from the industry. The industry wouldn't have gotten it either way. In fact, by letting those people listen to music, it's possible that the industry can change those listeners' minds. In listening to the free music, those who had no intention of spending may find certain musicians interesting enough to want to go out and see them, for instance.

A federal appeals court rules that makers of two leading file-sharing programs are not legally liable for the copyrighted works their users swap online. The decision is likely to force the industry to take the more costly and less popular route of going directly after file-swappers.

People Deleting MP3s, Sharing Less...
But Hating The Recording Industry More 11/05/2003 01:14 PM
A new study has come out saying that, thanks to the RIAA suing everyone they can find, many people are deleting mp3s from their hard drives and using file sharing programs less. However, they also have a lower and lower opinion of the recording industry. That's all well and good, but for as much as they hate the recording industry, if they're still going out and buying the same major label music, the recording industry doesn't really care. This is, of course, short sighted, because that hatred of the recording industry means that they're probably willing to jump ship should a reasonable alternative show up. In the meantime, though, the RIAA will declare this as a victory.

That's right: make sure the punishment really fits the crime. Over in Italy, if you are caught uploading or downloading an unauthorized file, you now face three years in jail. While older, more intelligent laws focused on whether or not the person copying files was doing so for commercial gain, this new law takes away that provision completely. It's a different law than the one that we just spoke about in California, but it's almost as bad. Update: And since we're on the subject of silly laws concerning music, Greece is warning people that they can be thrown in jail for buying an unauthorized CD - not just for making or selling it.

Shocker: Entertainment Industry Worried
About File Sharing 01/04/2005 03:17 PM
In what may be the most pointless study done in quite some time, a research firm has determined that (no! really?!?) entertainment industry executives are worried about "digital piracy." The study also found that many feel it's already impacting their bottom line. Of course, what it doesn't say is that just because they're afraid of something, doesn't mean it's bad. This is the same industry that was once deathly afraid of the VCR and claimed it would completely destroy the movie industry -- when it actually revived an industry that was in trouble. Also, just because something impacts your bottom line, it doesn't mean it's bad. The automobile business impacted the horse and buggy industry, but most people realized that was a good thing in the long run. If the horse and buggy makers had realized they were in the "transportation business" and not the "horse and buggy business," they would have made out better. All it means is that the companies impacted need to learn to adjust to the changes they face in the market. So far, however, the entertainment industry hasn't shown the ability to do that with these latest changes. Instead of realizing what the "entertainment industry" really means, executives think that they're in the business of selling content on a specific medium (CDs, film etc.) rather than realizing that what they can provide encompasses a much broader picture, which opens up many new opportunities, beyond just selling individual units.

Canadian Recording Industry Appeals File
Sharing Ruling

Canadian Recording Industry Appeals File
Sharing Ruling 07/12/2004 07:26 PM
Not much of a surprise, but the Canadian recording industry (with the movie industry playing the role of the enthusiastic partner right behind them) is appealing the ruling from earlier this year saying that ISPs don't have to reveal the names of customers to the recording industry just because they've put unauthorized copyrighted material in a shareable folder. In that case, the judge pointed out that just because someone has placed a file in a shared folder, there is no evidence they actually shared the file, and, thus, the recording industry has no proof a crime was committed. The recording industry disagrees, claiming the judge misinterpreted the law. In fact, the Canadian recording industry claims that "the computer user is inviting others to copy or burn the tracks" by putting them into a shared folder. Unfortunately, this sounds eerily similar to the whole point of the INDUCE Act here in the US -- where it will suddenly be a crime to tempt others to commit a crime.
