Bollywood Signs Up For Kazaa Movie

Bollywood Signs Up For Kazaa Movie
Downloads... But Not Really
12/23/2003 05:39 PMThere have been a few stories about "legitimate" companies doing deals
with Kazaa, but once you get past the headline, you realize that it's
not true at all. Just like all those other deals the headlines
trumpeting a deal between some
some Bollywood film makers and
Kazaa isn't really about Kazaa at all. Instead, it's a deal with
Kazaa's sister company Altnet, which runs a service within Kazaa to
distribute approved copy protected content. So, this isn't at all
about film makers understanding the promotional value of free
downloads, but rather them trying to piggyback copy protection (in
this case files that supposedly "self-destruct" after a single $3
viewing) on the popularity of Kazaa. The deal isn't even that good.
$3 for a product that self-destructs after a single viewing? You get
a better deal going to the local video store. Meanwhile, though, they
get all the publicity of having the film "offered on Kazaa". All
Altnet is really doing is bolting a pay-for service (like iTunes) into
Kazaa. It doesn't leverage the real benefits of a distributed file
sharing network at all.

Bollywood gambles on P2P
Bollywood gambles on P2P
12/23/2003 02:10 PMIn the UK
Guardian today:
Bollywood movie fans will soon be able to download full-length
features with the file-sharing software Kazaa. A deal struck between
a partner of Sharman Networks Ltd, the company which owns Kazaa, and
IndiaFM.com, a popular entertainment site, will allow Indian film
producers to distribute movies, music and other large, rich media
files online to an estimated 60 million international Kazaa users.
The move follows a pilot scheme in November when Bollywood thriller
Supari was offered for sale at US $2.99 and promoted through Kazaa
prior to its release in India. The file was designed to self destruct
after being watched and could not be copied.

MP3: Don't Stop 'til you Get to
Bollywood
04/13/2004 11:17 AM
A few days ago,
Jonno pointed me to a
Bollywood-flavored remake of Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop Til You Get
Enough," which he found on a supercool sekrit MP3 blog that shall
remain nameless. This track is phat. This track is funky. This track
makes me want to do a little dance in my
ergonomic
chair. A little google-digging reveals the song is by a group
called the Bollywood Freaks, and came out on a limited edition red
vinyl 7" in the UK. I want to send them money for the funk they
provide. I want more of their music. If anyone has info,
cough it up.
But for now -- look! Someone dumped a copy of said funky track on a
server somewhere. Download the MP3 while it lasts. Link

Sweeter than a mouthful of

lebi. David Boyk says:
"While I was supposed to be studying for finals, I made a mix CD to
introduce dubious Westerners to Bollywood. That didn't waste enough
time, so I also made a big web site that has all the tracks from the
CD, plus some more, and a lot of other information to explain
Bollywood movies and music, and also to help a bit with language."
Far from a waste of time, David's terrific site includes a "bollywood
for dummies" primer, and a very helpful list of common Hindi words
you'll encounter. As for the MP3s, man -- there are some serious
gems in here, in particular the rockin' 1960s numbers.

BoingBoing reader
Vishal points us to a spectacularly
cheesy Indian TV ad starring yet another one of my
fut
ure husbands (look, any fella who eschews SMS for pigeon as
preferred love-note carrier is alright by me).
Vishal says, "This Ad is really popular in India, and I was surprised
to find that the good people at Coke have it online too (RealPlayer).
It features one of the hottest young actors in Bollywood, Vivek Oberoi, and features
many in-jokes to '70s Bollywood films (note, especially, the lightbulb
dress in the 3rd segment, a direct lift from a classic 70's movie)."
Footnote to menswear trendwatchers: take a tip from Vivek, at left --
pink vomit prints are the new black.
Update: BoingBoing reader Berklee totally
harshes my mellow by saying, "Excellent choice for a future husband,
but you'll have to wait until he's done with Aishwarya Rai, I'm afraid.
Meanwhile, I recommend [a 2002 film starring Oberoi titled] Company. Go rent it
(or download it) and enjoy this un-Bollywood-like gangster-movie!"

11/13/2003 12:21 PMKazaa has inked a deal to simultaneously distribute a theatrically

"The Bollywood movie market is growing at twice the rate of Hollywood,
in terms of production and revenue. This is where the benefits of P2P
technology become really clear," Sharman CEO Nikki Hemming said in a
statement. "P2P technology offers the movie industry a huge
opportunity to massively enhance its distribution and generate
revenue."

1 Million Free Songs for Download
1 Million Free Songs for Download
07/29/2004 03:28 PMIn my experience, most of the RIAA-hating nerds who swear they'll
never to buy another album again continue to download copyrighted,
RIAA-financed music from less-than-legal sources (and I've done it,
too, so simmer down). What's crazy, though, is that if you
really don't want to bend any laws, there is a wealth of free
music online -- and The Red Ferret Journal just set up a Wiki (a
user-edited web page) to make it even easier. There are hundreds of
thousands of freely downloadable songs on the websites listed (some of
them are even not techno) and thousands more non-RIAA-backed
labels selling songs, too -- so if you really want to fill up that
iPod without "stealing music," you do have an option to do
so.
Mainly, though, I just wanted you to feel extra guilty when you
download RIAA music anyway.
