09/22/2004 09:13 PMThe music download business has been very good to the labels. For the
stores, it's another story altogether.
Time To Drop Song Download Costs
Time To Drop Song Download Costs
09/20/2004 03:07 PMWe've been
waiting
patiently for the inevitable price war to break out in the online
music download store world, but so far it's (mostly) held up due to
the high fees the recording industry continues to charge. Now,
Newsweek's tech columnist Steven Levy, is pointing out that
if the
recording industry dropped their fees, they'd sell a lot more
music. He thinks that sooner or later, the industry has to
realize that they'll do even better if prices are cheaper. He points
to Real Networks' experience (which is a bit skewed since it was a
promotional plan) in dropping the price by half -- but which allowed
them to sell
six times as many songs. If this ratio were to
hold (a big "if" obviously, since it assumes people will spend more
overall) then the industry would end up making a lot more money by
cutting their price -- but, instead, of course, they're all looking
for ways to
raise
prices or force people to buy bad songs to get good songs.

Understand?
Just How Much Do The Music Labels Not
Understand?
05/04/2004 02:29 AMLast month we wrote about how the music industry was, inexplicably,
looking to (a) raise prices on digital downloads and (b) force people
to
buy a
bad song to get a good song. They clearly have no clue that
they're basically killing the one, very minor, success they've had in
the world of digital downloads. Now, even folks in mainstream
magazines like Newsweek are
screaming about how the labels
just don't get it. Steven Levy takes a look at a number of
downloadable albums that cost
more than their CDs, while giving
the user less (one of the CDs comes with a DVD as well). He also
can't believe that the industry hasn't pushed to make downloadable
songs play on a variety of devices, as that would
encourage
more people to buy. However, the folks who run the labels
don't get it. They only look at digital downloads and see
piracy. They are blind to the idea that it might be an opportunity,
and thus they have no real reason to come up with reasons to encourage
it. Of course, all this really does is push end-users to seek less
than legal alternatives.

Music Labels Focus On Ringtones
Music Labels Focus On Ringtones
08/18/2004 05:22 AMIt appears that the music labels, rather than actually looking to
figure out how they're going to deal with this digital music issue,
are, instead, simply walking naively into the next mess. Since they
haven't quite figured out really how to make downloadable music work
yet (though, they keep hoping they have) they're turning to the new
revenue source they never expected: ringtones. They've suddenly
noticed that kids are paying $2.50 for a fragment of a song they won't
pay a $1 to download completely, which leads to things like
Warner
Brothers actually advertising ringtones rather than the
regular music itself. WB is now specifically advertising ringtones
from the next Green Day album, including the lovely one with a member
of the band saying: "It's your mother. I know. She's with me." It's
no surprise that the labels are focusing on this market, given the
basic economics, but they seem to be doing so under the assumption
that they won't face the same problem they faced with file sharing.
In fact, with the release of things like Xingtone, the labels are
going to have
increasing
difficulty holding onto this market. But rather than figuring out
ways to deal with it, they're just jumping on a bandwagon while it's
hot. It's a short term strategy from the ultimate short-term
thinkers.

Music labels should be celebrating the
Grokster decision
Music labels should be celebrating the
Grokster decision
08/23/2004 06:36 AMCory Doctorow: Jim Griffin, founder of the Pho
music/tech mailing list, weighs in with an impressive and passionate
email about the P2P-legalizing Grokster decision and what it means for
music labels.
Here's why you should applaud today's decision: It brings us closer to
monetizing peered sharing and putting real money in the pockets of
artists, labels, publishers, and other rights holders. How? Because it
moves them one step closer to the correct judgment, which is that it
is now impractical and inefficient to control the quantity and destiny
of digits -- especially so those that carry mass media like music --
in the increasingly friction-free world of digitization. When that
judgment is drawn, service licensing begins. Until that judgment is
drawn, product-based control continues in vain. Publishers long ago
accepted technology and license it today -- they licensed Napster --
and their revenues are climbing; sound recording companies continue to
resist every new technology and refuse to license, and their revenues
are falling. This decision will benefit the music business the same
way getting arrested for drunk driving benefits an alcoholic,
summoning forth the day of reckoning and hastening rehabilitation.
This judgment doesn't destroy distribution -- it enables licensing.
How? It reminds one of the parties in the licensing battle that one of
the vines it was relying upon to to cling to the past will no longer
be viable. Hyper-efficient delivery destroys distribution, meaning
that the just-in-time delivery of digits will eventually destroy their
distribution entirely. That is a ways off, but from what I'm hearing
back-channel it is not too far off, as Apple prepares its tiny
wireless iPod with no hard-drive but enhanced Wi-Max
(metropolitan-wide high-bandwidth wireless) connectivity; it won't
destroy downloading over night, but it will take a whack at its market
share, and slowly but surely shift the market away from
distribution/downloading and towards delivery/streaming.

Music Labels To Use New Copy Protection
To Prevent CD Burning
Music Labels To Use New Copy Protection
To Prevent CD Burning
06/02/2004 10:10 AMAs if anyone didn't see this one coming... The various music labels
are now experimenting with new copy protection technology on (what
they'd still like to call) CDs that would
limit the number of times you
could burn a copy of the CD. Basically, they'll now be spending
more money (which will be passed on to consumers) to make sure the
product you buy does less. Doesn't seem like the greatest of business
strategies, but the industry isn't known for its longterm thinking.
In the meantime, it will take less than a day for the real
counterfeiters to get around this technology, and the only people who
will actually be inconvenienced are people trying to burn a copy for
fair use, who will suddenly find they can't do what is perfectly legal
to do.
