Copy Protected CD's are Worthless
06/17/2005 03:50 PMWhat is it going to take to get the music recoding and production
industry to wake up. After all how many people actually listen to an
actual CD these days. My 99 disk CD player was sold at a garage sale
several years ago, and the only thing I play now is music from the
file server in my office piped into my stereo via WiFi.
If your pissed off about these anti-copying techniques, then you
need to start speaking out. When you buy a CD that has these
restrictions call the companies and tell them what you think. Until
you stand up for your rights and demand fair use, the recording
industry is not going to stop.
Consumers have a choice, and if we step out and say were not going
to take it anymore, they will listen. But this takes a lot of people
calling them out. So let's get busy. [Techdirt<

Making Copy Protected CDs Cheaper?
Making Copy Protected CDs Cheaper?
07/21/2004 08:22 PMThe head of Atlantic Records UK seems to be recognizing the fact that
copy protection doesn't provide consumers with anything of value, and
he has an interesting idea on how to deal with this fact:
make copy
protected CDs cheaper than those without copy protection. What if
you had an option to buy a copy protected CD at a discount, or an
"open" CD at a premium? While it's surprising to see a recording
industry exec admit the lower value of a copy protected CD, we all
know what would happen. Most people would buy the cheaper CD, and
proceed to use some sort of workaround to deal with the copy
protection. Unfortunately, this also opens the door to the concept of
use-based pricing for music. Want to play that CD on a stereo?
That'll be $15. Want to play it on a computer also? $17.50. In your
car? $20. On your portable music player? $25.

Recording Industry Lies About Copy
Protected CDs Not Playing In Cars
Recording Industry Lies About Copy
Protected CDs Not Playing In Cars
02/13/2004 05:52 AMApparently, the BBC ran a story about new, copy protected CDs in the
UK, and pointed out that they often won't play on car CD players.
They asked a recording industry exec to explain this, and he claimed
that
the
carmakers haven't kept up on CD standards, which is
blatantly false. The truth is that the copy protection breaks the
"red book" specification of what a CD is. Two years ago, the music
industry was
sued
for putting copy protection on CDs and still calling them CDs -
despite the fact that the CDs now violate the red book standard of
what a CD is. The Register article points out that the BBC did a
terrible job in simply accepting what the recording industry exec
said, even when a representative from Volkswagen pointed out that all
of their CD players meet the spec perfectly. A good reporter would
notice the contradiction and find out who's right. Instead, they
leave it up in the air as if it's a disagreement over issues.
Is Intel Building Copy Protected
Proprietary File Sharing System Into
Chips?
Is Intel Building Copy Protected
Proprietary File Sharing System Into
Chips?
03/30/2005 05:20 PMThis Reuters story is quite confusing, so hopefully more details are
forthcoming that will explain what's really happening. The story
claims that Intel has teamed up with media giant Bertelsmann to
build chips that are "compatible with"
Bertelsmann's new file sharing app. Bertelsmann announced that
application
last week, and it sounds basically like any
other entertainment industry-approved file sharing app. It's not
really about file sharing, but creating a broadcast distribution
mechanism with a tollbooth. So why is Intel getting involved? That's
not clear at all. Does this mean the file sharing system, as
currently developed, doesn't work on Intel chips? That seems highly
unlikely. What would it be working on? Does it mean that Intel is
re-architecting its chips to include this proprietary copy-protected
file sharing system at the
chip level? That also seems highly
unlikely (or, if true, highly disturbing). Intel (and others) make
the chips on which all different kinds of applications can run. They
shouldn't be favoring one type of application or building it in at the
chip level. If anything, this is probably just a marketing
relationship, where Intel may be tossing in a bit of help with
designing the software. However, it still seems like a strange
announcement.
How The Tea Seller Became The VoIP

How The Tea Seller Became The VoIP
Seller
09/02/2004 03:56 AMEarlier this week an announcement from VoIP Inc. caught my attention
briefly. It appeared like yet another VoIP startup wannabe, that
happened to get a pretty good name for getting attention in the space
-- if not much else. Light Reading, however, has the details on VoIP
Inc. and how it's
former name just so happened to be Millennia Tea Masters.
The rest of the story is complex, but rest assured in includes
convicted felons, reverse mergers and lots and lots and lots of
subsidiaries. Not very much actual selling of products (tea or VoIP)
though.

09/20/2004 03:07 PMWhile the entertainment industry freaks out that if their content is
available online for free no one will buy it, here's yet another
example that it's simply not true. Other things, including packaging,
certainly come into play. How else can people explain the fact that
the 9/11 Commission Report is a best
seller, despite being available for free online? At a reasonable
price, many people realize it's simply more convenient to have the
hard copy.

Confessions of a Cellphone Seller: The
Sprint Edition
Confessions of a Cellphone Seller: The
Sprint Edition
06/24/2004 07:58 AMWe asked our friend Elvi -- who
happens to be, among other things, an in-store Sprint representative
-- to give us the sweet and low on Sprint's current lineup of phones. Think of it as the same sort of
information you'd get if you spent an hour or two of time with a
Sprint employee at his most candid. If you are a mobile phone hawker
for another carrier and would like to give us your take on your
offerings, let us know.
Nokia
3588i
Sprint has often been criticized by the teeny bopper crowd for not
carrying any "cool" phones. This infuriates Sprint's purchasing
department, who have made major investments in the newest technology
and most advanced (read: most expensive) phones.
Sprint seems to have picked up this Nokia model for no other
feature than the customizable faceplate that is so popular with twelve
year old girls. Now even Sprint has a hot pink phone!
This is the last remaining non-Vision phone in Sprint's lineup. To
do text messaging, a separate $5 service is needed. For the same
amount, Britney could share the Vision service on mom or dad's
account, getting text messaging, web browsing, downloads, etc.
The $150 price tag means that qualifying customers can get this one
for free, but I can't imagine anyone choosing this phone for any
reason other than price. There are better options available without
paying much more.
See those better options after the jump.
