VW car-bomber ad: dispute about more
than copyright? 02/01/2005 08:38 PM
Xeni Jardin: Following up on this previous Boing Boing post, reader raging red says,

I've been doing a tiny bit of research into the German crime of "public incitement" in response to your post about the fake VW ad. This is not simply a copyright infringement issue. The theory here is that this ad could provoke someone to commit a car bombing. Under German law as I read it, even if the ad does not in fact incite someone to commit a car bombing, the two men who produced the phony ad are still subject to a maximum penalty of five years in prison, simply for creating the ad.

Update: raging red says:

Some people [in the comments section of my blog] have corrected me. Apparently the translation from German in the Reuters article is a little off. The crime they may be charged with is a different kind of public incitement. It's called "Volksverhetzung," which apparently means agitation of the public or incitement of hatred. It's basically a hate speech statute. The punishment is 3 months to five years. I haven't verified this information myself yet, but the people in my comments sound like they are correct, and one person has given the text of the statute in my comments.

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.
