Koleman Strumpf, the co-author of the first-ever empirical study on the impact of file-sharing on record sales, has found himself on the receiving end of a withering attack from the music industry who argue that their bought-and-paid-for, non-empirical "research" trumps his analysis, attacking his conclusions.

Two years ago, Strumpf and Oberholzer-Gee set out to research the matter. Strumpf's interest was piqued by the Napster trial, where the recording industry alleged copyright violations that led to the demise of the pioneering Web site in 2001. In the testimony, experts argued that music downloads had to be the cause of slumping sales.

Strumpf read the studies they cited. They were horrible, he said.

"I was like, 'Boy, this is pretty amazing,' " said Strumpf, a Philadelphia native. "Nobody has done a serious study."

Coming just as the head of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) is claiming that the recording industry needs a "zero tolerance" attitude on file sharing, a 30-year veteran of the music industry is opening his mind to the possibilities and admitting that file sharing appears to have some benefits to the industry. Andy Taylor, who heads the Sanctuary Group, a company that seems to do a variety of things in the music industry including representing various artists and record labels, was quoted saying: "Sharing music is not necessarily a bad thing." He points out that it's a good way for people to investigate what's out there, figure out what they like, and then go and buy it. "They (teenagers) don't have the money, so they will only spend what money they have on something they really, really care about." Fairly stunning to hear this from a recording industry exec. However, he doesn't seem to fully get it. He still complains about "those who have no intention ever of spending money on music," saying that they're the real pirates. They're not, though. If they have no intention of ever spending any money on music than they're certainly not taking away any money from the industry. The industry wouldn't have gotten it either way. In fact, by letting those people listen to music, it's possible that the industry can change those listeners' minds. In listening to the free music, those who had no intention of spending may find certain musicians interesting enough to want to go out and see them, for instance.

A federal appeals court rules that makers of two leading file-sharing programs are not legally liable for the copyrighted works their users swap online. The decision is likely to force the industry to take the more costly and less popular route of going directly after file-swappers.

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]

Record Industry Sues 754 for Internet
Song Swaps 12/19/2004 03:11 PM
A recording industry trade group said Thursday that it has filed another wave of lawsuits against 754 people it suspects of distributing songs over the Internet without permission. The Recording Industry Association of America has now sued more than 7,000 people for distributing its songs over "peer to peer" networks like eDonkey and Kazaa, in an effort to discourage the online song copying that it believes has cut into CD sales.

The RIAA typically settles copyright infringement suits for around $5,000 each. Despite more than a year of headline-grabbing lawsuits, peer-to-peer use has not declined. An average of 7.5 million users were logged on to peer-to-peer networks in November 2004, up from 4.4 million in November 2003, according to the research firm BigChampagne.
