Music industry files hundreds of new
copyright lawsuits 01/23/2004 02:45 AM

The Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) filed more than five hundred lawsuits against filesharers for alleged copyright infringement.

Because a recent federal appeals court decision prevents subpoenas citing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act from being issued prior to the filing of lawsuits, defendants were identified only by their IP addresses pending subpoenas being issued to their ISPs.

This appears to be a successor to last year's subpoena campaign , which probably helped reduce aggregate file-trading in 2003 .

German company RapidSolution Software has released the Windows software Tunebite. Music tracks purchased from the Internet are copy-protected and involve important restrictions for many users when they are played back. With the option to re-record them while they are played, Tunebite legally provides the user with new music files without restrictions. This ensures that music bought from Apple iTunes, Sony Connect, AOL or other music platforms in the Internet can be played back and listened to from everywhere. [PRWEB Sep 13, 2004]

How Copyright Law Changed Music

How Copyright Law Changed Music 06/02/2004 11:07 PM
Chuck D of Public Enemy has always been a strong supporter of freeing up music. Years ago, when Napster first appeared on the scene, he was one of the first to publicly stand up in support of Napster, and even went on TV to debate Lars Ulrich from Metallica on the subject. Here's a fascinating i nterview with Chuck D & Hank Shocklee of Public Enemy, talking about how copyright law forced them to change the style of music they created entirely. They claim that two of their earlier albums would be impossible to create today, but were possible early on when record execs hadn't trained their legal guns on music sampling yet. Now, those same songs, that used many different samples would be impossibly expensive. Chuck D claims that the group had to "change our whole style" between albums in order to take into account new copyright rules. Also, when asked about others taking their music and remixing it themselves, he says: "I think my feelings are obvious. I think it's great."

Colleges fighting music copyright
infringement: new report 08/27/2004 01:24 PM

The Joint Committee of the Higher Education and Entertainment Communities issued a report on filesharing and copyright infringement on college campuses. The group found that awareness of copyright problems had grown, and many solutions mounted.

Moreover, looking back over the past year ,

The recording industry has sued more than 3,000 computer users since September in a campaign to stem file-sharing... So far this year, 185 people at 35 universities were among those snared in the recording industry's lawsuit campaign, according to the report.

“ ‘We propose to acquire the rights to digitally duplicate and store THE BEST of every record company's difficult-to-move Quality Catalog Items [Q.C.I.], store them in a central processing location, and have them accessible by phone or cable TV, directly patchable into the user's home taping appliances, with the option of direct digital-to-digital transfer to F-1….

All accounting for royalty payments, billing to the customer, etc. would be automatic, built into the initial software for the system.

Can VCs Change The Music Industry?

Can VCs Change The Music Industry? 06/02/2004 09:37 PM
People sometimes like to compare record execs to venture capitalists, but one major difference between the two is that, at least VCs realize that the nature of business (even their own) tends to change over time. The record execs still seem to want to deny that. Perhaps things will start to change, now that VCs are starting to get into the music business, looking to build up companies that can challenge the old guard with new technologies and new business models. Of course, the last time VCs tried to get involved with new technologies and business models for the music biz, those VCs got sued by the music biz.

Help the music industry figure out which

Aaron Swartz has started a blog to record and discuss "alternative compensation schemes" -- business models for music in the era of P2P nets.

Here's the proposal in a nutshell: Some group of people pay a small fee (like a couple dollars a month). In return, they can download whatever they want, however they want. We track what is downloaded and then distribute the money received, in proportion, to the people responsible for the songs. Everybody wins: users get all the music they want, software developers can continue innovating, and the industry gets paid.

New Business Models For The Music
Industry?

New Business Models For The Music
Industry? 09/15/2004 04:23 AM
NPR is running a three-part series looking at potential new business models for the music industry in the face of the ongoing changes brought about by digital technologies for the creation and distribution of music. The three business models are all interesting, and some are already being tried, but it seems unlikely that any will get all that far. The first goes back to times past and looks at the idea of "patronage." The idea is to get a wealthy individual (or, more likely, company) to pay for musical output. The NPR piece suggests that this could be modified as a way for hardcore fans to repay a band, but another interesting concept could be corporate sponsorship. The second idea is bringing back the always popular, but often discr edited, idea of micropayments. Without rehashing all the old arguments, micropayments only work in some very specific circumstances, and do more to shrink a musicians potential market than to grow it. The final idea is some sort of general tax on ISPs, which has strong proponents but raises all sorts of problems concerning why some users are subsidizing others and who gets how much money. Of course, there are other business models that could work today, don't require a huge change in the way things are done, and gives people real value for their money: recognize that the music is a promotional tool for other stuff (professional liner notes, fan clubs, concert tickets, clothing, access to the band, backstage passes, you name it) and suddenly the state of the recording industry doesn't seem so dire.
