Half Full 01/19/2004 03:04 PM
For all the hype about the various music download stores, people are still (rightfully so) complaining that many are missing songs from popular artists, or that certain songs are only available at some download stores, but not at others. Here's a good explanation of all the contractual difficulties associated with putting songs online for sale at these download stores. Part of the issue is really just one of legacy contracts that didn't take into account the potential for downloadable music stores. While the musicians, lawyers, agents, and record label execs fight this all out, most people will continue to just use free file sharing networks instead.

A series of moves by digital media giants suggest further developments in the growing world of music downloading. Sony decided to allow music files in the popular MP3 format to be played in its devices, a change from its policy restricting usage only to its own Atrac format.

At the same time, Yahoo and Microsoft are exploring using instant message applications to support copyright-clear music file sharing. Both companies recently entered the music downloading market.

American colleges are increasingly turning to such download services as an alternative to copyright problems with peer-to-peer filesharing.

Beatles May Get Their Own Music Download
Store 06/08/2004 05:12 PM
People have pointed out in the past that one of the major limitations to online download music stores is the fact that certain popular artists have not allowed their music to be (legally) offered online yet. Exhibit number one is always the Beatles. Well, now it appears that the Beatles are finally warming up to the idea, but only if someone is willing to pay them lots and lots and lots of money for the right to set up an exclusive Beatles store. That's right, the music wouldn't be available in just any download store, but a Beatles-only music store that would be run by some other company. While the article mentions Apple iTunes as a possibility, this seems unlikely unless the Beatles and Apple patch up their legal problems first. Either way, this points out just how ridiculous all these different online stores are. Would the Beatles have ever become famous if you could only buy their music in exclusive Beatles-only record stores, which would then only play on special Beatles-only record players, that had all sorts of limitations on what you could do compared to other music you owned? The Beatles may have been great musicians, but they now appear to be greedy and shortsighted in their attempt to move into the online world.
