eBay confuses free software and piracy

eBay confuses free software and piracy 12/15/2003 10:25 AM
I give eBay credit for trying to do the right thing. In 1999, James Love documented on the Consumer Project for Technology mailing list how Microsoft was forcing eBay to remove items from auction if they bore the Microsoft name. According to Microsoft, consumers have no right to sell Microsoft software that they have legally purchased. eBay responded by pulling all auctions for Windows and warning those who had tried to sell it of the legal consequences of software piracy. But this is different. They are pulling auctions for free software. It's because of their "piracy policy." At least that's what they're telling Russ Phillips.

Record sales up, P2P sales up -- RIAA's
story doesn't add up 03/24/2005 04:52 PM
Cory Doctorow: According to the RIAA, CD sales are increasing. Now, the RIAA also says that P2P destroys music sales, so it follows that if they're selling more CDs there must be less P2P, right? Uh, no -- file-sharing is up, too (so CD sales should be falling right?).

So is it possible that CD sales and P2P are decoupled (as all the quantitative, independent research indicates), and that the downturn in CD sales is better laid at the feed of bad business, a bad economy, fewer albums and more things competing for entertainment dollars (cough games cough Internet cough).

The number of CDs and other music products shipped from record labels to retail merchants rose 2 percent last year, to 814 million units, the first annual increase in five years, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.
