iTunes pricing unfair, says British
consumer group 09/15/2004 11:05 AM
British consumer watchdog group Consumers' Association, publishers of Which? magazines and books, on Wednesday announced that they've written to the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) alleging that Apple may be unfairly pricing songs sold through the UK version of its iTunes Music Store. But they appear to be one of the few people who think so, if the comments of the organization's own head of policy is any indication.

Music Download Store Experimenting With
Demand-Based Pricing

Music Download Store Experimenting With
Demand-Based Pricing 01/08/2004 08:41 PM
One of the very good complaints about online music stores is that they offer all songs at the exact same price - which doesn't make much sense in the market place. So, one company is trying to test that out by offer ing dynamic pricing for its downloadable songs. The songs all start at the low low price of $0.10 per song, and then fluctuate based on demand. The company is still paying the $0.67 per song price to the music labels, so they're losing money on plenty of songs - but are saying that's the cost of the experiment. After they've spent the amount they've set aside, they'll go back to the old way of pricing. There are a few problems with this. First, explicit dynamic pricing tends to get a negative reaction from consumers - who feel they get ripped off when someone else bought the same product from the same store at a lower price. More importantly, though, true market pricing isn't just a function of demand - but of supply and demand. In this case, there's an infinite supply, so we're not really talking about market pricing at all. Furthermore, this service competes against plenty of other services that charge around a dollar for songs, so there's a clear upper limit on what they can charge for any song, no matter how popular. An interesting experiment, certainly, but not necessarily indicative of market pricing.

Kozinski fans of the world rejoice! We
have a home on the web. 06/15/2004 03:47 AM
Judge Alex Kozinski is one of the more interesting and entertaining characters on the federal bench, and in spite of being miles apart from me ideologically on many issues, he is one of my favorite judges. Although he starts from a strong ideological viewpoint, he is clearly a man who hungers for new experience, and learns from those experiences. Plus, I have a weakness for people who can write well, and Judge Kozinski is a brilliant writer. If someone could get him to write a weblog, I'd bet it would be in Technorati's top 10 in a few weeks. I corresponded with Judge Kozinski briefly over the revolt he led against Leonidas Ralph Mecham's attempt to monitor Federal Judges' internet usage, saw him in action at the Spectrum Policy debate at Stanford, frequently read his decisions when they come to my attention via Findlaw, and I am a regular reader of his former law clerk Eugene Volokh's weblog. Frankly, unlikely as it might seem, I am a Kozinski fan. So it was with great pleasure that I discovered that another fan, Aaron Swartz, had put together an excellent Alex Kozinski fan website, collecting some of Kozinski's best writing, as well as articles about him. I am delighted that we Kozinski fans of the world now have a home on the web. Thanks, Aaron. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a taste of legal writing at its best....

The tiny white machine is catching on as a fashion statement and turning into a cultural icon in Japan, much the same way it won a fanatic following in the United States. Although Apple doesn't release regional sales figures, six of the top eight selling music players in Japan are iPod models, according to a market research company.
