Novell's SuSE purchase in perspective 11/04/2003 08:20 PM
We listened to the inevitable "We all love each other and everything is going to be wonderful" press conference, looked at readers' reactions to the original Novell buys SuSE announcement, monitored and asked questions in assorted IRC channels, and talked to contacts at Novell, SuSE, Ximian, and elsewhere. But whatever we say (or anyone else says) this week, don't expect the full effect of Novell's SuSE purchase to be visible for at least two months.

Adobe Announce Purchase of Macromedia

Adobe Announce Purchase of Macromedia 04/18/2005 10:55 AM
Adobe has today announced plans to purchase Macromedia for an all-stock transaction worth $3.4 Billion.

Macromedia shareholders will receive 69% a share of Adobe for each one they hold, which represents approx. $41.86 per share at Adobe's closing price of $60.66. The figure represents a 25% premium on Macromedia's shares, which closed at $33.45 on Friday.

The deal, approved by both boards, is being described as a way of expanding both the companies. Bruce Chizen, Adobe CEO, described the purchase as being "all about growth," and explained that he expects the two companies together to grow faster than they would apart. “By combining our powerful development, authoring and collaboration software – along with the complementary functionality of PDF and Flash – Adobe has the opportunity to bring this vision to life with an industry-defining technology platform.” Although true, the deal reflects the increased competition both companies are facing in their respective markets.

Adobe and Macromedia are respected leaders in their fields, and a tie up in the industry has long been expected by analysts. Adobe is a leader in the imaging and document management field, and Macromedia is a leader of web technologies like Flash. The deal has been welcomed by industry watchers.

Although details are somewhat limited, the two companies announced that they believed the purchase would give cost savings. However, as recent history with purchases such HP and Compaq would tell, there are serious difficulties and costs involved in integrating two companies.

Chizen will stay in his position as CEO of Adobe, whilst Stephen Elop, President and CEO of Macromedia, will become president of Worldwide Field Operations in the new combined company. The deal is expected to be completed later this year.

Naxos Music Library Group Purchase!

Naxos Music Library Group Purchase! 06/08/2004 10:44 AM

We've finally got a candidate for a digital music group purchase at SLS (soon to be MLS because of the upcoming merger)!

"Heather Beuttner from Naxos will be at MLS to demonstrate Naxos Music Library and discuss a group purchase opportunity for members of the Metropolitan Library System.

Naxos provides online, streaming access (on-site or remote) to more than 75,000 audio tracks from approximately 5000 recordings, with more than 200 recordings added annually. The collection includes the complete Naxos, Marco Polo, and Da Capo catalogs plus selected titles from other labels, with an emphasis on classical, contemporary jazz, jazz legends, nostalgia, world/folk, new age, and Chinese music.

MLS will be holding 2 demonstrations of the Naxos Music Library on Thursday, July 8. The morning demonstration will be held at the Chicago site from 9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. The afternoon demonstration will be at the Burr Ridge site from 1:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. You can view the flier and register for either demonstration."

More info at http:// www.sls.lib.il.us/infotech/flier/naxos7.8.04.pdf! Hopefully we'll get Rhapsody and the like on board someday.

A related question, though. Last night I downloaded Mercora, a new P2P (peer-to-peer) app that lets you stream the music you own to other registered users. From the FAQ:

"Can I share music files on the network through peer-to-peer downloads?
No. We are not a music downloading service and you will not be able to download music files from other's computers. However, you can listen to others' music through webcasting (streaming)....

Is broadcasting music on the Mercora network legal?
Yes. Mercora has obtained the necessary licenses so that you can broadcast music on the Mercora Network legally....

What can I broadcast on the Mercora Network?
You can broadcast any music that you own legally. These recordings must originate from an authorized source (either created originally by the artist or record label that owns the copyright), and are not unlawful copies that have been downloaded illegally or obtained from an unauthorized third party.

Can I broadcast music that is ripped from CDs or downloaded from an online music store?
Yes. Music that is ripped from CDs that you purchased is considered an authorized source and so is music bought from online music stores like iTunes."

So why couldn't a library use the Mercora network to stream its physical music collection? You could make the content available only to your patrons, and you don't have to worry about file sharing. You could even use some of the built-in social networking and IM tools to communicate with those patrons, while ignoring the irrelevant pieces like picture sharing. Theoretically, it should be completely legal, although it means the library is dependent on Mercora, its resources, and the ad-based revenue model on which it will most likely be based.

So I suppose a better question is can library hackers build an open source solution that does essentially the same thing, and can libraries pool resources to pay the webcasting fees?
