Streamcast CEO Accuses Record Labels Of
Collusion 07/12/2004 04:24 AM
As the recording industry continues their pointless lawsuits to put the fear of litigation into the hearts of file sharers, it turns out that fil e sharing -- especially of music -- is on the upswing. Even worse, Streamcast's CEO is presenting evidence to Congress that the record labels have colluded to create a "blacklist" against any of the file sharing companies, telling other firms not to work with the major file sharing companies or risk problems from within the established industry. This, of course, wouldn't be a surprise, as the industry has been found guilty of such things in the past. Still, considering the type of entertainment-industry backed legislation that's been coming out of Congress these days, they seem mostly interested in investigating how to prop up a dying industry, rather than looking into how that industry is colluding to keep out competition.

Musicians Realizing They Don't Need
Record Labels To Sell Online 01/26/2004 06:27 PM
Lots of people have realized for quite some time that the recording industry isn't so much the "recording" industry, but rather the "CD distribution" industry. Their entire focus is on how to sell more tangible items that have music on it. That's part of the reason why they've had so much trouble figuring out the whole online music business. There's no tangible "thing" for them to sell, so it doesn't make sense to them. Now, however, it appears that some musicians are beginning to figure this out as well... and, as part of that, realizing they don't really need the record labels if they want to sell music online. Peter Gabriel and Brian Eno are launching a musician's "alliance" that would help musicians sell their music directly online without any record label involvement. It's an interesting idea, but it seems a little short on details at this point. Record labels are waking up to the fact that they need to do something about online music, even if they're not quite sure what that thing is. As such, expect them to do their best to lock up the digital rights to music from musicians as well. This isn't a problem if musicians want to ditch record labels altogether, but the labels are useful for promotional purposes. If the musicians can figure out a way to do that without the traditional record labels, then they're all set.

Charging for Groups

Charging for Groups 09/21/2004 10:14 AM

We discovered an intersting thing at 1UP.com - companies are willing to pay to get into the social networking space.

Whenever they hear about lots of people congragating - their ears perk up.

So Tony Perkins - and his AlwaysOn Network has decided to monetize that - and charge for Groups in it's Zaibatsu social network. The first one was announced yesterday - with Audi.

Here's the details:

We are pleased to announce that Audi of America is the first AlwaysOn Media Partner to launch its own Keiretsu on the AO network. AlwaysOn is the first media site to offer its partners a community building service that combines both blogging and social networking capabilities.

All AO members can join the Audi of America Keiretsu for FREE. It’s easy, so check it out!

http://audiamerica.alwayson-network.com

AO members who join the Audi of America’s Keiretsu will enjoy future special offers and privileges exclusive to members.

“Our new group social network and blog site on AlwaysOn provides Audi the unique opportunity to identify smart executives and entrepreneurs in the global Silicon Valley arena and gain their feedback and create a dialogue on technology trends in our industry,” said Jim McGough, Director of Audi America.

“Our new AO Keiretsu also allows Audi enthusiasts within the AlwaysOn
community to find and interact with each other. This kind of community building tool offers Audi an opportunity to target a market of smart executives in a way that has never been possible before.,” said Mr. McGough.

In the next couple of weeks, AlwaysOn is planning to roll-out additional Keiretsus on behalf of many of our other Media Partners including Sun Microsystems, KPMG, Quova, Porter Novelli and SupportSoft.

Commercial brands interested in launching their own AlwaysOn Keiretsu and learning more about our Media Partner Program should contact my partner Mike Sly at sly@alwayson-network.com.

AlwaysOn also offers related non-profits and trade associations the Keiretsu service for at no charge. To see if your group qualifies for the AO Keiretsu program, contact Brennan Igoe at brennan@alwayson-network.com.

As always, we look forward to any feedback on our new Keiretsu offering or any other service we provide. If you would like to make your comments public to other Ao members, check out my new post at:
