Anti-Spyware Bill Advances in Congress

Thursday approved a bill designed to crack down on deceptive
"spyware" that hides in users' computers and secretly monitors
their activities.

Congress Wants Anti-Spyware Bill, No
Matter What The Details Are
07/19/2004 01:16 PMDeclan McCullough is looking at one of the anti-spyware bills that's
rocketing its way
through Congress so that politicians can tell their constituents
that they "banned spyware" in time for the November elections.
Unfortunately, like with the CAN SPAM Act, the bill they're pushing
could possibly make the problem worse, not better. Even more annoying
is that it sounds as though a much better anti-spyware bill has been
introduced by others -- but politicians have no time to actually look
at which one is better, since they need to rush this bill through
before they all run home to campaign for the election. Politics at
work.

The United States Congress is
considering two new bills concerning copyright infrigement.
The Protecting Intellectual Rights Against Theft and Expropriation ( PIRATE
) Act would expand the Justice
Department 's power to pursue copyright infringers. In a related
vein is the proposed Piracy
Deterrence and Education Act , which would establish punishments
for and further government abilities to pursue traders dealing in unusually high amounts of content.

The Ringtone Label?
The Ringtone Label?
12/24/2004 12:18 PMWith the rise of ringtones, it seems that some have really taken the
idea and tried to run with it. So far, certainly, ringtones have done
well for some companies, but it's still not clear if it's a
sustainable market, or a faddish one. There's also the fact that the
industry continues to deny that file sharing of ringtones could ever
be a risk -- which suggests they're only asking for serious trouble
down the road. Still, the latest move is that one company has
set up
a record label just for ringtones. Because, already, musicians
have separate labels for CDs and videos and digital downloads and...
wait a second... no they don't. Most musicians basically sign deals
with a single recording label to handle all of their musical
endeavors, so it seems sort of strange to have an entirely separate
label for ringtones only. For recording labels that don't already
include this in their standard contracts, they will soon -- and then
this new "label" will be out of luck. Of course, the reality is that
it's just a way for this company to get a little extra publicity for
these "unique" ringtones. Considering that part of the reason
ringtones are so popular, though, is that people recognize the songs
they represent, it makes you wonder if people really are that
interested in songs that are designed just to be ringtones. Seems
sort of like a niche market within a niche market.
Ringtone Hype
Ringtone Hype
12/11/2003 01:13 PMI've written before about the wireless carriers' current obsession
with ringtones. It appears to be a
booming
business, to the point that others are muscling in on the
carrier's turf by offering "non-authorized" ringtones or even the
ability to make your own ringtones (for a fee, of course). While it
may be good money in the short run, I still don't see how it's
sustainable. As mobile phone platforms are increasingly open and
standardized, ringtones will go through the same Napsterization
process, where many will be available for free. Meanwhile, I still
don't understand what's wrong with the good, old-fashioned vibrate
mode that doesn't bother anyone around you. However, the article does
mention the growing popularity of the
silent
ringtone that we wrote about last week. Apparently, it costs $2.
Incredible. We've reached the point where people are willing to pay
to have their mobile phone
not ring. Maybe the next step is
letting people pay to have
someone else's mobile phone not
ring. "My goodness is your ringtone annoying. Here's $2. Go buy
yourself a silent ringtone."

Recording Industry's Next Trick?
Killing Ringtone Sales
Recording Industry's Next Trick?
Killing Ringtone Sales
05/25/2004 02:49 PMIt's like watching a bad movie over and over again, each time a
somewhat promising market starts to open up for the recording
industry, they all do their best to kill it. Earlier today we saw how
they're looking to kill the promising market for
immed
iate live recordings of concerts, but now it looks like they may
be killing off ringtones. For the last year or so, ringtones have
been the surprising revenue generator for both mobile phone carriers
and the recording industry, and despite plenty of warning and
predictions that this market couldn't last, the recording industry
isn't known for their ability to understand how technology changes
will impact their business over time. Already we've seen applications
like
Xingtone
take the industry by surprise by daring to let users make
ringtones out of music they've legally purchased - and it won't be
long until ringtones are easily downloadable directly to mobile phones
via a Napster-like application (if it doesn't exist already). Still,
the music industry sees money, and are
increasing the royalty rates they charge for ringtones,
making them more expensive. In fact, ringtones that are mere snippets
of songs cost much more than actually downloading the full song from
any of the various download music stores out there. Of course, all
this will really do is drive more people to investigate alternatives
like Xingtone, and make the "market" for selling ringtones disappear
quite quickly. This was going to happen eventually no matter what, so
maybe, by raising prices, the industry is just speeding up the
process.
