Harvard's Berkman Center submitted a friend-of-the-court brief in the case of Capital Records, et al. v.

This case requires balancing rights of copyright holders, who allege harms caused by the distribution of their songs on peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing networks, with protections for individual consumers accused of copying...

Sharing Music Is A Cultural Thing

Sharing Music Is A Cultural Thing 04/04/2005 06:22 AM
This seems somewhat obvious, of course, but it's still worth mentioning. Just as some are noticing that MGM seems to have accidentally admitted that ripping your own CDs is perfectly legal, Wired Magazine is running a piece from a Sonic Youth member talking about the importance of shared mix tapes in his life, and how it's a cultural thing that has nothing to do with "stealing," but it's more about the music and what it means to people. "Once again, we're being told that home taping (in the form of ripping and burning) is killing music. But it's not: It simply exists as a nod to the true love and ego involved in sharing music with friends and lovers. Trying to control music sharing - by shutting down P2P sites or MP3 blogs or BitTorrent or whatever other technology comes along - is like trying to control an affair of the heart. Nothing will stop it."

Personal Area Music Sharing

Personal Area Music Sharing 12/04/2003 10:41 AM
Just a couple of weeks ago we wrote about the idea of jacking into other people's iPods to see what they were listening to. I'm still skeptical that this really happens on a regular basis, but some researchers at MIT's Media Lab Europe are experimenting with a system that would make such things much easier and much more user friendly. Basically, they're creating tools to let your music player see who else was around, and listen in on their playlists. The idea is to find others on the same WiFi access point, and then your music player gives you the option of listening to your own music or listening to anyone else's. Of course, this means that you need to hope that person stays within range of the same access point or that station will fade out... The work is just at the research stage and they have no idea if they'll ever commercialize it. They're building their own music player to test it out, but say they're also making software that should run on a variety of wireless PDAs and mobile phones as well (though, they seem a bit unsure how they'll handle finding "local" users over a cellular connection). Still, the idea is that it's a way to expand the options of what you can listen to on your digital music player by seeing the "personal radio stations" of anyone around you (including any descriptive message they leave for you). The program also has some instant messaging capabilities so you can communicate with the person and tell them how much you like/hate their playlist or maybe even make requests. Of course, if this ever became popular the RIAA would probably get upset. It doesn't allow for downloads, only streaming, but the RIAA would still probably classify it as a "broadcast," meaning that anyone using the technology would probably be told they need to pay the basic webcasting fees that the RIAA set up recently.

Online music service starts price war in
Canada 01/04/2005 12:56 PM
The battle for market share between online music services is heating up in Canada with Puretracks.com recently cutting prices on selected songs by 20 percent. A report in the Financial Post today says Puretracks.com's sale is on specific titles offered by Universal Music, including hot sellers and CDs on the year-end lists of music critics. Albums are being offered at $7.99, with individual songs priced at 79 cents. Apple's iTunes and Napster, which also operates Canadian services, did not respond to calls yesterday, according to the report. Both charge a base price of 99 cents per song and $9.99 an album. Price competition for online music has occurred more regularly in the United States, which also has more companies battling for market share. For example, iTunes charges US99 cents per track, while Wal-Mart Stores Inc. charges US88 cents and Real Networks Inc.'s Rhapsody service charges as little as US79 cents.

MIT shuts down student music-sharing
service 11/04/2003 01:58 AM

A week after it was launched by two students , the Massachusetts Institute of Technology pulled the Library Access to Music Project ( LAMP ) so that disagreements about licensing rights could be resolved.

The service was built within MIT's cable network , and took advantage of ambiguities and differences between analog and digital formats. The Universal Music Group took issue with the service, but, according to The New York Times ,

M.I.T....stressed that the system 'was designed to operate in full compliance with the law and to respect the rights of all copyright holders.'

However, disagreements about the nature of the agreement between the Harry Fox Agency , representing artists, and Loudeye , who sold the students digital files, have caused MIT to suspend LAMP until their resolution.

Wired Gets Musicians To Release Music
For Sharing 09/20/2004 04:56 AM
It's not really much more than a publicity stunt, but Wired Magazine has convinced 16 artists (some of whom are signed to major label contracts) to contribute tracks to a compilation CD that has been released under a Creative Commons license. As the article admits, the only difference on the CD is a "legal" one -- that people are free to share the music on the CD. The "big" names on the CD are David Byrne and the Beastie Boys. While it should get a bit of publicity for Creative Commons, it's not entirely clear if this does all that much to further the discussion about music sharing. The real innovation in the industry is coming from the new music labels that realize the music is just one element of what a musician has to offer, and that the music can be used for promotion, rather than as a good to be sold.

Direct and Related Links for 'Creative Commons Music Sharing License'

In a move that caught me a bit off guard, Garageband.com now offering the Creative Commons Music Sharing License as an option for any music being uploaded to their website. The big stipulation to this states that fans can do whatever they wish with the music, just so long as it is not for commercial gain. Seems pretty reasonable to me….

Music industry smears file-sharing
research 04/14/2004 09:06 AM
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."
