"This Land" was made for you and me, JibJab Media says in

Your Land in an online parody of President Bush and Sen. John
Kerry....JibJab, which is run by brothers Gregg and Evan Spiridellis,
says in its suit, filed Thursday in San Francisco federal court, that
the video is a parody and doesn't infringe on Ludlow Music's

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 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.

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. :-)

01/05/2005 11:29 AMWhat consumers want—an out-of-box way to share and transmit
files between different storage media and computers (and
users)—is exactly what manufacturers don't want to give them,
but they'll tease us a little. So, if you're really rich, DigitalDeck
Entertainment Network is busting out an in-home network PC to gear to
DVD sharing system that costs $4000 - $5000. It probably consists of a
bunch of cables and a universal remote that your geeked-out younger
brother could hack together himself.

Online file swapping endures: What, exactly, is eDonkey?
Despite entertainment industry attempts to curb online song and
movie swapping with lawsuits and education campaigns, more people than
ever are using peer-to-peer services.
BigChampagne, which tracks Internet file sharing, says 8.3 million
people were online at any one time in June using unauthorized services
like Kazaa and eDonkey — up 19% from 6.8 million in June
2003.
The majority of files being traded were music, BigChampagne says.
Porn videos and images were the second-biggest category.

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 Goes Social

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 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.
