Downloading files down sharply: new
study
Downloading files down sharply: new
study
01/06/2004 01:02 PM
Americans are downloading fewer files from the
internet, according to a new
report from the Pew
Internet and American Life Project .
The study, conducted with
comScore Media Metrix , found that the number of people downloading files has dropped by nearly one half.
The number of peer-to-peer file-sharing applications running on
computers has declined as well.
A new nationwide phone survey of 1,358 Internet users from November
18-December 14 by the Pew Internet & American Life Project showed
that the percentage of music file downloaders had fallen to 14% (about
18 million users) from 29% (about 35 million) when the Project last
reported on downloading from a survey conducted during March 12-19 and
April 29-May 20. On an average day during the spring survey, 4% of
Internet users said they downloaded files. In the November-December
survey just 1% said they were downloading files on any given day
during the survey period.
The recording industry's subpoena
campaign played a role in the decisions. Conversely, legitimate
downloading services have seen increased usage, such as iTunes and college-linked
Napster 2.0 . Additionally, alternative filesharing applications may be on the rise.

New Yorker magazine story on Egypt (full text online from
link) contains the following passage:
Ibrahim taught Arabic literature at Berkeley in 1998, an experience
that evidently did not suit him. “I despised the total individualism,
the control of multinationals, the manipulation of the media over the
ordinary person, the values of life, just living to eat, drink, fuck,
have a car, and that’s all,” he said. “There are no moral values, no
broad-minded attitudes toward life in general or a sense of what is
happening in the world, no sense of the role America is playing in
trying to control the resources of the world.” Perhaps what irked him
most, he said, was “the genuine stupidity of the normal American
citizen. He is ignorant. He doesn’t know what his own country is doing
in the world. The U.S. is following the same policy of racism as the
Nazis. Do I really have to explain something to you that is so well
known everywhere?”
Ibrahim's "genuine stupidity" observation certainly adds some
weight to the Bell Curve thesis (see below). But
suffering through the horrible weather here in Boston as I do mostly
it cheers me to find out that there is anyone who manages to resist
the lures of California.
[The very last part of the article is also worth reading, about an
Egyptian kid who believes himself involved in a "clash of
civilizations" where the West is trying to destroy Islam. A big
fan of September 11th and Al-Qaeda, he is confident that Islam will
destroy the West first, which seems odd. The belief system holds
simultaneously that (a) the U.S. is completely immoral, (b) the U.S.
is involved in a kill-or-be-killed war to the death with Muslims, and
(c) the U.S. won't simply unload its warehouses full of nuclear
weapons on the heads of Egyptians, et al. If the U.S. were truly
as evil as these guys say, W. and Co. would just use our leftover
nukes to kill all the people in every country where Al-Qaeda recruits
and then come back a few years later to pump out the oil. And
yet the fact that they are still alive and well in Cairo would
seem to demonstrate that the U.S. is not completely immoral. You
would think that, at a minimum, the U.S. and W. would get credit from
"the Arab Street" for the continued existence of "the Arab
Street."]

Harvard hosts a debate on whether or not

04/09/2004 04:11 PMApropos the mournful postings below on the state of IT... On
Wednesday May 19 Harvard at 12:30 Eastern Time is hosting a debate on the question "Does IT
Matter?" I plan to attend (via telephone). Because it
is the business school the debate is priced for those who are already
rich and/or work for the rich. And because it is the business
school the focus of the debate is probably going to be "does IT matter
to profit-seeking corporations?" I might try to get a few words
in edgewise about how IT might be more transformative for poor
countries than for rich countries. In the U.S. we have
magnificent roads, stores everywhere, and seemingly 3 SUVs per
citizen. So being able to do a transaction electronically isn't
that much of a time-saver. Someone in the Third World who has to
ride a chicken bus over a terrible road for an entire day is going to
appreciate being able to do a transaction from his local Internet cafe
a lot more than someone who only saved a 10-minute ride in his
Cadillac Escalade.

Warner Music Tries (And Fails) To Make

Warner Music Tries (And Fails) To Make
Friends With Music Bloggers
08/16/2004 06:48 AMMP3 blogs have been getting a lot of attention lately. The blogs,
which usually focus on certain genres of music with the idea to
highlight or expose certain new or obscure acts to a wider audience
are growing in popularity. They often post an entire MP3 as well.
However, it appears that some of the attention directed at these blogs
made it to some executives at Warner Brothers Records. In a moment of
enlightenment (considering typical record company reaction), instead
of trying to shut these sites down, they decided to see what would
happen if they embraced them. Someone from Warner
contacted a number of
these blogs, including an MP3 from a band they wanted to promote.
This is somewhat surprising, as many of the sites certainly expected
to get sued before they received MP3s from a major label. Still, the
effort had its problems. The musician had already been featured
months ago on some of the sites, and didn't fit at all with the focus
of some of the other sites. Plus, the fear of looking like record
company lackeys didn't appeal to many of the sites. Even worse,
though, was that on the one site that did post the tracks, a number of
out-of-place comments began appearing talking about how "awesome" the
band was. A quick check of the IP addresses of the posters, though,
showed they came from... Warner Brothers. So, while it's really great
that they're actually trying to embrace these sorts of promotions,
they still need to learn a thing or two about dealing with bloggers.
Still, it's clearly a step forward from an industry that hasn't made
many steps in that direction recently.

Under the terms of some of the deals, the prices for some of the
most popular singles could rise to $1.25, according to sources
familiar with the negotiations. Songs have previously been priced at
99 cents across the board.
And, apparently, album
prices will rise even higher than the CDs cost in stores. Now there's
a way to encourage buyers.
Let's see. Charging more on a medium where the manufacturing costs are
zero -- now that's a way to encourage sales. Brilliant.
