Collusion

Streamcast CEO Accuses Record Labels Of
Collusion 07/12/2004 04:24 AM
As the recording industry continues their pointless lawsuits to put the fear of litigation into the hearts of file sharers, it turns out that fil e sharing -- especially of music -- is on the upswing. Even worse, Streamcast's CEO is presenting evidence to Congress that the record labels have colluded to create a "blacklist" against any of the file sharing companies, telling other firms not to work with the major file sharing companies or risk problems from within the established industry. This, of course, wouldn't be a surprise, as the industry has been found guilty of such things in the past. Still, considering the type of entertainment-industry backed legislation that's been coming out of Congress these days, they seem mostly interested in investigating how to prop up a dying industry, rather than looking into how that industry is colluding to keep out competition.

Musicians Realizing They Don't Need
Record Labels To Sell Online

Musicians Realizing They Don't Need
Record Labels To Sell Online 01/26/2004 06:27 PM
Lots of people have realized for quite some time that the recording industry isn't so much the "recording" industry, but rather the "CD distribution" industry. Their entire focus is on how to sell more tangible items that have music on it. That's part of the reason why they've had so much trouble figuring out the whole online music business. There's no tangible "thing" for them to sell, so it doesn't make sense to them. Now, however, it appears that some musicians are beginning to figure this out as well... and, as part of that, realizing they don't really need the record labels if they want to sell music online. Peter Gabriel and Brian Eno are launching a musician's "alliance" that would help musicians sell their music directly online without any record label involvement. It's an interesting idea, but it seems a little short on details at this point. Record labels are waking up to the fact that they need to do something about online music, even if they're not quite sure what that thing is. As such, expect them to do their best to lock up the digital rights to music from musicians as well. This isn't a problem if musicians want to ditch record labels altogether, but the labels are useful for promotional purposes. If the musicians can figure out a way to do that without the traditional record labels, then they're all set.

Just How Much Do The Music Labels Not
Understand?

Just How Much Do The Music Labels Not
Understand? 05/04/2004 02:29 AM
Last month we wrote about how the music industry was, inexplicably, looking to (a) raise prices on digital downloads and (b) force people to buy a bad song to get a good song. They clearly have no clue that they're basically killing the one, very minor, success they've had in the world of digital downloads. Now, even folks in mainstream magazines like Newsweek are screaming about how the labels just don't get it. Steven Levy takes a look at a number of downloadable albums that cost more than their CDs, while giving the user less (one of the CDs comes with a DVD as well). He also can't believe that the industry hasn't pushed to make downloadable songs play on a variety of devices, as that would encourage more people to buy. However, the folks who run the labels don't get it. They only look at digital downloads and see piracy. They are blind to the idea that it might be an opportunity, and thus they have no real reason to come up with reasons to encourage it. Of course, all this really does is push end-users to seek less than legal alternatives.

Music Labels Focus On Ringtones

Music Labels Focus On Ringtones 08/18/2004 05:22 AM
It 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.
