Clear Channel Playing Dirty with Bands
selling Music 05/25/2004 07:05 AM

Let's say you and your buddies don't know how to play musical instruments and yet you decide to form a band. You open your garage door and play like there is no tomorrow. The police come and actually shut you down because it was so bad that all your neighbors have complained. Now imagine you have recorded that music and offer it immediately for-sale to anyone that wants to purchase a
copy of your horrid noise. Several days later you get a notice from Clear Channel saying you have to purchase a license in order to legally sell that music immediately after each show.

Is this not the most ridiculous things you have ever heard. Well it seems Clear Channel is squashing popular bands that want to sell immediate recordings of concerts they have just performed. If your willing to buy a license to do so then you are good to go. The audacity of doing this is shocking. [Techdirt]

A few months ago, a non-profit group called Project Billboard made up of concerned citizens from the Bay Area, who also happen to be women, purchased some prime billboard space in Times Square on the Marriott Marquis just in time for the Republican National Convention and the elections in November. They signed a contract, and wrote a $368,000 check which was accepted, for the two month lease.

Clear Channel DJs advocate violence against bicyclists. "One caller said her dad had purposely hit a biker on the road on the way to church one Sunday and kept on going. That got laughs." Clear Channel apologizes, but won't release transcripts or tapes of the broadcasts. Don't you love responsible radio journalism?

Clear Channel Hopping On The Podcasting
Bandwagon 03/25/2005 09:47 PM
In the midst of lackluster growth as a result of declining revenue from its radio ads, Clear Channel announces that it is revamping its online strategy. While this story does reek of a "hey, we're still going to work everyday" release, there are a number of interesting bits. Not only will Clear Channel be offering free live web concerts, but they also will be dabbling in podcasting. While Clear Channel's five-minute ad-supported podcasts are a good gesture, they don't really seem to get the whole point of podcasting. Podcasts allow users to listen to what they want to hear when they want to hear it. After listening to a Clear Channel podcast, if you want to hear more, then what? Too bad for you, because most likely the show already aired and there's no way to listen to the rest of the show. This doesn't sound so much like podcasting as it does a way for Clear Channel execs to think they're on top of these new cool things when they're actually making themselves look silly.

How to Lose Your Job in Talk Radio Why did this happen? Why only a couple of months after my company picked up the option on my contract for another year in the fifth-largest city in the United States, did it suddenly decide to relegate me to radio Outer Darkness? The answer lies hidden in the oil-and-water incompatibility of these two seemingly disconnected phrases: “Criticizing Bush” and “Clear Channel.”

Clear Channel Cuts Commercials To Just
Most Of The Time, Instead Of All 07/19/2004 02:51 PM
I tend not to listen to very much radio at all, but when I do flip around the dial, it does seem like commercial radio these days is pretty much all commercials, all the time. Well, it looks like Clear Channel is starting to realize that while they may own all the radio stations out there, they're facing competition from satellite and internet radio (as well as people listening to their own music via CD players and digital music players). So, today, they've made a big splash by announcing that all of their radio stations will now have fewer commercials -- though, they don't say by how much. Of course, if you read between the lines, the announcement is also stating (though, not explicitly) that in doing so, Clear Channel is also going to raise advertising fees. They're trying to limit supply to push up the price, but this is coded as: "more effective opportunities and value for their advertising dollar."

A new coalition made up of big name technology companies IBM, Intel, Sony, Microsoft, Warner Bros., Disney and Panasonic have vowed to stop consumers from being able to record HDTV in the privacy of our own homes. Their is already legislation to lock out your Digital Video recorders starting July 1st through embedded chips. This coalition is not good news for the consumer and those of you that care about fair use rights are going to need to speak up because these companies are vowing to control what you can do with content you pay for already.

AOL Buys Advertising.com For No Clear
Reason

AOL Buys Advertising.com For No Clear
Reason 06/24/2004 11:40 AM
AOL announced today that they're buying Advertising.com. What's not entirely clear, however, is why. They claim it's to "provide advertisers with an opportunity to reach more than 140 million Internet users." Of course, advertisers already had that opportunity. Advertising.com works with advertisers to connect them to 1,500 publishers -- but now, in being owned by AOL, they'll be competing with those publishers. If that's the case, Advertising.com is likely to lose a lot of business from publishers, and will really only be useful for advertising on AOL properties. Of course, there were already ways to advertise on AOL, so it's not entirely clear how useful this will be. Still, it has to be slightly better than relyi ng on scamming employees to sell AOL email addresses to spammers as a way of advertising to AOL customers.

Court Tells DirecTV To Stop Extortion
Plan One Day Later 06/15/2004 09:08 PM
It's beginning to sound like it wasn't so much the EFF's persuasive words that convinc ed DirecTV to stop suing people just for owning smartcard equipment. Just one day after that announcement was made, a judge has told the satellite TV company that they can no longer sue just for possession if they have no proof that the person actually did anything wrong with the equipment. It certainly took the courts long enough to come to that conclusion, causing problems for plenty of people who were wrongfully sued. In the meantime, this ruling makes you think that DirecTV already knew it was coming when they made their little "promise" to the EFF yesterday.

Dutch Parliament Tells Minister To Stop
Supporting Software Patents

Dutch Parliament Tells Minister To Stop
Supporting Software Patents 07/06/2004 12:15 PM
Back in May we had the story of how the EU Council Ministers, despite tons of protest, had brokere d a backroom deal to approve an incredible backwards looking proposal on accepting software patents. Apparently, the Dutch Minister went back to his own Parliament and described the new proposal as a "compromise" rather than a one-sided ruling that ignored almost all of the complaints about problems with the proposal. Found on Dave Farber's Interesting People list comes the news that the Dutch Minister has now admitted his explanation of the proposal was a mistake, which he somehow blames on an "an error in the word processor." If someone believes that an error in a word processor can lead to him saying something that is completely untrue about a proposed law that would seriously impact the country's ability to innovate, you have to wonder why this guy has any power to vote on such laws at all. Thankfully, the Dutch Parliament seems to agree, and have told him to change his vote and no longer support the proposal. So far, this story doesn't seem to be getting much attention other than this one mention, however, so I'm wondering if there are others who can confirm this is what actually happened. I've found one version at DMEurope that seems to pretty much repeat the original press release, but nothing else.
