Plans to sell new hybrid CD/DVDs have hit legal and licensing snags that threaten to scuttle a mass rollout that the hard-hit music industry had been counting on to aid its recovery, people familiar with the matter said this week Record makers are enjoying a rebound after a three-year sales slump blamed largely on online piracy. Efforts to control piracy and the growth of legal Web music services like Apple Computer Inc.'s (AAPL.O: Quote, Profile, Research) iTunes have helped.

The labels also have spurred sales by packaging "bonus" DVDs with CDs. In February, several began test marketing the new hybrid discs -- CD on one side and DVD on the other. They see these "DualDiscs" as a next generation product that marries the booming market for DVDs with declining CDs. "It's not like the coming of the CD, but we did really well with them," said Greg Harrington, manager of Tower Records in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which took part in the test.

Record Industry Sues 754 for Internet
Song Swaps

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.

Filesharers respond to France's RIAA

Filesharers respond to France's RIAA 05/06/2004 07:00 PM
Last week, we posted news of a fuck-you to filesharers from France's equivalent to the RIAA: an extended middle finger, with the tagline "Free Music Has a Price."

Now, BoingBoing pal Jean-Luc sends us this "response logo" (shown at left) from a group of online freedom of speech advocates in France. The tagline? "Culture has no price / Don't buy any CDs." Weblogs throughout France are displaying the logo as a gesture of solidarity against the SNEP (Syndicat National de l'Edition Phonographique) anti-P2P campaign. "You sell us mediocre music at exorbitant prices," the banner exclaims in French, "Reduce the price of CDs, and start placing a higher priority on the quality of artists instead of the quantity of money you're cramming in your pockets." Sacre blog!

Computer industry to entertainment
industry: we lied (right on!)

Computer industry to entertainment
industry: we lied (right on!) 09/22/2004 02:18 AM
Cory Doctorow: This amazing open letter to the entertainment industry, signed by the computer industry, is a nigh-perfect expression of what constitutes a successful approach to Internet technology. And it made me laugh my ass off.

We lied to you. In the golden 80s and 90s we told you micropayments and content protection would work; that you would be able to charge minuscule amounts of money whenever someone listened to your music or watched your movie. We told you untruths which we well knew would never work - after all, we would've never used them ourselves. Instead, we wrote things like Kazaa and Gnutella, and all other evil P2P applications to get the stuff free.

We told you these things so that you would finance the things we really wanted to build, not the things that you wanted to be built. We knew all along that DRM schemes do not work, and we knew that whatever we create can be broken by us. We don't care anymore, because your money made us bigger than you.

Look at us: every year, we churn out more computer games than your entire industry is worth. You know how we do it? We like our customers. We don't treat them like potential criminals, and try to make our products do less. We invent new things like online role-playing -games, where the money does not come from duplication of bits (which cannot be stopped, regardless of your DRM scheme) but from providing experiences that the people want.

We saw that you were old and weak. So we took advantage of it: told you things that you wanted to hear so we could kick you in the head in twenty years. Some of us told you that the future is going to be interactive - what did you do? You started to think how to make interactive movies (CD-I, anyone?), which is not what it really means, while we wrote games and tried to understand the new mediums, not how to bolt it on onto old things.

We lied to you. And we apologize for that, but it was for the greater good. So we're not the least bit sorry.

Signed: The Computer Industry
