Computer industry to entertainment
industry: we lied (right on!)

Computer industry to entertainment
industry: we lied (right on!) 09/22/2004 02:18 AM
Cory Doctorow: This amazing open letter to the entertainment industry, signed by the computer industry, is a nigh-perfect expression of what constitutes a successful approach to Internet technology. And it made me laugh my ass off.

We lied to you. In the golden 80s and 90s we told you micropayments and content protection would work; that you would be able to charge minuscule amounts of money whenever someone listened to your music or watched your movie. We told you untruths which we well knew would never work - after all, we would've never used them ourselves. Instead, we wrote things like Kazaa and Gnutella, and all other evil P2P applications to get the stuff free.

We told you these things so that you would finance the things we really wanted to build, not the things that you wanted to be built. We knew all along that DRM schemes do not work, and we knew that whatever we create can be broken by us. We don't care anymore, because your money made us bigger than you.

Look at us: every year, we churn out more computer games than your entire industry is worth. You know how we do it? We like our customers. We don't treat them like potential criminals, and try to make our products do less. We invent new things like online role-playing -games, where the money does not come from duplication of bits (which cannot be stopped, regardless of your DRM scheme) but from providing experiences that the people want.

We saw that you were old and weak. So we took advantage of it: told you things that you wanted to hear so we could kick you in the head in twenty years. Some of us told you that the future is going to be interactive - what did you do? You started to think how to make interactive movies (CD-I, anyone?), which is not what it really means, while we wrote games and tried to understand the new mediums, not how to bolt it on onto old things.

We lied to you. And we apologize for that, but it was for the greater good. So we're not the least bit sorry.

Signed: The Computer Industry

Music Industry Looks East to Tackle
Piracy 04/12/2005 06:10 AM
Music firms are launching their first lawsuits in Asia as the crackdown on net piracy continues. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry announced this morning it had filed 963 lawsuits, with some of them in Japan. Other countries targeted this time round include the Netherlands, Finland, Ireland and Iceland.

Music sales in Japan have fallen by nearly a third in the past five years - the country has the world's second-largest market for music. John Kennedy, IFPI chairman and chief executive, said: "The industry has decided this is the time to act. The Japanese are law-abiding citizens and it may be this delivers the short, sharp jolt that we need there."

The lawsuits come as legal online alternatives such as Napster and iTunes continue to expand. The industry is also calling for ISPs to take a more pro-active approach by going after those who illegally upload material themselves.

BEDD Mobile Social Software: Obviously
Has Been to Singapore

BEDD Mobile Social Software: Obviously
Has Been to Singapore 06/09/2004 10:57 AM

It's just in Singapore now, but there's another social mobile networking service now called BEDD that uses Bluetooth/SMS/MMS/IM or email to connect people when they are physically close by. It's orients around phone-to-phone connections, too, which means its pretty much limited to the range of your phone's Bluetooth receiver, but they have a large range of services, including dating, eBay-like auctioning, buddies, software distribution, and more. Actually, the more I look at this, the more I'm noticing this service has been out for a while (on Series 60s phones, at least), although they just had their official 'big launch.' I guess the news is that they're aiming to roll out to the rest of Asia, Europe, and the Americas soon.

I'm not too big on the Bluetooth-based mobile social softwares, not because I don't like the concepts, but just because Bluetooth has such a short range. Even here in New York you'd have to be on the same side of the block for this to be useful; I can only imagine how infrequently you'd hook up with someone in a less densely packed city. I need a GPS-enabled phone sending my location to a central server, with user-definable ranges of intersection. And a pony.

Remember that wonderful new $400 million FBI computer system that couldn 't fight terrorists, but could track down fictional video game characters? Well, it appears that American spooks aren't alone in their ability to completely waste money on useless computer systems. MI5 in the UK is now admitting that their brand new computer system will cost much more and do much less than originally promised. Of course, to their credit, at least the damn thing works, unlike the US system, which has been scrapped entirely.
