Recording Industry Insiders Leaking
Music 12/04/2003 12:02 PM
Remember a few months ago all the news that was made over the very obvious fact that movie s were often leaked by Hollywood insiders? Well, then, now it should come as no surprise to find out that the music industry is now worried about pre-release music being released by insiders as well. Recently, a number of big name albums have been rushed into stores after tracks started showing up on file sharing systems months before the planned release date. Of course, in many cases the record industry doesn't like to admit that these "pre-release" leaks actually helped build buzz for the albums - but the industry refuses to admit that file sharing has any promotional power. In the meantime, they're wasting a ton of money trying to create special, proprietary "secure delivery methods" to send around tracks from pre-release albums to places like radio stations. As you might imagine, this is angering radio stations who don't see why they can't just send over a CD instead of requiring the radio station to set up some convoluted biometric system that involves having to re-enter your password eight times before you're allowed to enter the system.

Don Henley Blames Recording Industry For
Killing Music

Don Henley Blames Recording Industry For
Killing Music 02/19/2004 06:27 AM
An interesting article being picked up by a variety of publications written by famed musician Don Henley, saying that the trouble facing the recording industry isn't about the internet or piracy, but about record labels that no longer understand what business they're in, and who are so focused on profit, they're forgetting that they're creating music and not a commoditized product. Henley's solution is that musicians should fight against media mergers and demand that labels treat musicians fairly. He seems to believe the only way to do this is to have the government step in. I'm not sure why this is necessary. Musicians should vote with their feet. If they're getting screwed over by the record labels (and they are), that's an opportunity for better record labels to come along. Some new labels are trying to be different, and if a few major musicians went in that direction others would quickly follow.

Isn't the recording industry silly for trying this? I'm glad it's wasting its time on this fool's errand. I hope Veritouch gets millions from the RIAA for this rotten idea, which has a zero percent chance of catching on.

The RIAA is hoping that a new breed of music player which requires biometric authentication will put an end to file sharing. Established biometric vendor Veritouch has teamed up with Swedish design company to produce iVue: a wireless media player that allows content producers to lock down media files with biometric security. This week Veritouch announced that it had demonstrated the device to the RIAA and MPAA.

Canadian Recording Industry Trying To
Kill Online Music Stores 04/18/2005 11:29 PM
It's almost comical to see each mis-step that the recording industry makes in trying to figure out how to deal with online music. The latest bizarre move is up in Canada, where the industry has been freaking out ever since a judge suggested that people downloading music weren 't actually breaking the law -- especially in light of the fees charged to all blank media sales to cover such copying. The various groups who manage such tariffs are putting in requests that would amount to appr oximately 40% of the revenue brought in from online music stores such as iTunes. Yes, 40%. You have to assume they're going on the theory that if they get to ask for some money for nothing, they might as well ask for a lot. Hopefully these fees will get thrown out, because if they don't, it will basically kill off legal music download stores in Canada and just send more people to the "free" alternatives.

The Recording Industry Finds Their Way
Onto Internet2 04/12/2005 02:01 PM
Late last year, the RIAA made a big deal about how they wanted to join the Internet2 group as a member. It was obvious from the beginning that the only reason they wanted to do so was to track to people file sharing on the network. They did make some noises about using the faster Internet2 technology to test out better digital distribution techniques, but the real interest was in finding a few more people to sue. In that, they've been successful. The latest round of lawsuits targets file sharers on Internet2.

A Code Of Conduct For The Recording
Industry

A Code Of Conduct For The Recording
Industry 04/12/2005 02:00 PM
It appears that record companies and their movie counterparts are pressuring ISPs to adopt a "code of conduct" for blocking P2P file sharing and turning in such users to the authorities. Perhaps it seems odd for one (non-governmental) industry to create a code of conduct for another. But what the heck. In that spirit, we've taken the liberty of creating a code of conduct for ISPs to impose on the record labels. It would go something like this: 1) acknowledge that file sharing is inevitable (and forget about us policing our networks for you); 2) use that to your advantage, as industries have similarly done for centuries; 3) if you need help with #2, do this: devise a smarter business model that embraces file sharing, perhaps even exploits it; 4) if you need help with #3, do this: consider sharing as free advertising and build services around that; 5) if you need help with #4, try this: your new business model all laid out for you; and 6) by all means, stop giving sibling spinoff acts a contract and/or a microphone.

Natalie Merchant abandons the recording
industry 03/14/2003 01:08 PM
Pat sez, "Natalie Merchant has completely severed her relationship with the commercial recording industry. Her new album, to be released this June, won't be released by a major label, but on her own independent imprint through her website."

They expect fans to learn about the album from Ms. Merchant's Web site and through publicity and a small advertising campaign. To gauge demand, they may offer fans who order the CD in advance a downloadable file of a song from the sessions that is not included on the album. In an increasingly consolidated retail business, a handful of chain stores, like Borders and Barnes & Noble, have accounted for a large percentage of Ms. Merchant's sales in the past; now her label is approaching them directly.

"I don't know that every artist has the capability to go directly to these chains, but Natalie has a history," Mr. Smith said.

Microsoft Talking To The Recording

Microsoft Talking To The Recording
Industry About Copy Protection 09/17/2004 02:31 PM
It looks like Cory Doctorow's talk to Microsoft about why copy protection is bad for everyone -- including the recording industry, customers, and Microsoft itself -- didn't have much of an impact. Microsoft is now in talks with the recording industry about how to build copy protection into their next generation operating system to make sure you can't actually do what you want with the music you buy. Of course, this is likely to be an expensive waste of time that will only annoy legitimate buyers by causing problems. The people who really want to copy music will figure out workarounds. The large counterfeiters will already have big workarounds, so it won't impact their business at all. The only people impacted will be people who want to do perfectly legitimate things with the music they bought, but find out they're blocked because Microsoft and the recording industry doesn't trust them.

Recording Industry Thinks The UK Doesn't
Understand Exchange Rates

Recording Industry Thinks The UK Doesn't
Understand Exchange Rates 05/20/2004 01:05 PM
We've already had stories about how the recording industry is looking for any possible way to raise prices on digital downloads (showing just how little they understand the concept of an emerging market), and now we find out that the standard $1 price is really more for marketing reasons. Now that Napster has launched in the UK, they seem to think that it's a good idea to use the "1 standard unit of currency" as the main price - probably because it looks better in advertisements. So, in the US, a track is $1. In the UK it's £1. Now, while the recording industry couldn't be bothered, most users understand exchange rates, and realize that £1 = ~ $1.77 (with some fluctuations). In other words, for the sake of being able to use the "1 standard unit of currency" pricing, the recording industry gets to nearly double the price in the UK. This doesn't seem likely to encourage much adoption - but may encourage plenty of resentment. Of course, by this point, it appears the recording industry thrives on resentment.

Canadian Recording Industry Appeals File
Sharing Ruling

Canadian Recording Industry Appeals File
Sharing Ruling 07/12/2004 07:26 PM
Not much of a surprise, but the Canadian recording industry (with the movie industry playing the role of the enthusiastic partner right behind them) is appealing the ruling from earlier this year saying that ISPs don't have to reveal the names of customers to the recording industry just because they've put unauthorized copyrighted material in a shareable folder. In that case, the judge pointed out that just because someone has placed a file in a shared folder, there is no evidence they actually shared the file, and, thus, the recording industry has no proof a crime was committed. The recording industry disagrees, claiming the judge misinterpreted the law. In fact, the Canadian recording industry claims that "the computer user is inviting others to copy or burn the tracks" by putting them into a shared folder. Unfortunately, this sounds eerily similar to the whole point of the INDUCE Act here in the US -- where it will suddenly be a crime to tempt others to commit a crime.

Recording Industry Lies About Copy
Protected CDs Not Playing In Cars

Recording Industry Lies About Copy
Protected CDs Not Playing In Cars 02/13/2004 05:52 AM
Apparently, the BBC ran a story about new, copy protected CDs in the UK, and pointed out that they often won't play on car CD players. They asked a recording industry exec to explain this, and he claimed that the carmakers haven't kept up on CD standards, which is blatantly false. The truth is that the copy protection breaks the "red book" specification of what a CD is. Two years ago, the music industry was sued for putting copy protection on CDs and still calling them CDs - despite the fact that the CDs now violate the red book standard of what a CD is. The Register article points out that the BBC did a terrible job in simply accepting what the recording industry exec said, even when a representative from Volkswagen pointed out that all of their CD players meet the spec perfectly. A good reporter would notice the contradiction and find out who's right. Instead, they leave it up in the air as if it's a disagreement over issues.

Recording Industry To Sue Mobile Phone
Operator Over MP3 Playing Phones 06/03/2004 01:45 PM
Back in April we had what we hoped was an April Fool's joke: that the Korean music industry had forced mobile phone operators to make their MP3-playing mobile phones destroy MP3s. The plan was originally to force the phones degrade the quality of MP3s, but eventually a plan was worked out to force the phones to delete any MP3s after 72 hours. Apparently, none of this was enough, and the industry is now looking to sue. With all the success of both broadband and wireless technologies in Korea, it's amazing that an industry could be so backwards to believe that they can actually grow a market by breaking the applications that people want.

Is The Recording Industry Hiding spyware
In Windows Media Files?

Is The Recording Industry Hiding spyware
In Windows Media Files? 12/30/2004 02:25 PM
Here's a story that raises many more questions than it answers. When the recording industry first tried to get politicians to shut down file sharing networks, they went with the "it's stealing music" line, which generated some interest, but most people didn't seem to pay attention. Then, the industry suddenly became oh-so-concerned about the fact that child porn was on these systems, and tried to convince politicians they needed to stop file sharing for the "sake of the children." Lately, it seems the industry will do whatever it takes to make file sharing systems look bad. With that in mind, it makes you wonder if they'd go so far as to specifically hide spyware on file sharing networks just to upset users. It's not entirely clear if that's what happened, but it seems like the most obvious explanation for the following story, which was found on Broadband Reports. Overpeer, a subsidiary of Loudeye, has been caught hiding adware and spyware within Windows Media files. Overpeer is the same company that the recording industry has hired in the past to dump fake versions of songs on file sharing networks. What the article doesn't answer is whether or not the industry hired Overpeer to dump spyware on the network as well, but it's likely they're pleased either way. Overpeer defends their actions by saying that anyone obviously deserves what they get because, obviously, they were looking for unauthorized files. It's not clear that everyone would agree. Sneaking malicious files onto someone's computer because "they deserved it!" doesn't seem like a very good justification. What may be even more important to this story, however, is the revelation of just how easy it is, thanks to a huge loophole in Microsoft's copy protection technology, to include a malicious file with an audio or video file. Basically, because Windows DRM needs to look for a license, all anyone needs to do is point that license to a website that loads malicious content and off you go. Thank you Microsoft, for creating a huge loophole that will probably make sure millions of new computers are loaded with spamming, DDOSing trojans shortly. Thank goodness for that Microsoft DRM, huh? Not only does it not protect any actual property while making things more expensive, it opens up plenty more people to malicious attacks.

People Deleting MP3s, Sharing Less...
But Hating The Recording Industry More

People Deleting MP3s, Sharing Less...
But Hating The Recording Industry More 11/05/2003 01:14 PM
A new study has come out saying that, thanks to the RIAA suing everyone they can find, many people are deleting mp3s from their hard drives and using file sharing programs less. However, they also have a lower and lower opinion of the recording industry. That's all well and good, but for as much as they hate the recording industry, if they're still going out and buying the same major label music, the recording industry doesn't really care. This is, of course, short sighted, because that hatred of the recording industry means that they're probably willing to jump ship should a reasonable alternative show up. In the meantime, though, the RIAA will declare this as a victory.

Even if there is some speed advantage to Tamino and brethren, it's simply lacking in almost every other regard. This is especially damning given that Tamino and brethren will cost more for most simple implementations. There's plenty of room for native XML databases to play in smaller apps and for apps requiring DTDs, but when it comes to large corporate repositories of data, there's really no reason now to go away from the existing relational databases. I expect IBM and Microsoft to be coming out with products of similar power in the near future. -- Kimbro Staken

Native American criticism

Native American criticism 08/09/2004 11:47 AM
What's an Indian, Anyway? Just one of the essays exploring real vs. fake in Native American culture posted At Wanderer's Well. Lots of opinionated reviews of the work of Louise Erdrich, N. Scott Momaday, Tony Hillerman, Ursula K. Le Guin and many others. The surprisingly rich personal site from a former academic (who now calls his departure from scholarly publishing "felicitous") offers hours of reading with detailed side-trips and fascinating links.

RSS native parsing in the next Firebird

RSS native parsing in the next Firebird 02/10/2004 02:42 AM

This is new to me. I was checking out the nightly builds of Firebird 0.8 betas (windows and linux, mac< /a>) and they' ve got an rss button and panel that parses RSS, with titles linking to the main window. Slick, but they need to let you track which ones have new/old items.

update: It turns out I'm actually a dumbass. I installed this RSS extension so long ago I forgot about it, and because I never saw it show up in any menu, I figured it never "took" on my Firebird install. Then when I had the new nightly build the toolbars were out of whack on first run so I went to customize them and saw the RSS button for the first time, and assumed it came with Firebird 0.8. My bad.

Native busts out Kompakt for OS X

Native busts out Kompakt for OS X 12/19/2003 01:18 PM
Berlin, Germany music software developer Native Instruments released Kompakt over the summer; it's a streamlined sampler for musicians and DJs that ships with a large library of its own and also handles common sample formats. The only problem was that at the time of its release last July, Kompakt didn't support Mac OS X. Now it does.
