Music Industry Exec Defends Some File
Sharing 01/23/2004 07:37 PM
Coming just as the head of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) is claiming that the recording industry needs a "zero tolerance" attitude on file sharing, a 30-year veteran of the music industry is opening his mind to the possibilities and admitting that file sharing appears to have some benefits to the industry. Andy Taylor, who heads the Sanctuary Group, a company that seems to do a variety of things in the music industry including representing various artists and record labels, was quoted saying: "Sharing music is not necessarily a bad thing." He points out that it's a good way for people to investigate what's out there, figure out what they like, and then go and buy it. "They (teenagers) don't have the money, so they will only spend what money they have on something they really, really care about." Fairly stunning to hear this from a recording industry exec. However, he doesn't seem to fully get it. He still complains about "those who have no intention ever of spending money on music," saying that they're the real pirates. They're not, though. If they have no intention of ever spending any money on music than they're certainly not taking away any money from the industry. The industry wouldn't have gotten it either way. In fact, by letting those people listen to music, it's possible that the industry can change those listeners' minds. In listening to the free music, those who had no intention of spending may find certain musicians interesting enough to want to go out and see them, for instance.

A federal appeals court rules that makers of two leading file-sharing programs are not legally liable for the copyrighted works their users swap online. The decision is likely to force the industry to take the more costly and less popular route of going directly after file-swappers.

Shocker: Entertainment Industry Worried
About File Sharing 01/04/2005 03:17 PM
In what may be the most pointless study done in quite some time, a research firm has determined that (no! really?!?) entertainment industry executives are worried about "digital piracy." The study also found that many feel it's already impacting their bottom line. Of course, what it doesn't say is that just because they're afraid of something, doesn't mean it's bad. This is the same industry that was once deathly afraid of the VCR and claimed it would completely destroy the movie industry -- when it actually revived an industry that was in trouble. Also, just because something impacts your bottom line, it doesn't mean it's bad. The automobile business impacted the horse and buggy industry, but most people realized that was a good thing in the long run. If the horse and buggy makers had realized they were in the "transportation business" and not the "horse and buggy business," they would have made out better. All it means is that the companies impacted need to learn to adjust to the changes they face in the market. So far, however, the entertainment industry hasn't shown the ability to do that with these latest changes. Instead of realizing what the "entertainment industry" really means, executives think that they're in the business of selling content on a specific medium (CDs, film etc.) rather than realizing that what they can provide encompasses a much broader picture, which opens up many new opportunities, beyond just selling individual units.

Canadian Recording Industry Appeals File
Sharing Ruling

Canadian Recording Industry Appeals File
Sharing Ruling 07/12/2004 07:26 PM
Not much of a surprise, but the Canadian recording industry (with the movie industry playing the role of the enthusiastic partner right behind them) is appealing the ruling from earlier this year saying that ISPs don't have to reveal the names of customers to the recording industry just because they've put unauthorized copyrighted material in a shareable folder. In that case, the judge pointed out that just because someone has placed a file in a shared folder, there is no evidence they actually shared the file, and, thus, the recording industry has no proof a crime was committed. The recording industry disagrees, claiming the judge misinterpreted the law. In fact, the Canadian recording industry claims that "the computer user is inviting others to copy or burn the tracks" by putting them into a shared folder. Unfortunately, this sounds eerily similar to the whole point of the INDUCE Act here in the US -- where it will suddenly be a crime to tempt others to commit a crime.

With the option to re-record them while they are played, Tunebite legally provides the user with new music files without restrictions. This ensures that music bought from Apple iTunes, Sony Connect, AOL or other music platforms in the Internet can be played back and listened to from everywhere. [PRWEB Sep 13, 2004]

File-sharing Goes Social

File-sharing Goes Social 01/07/2004 02:52 PM
The RIAA has taken us on a tour of networking strategies in the last few years, by constantly changing the environment file-sharing systems operate in. In hostile environments, organisms often adapt to become less energetic but harder to kill, and so it is now. With the RIAA's waves of legal attacks driving experimentation with decentralized file-sharing tools, file-sharing networks have progressively traded efficiency for resistance to legal attack.

The RIAA has slowly altered the environment so that relatively efficient systems like Napster were killed, opening up a niche for more decentralized systems like Gnutella and Kazaa. With their current campaign against Kazaa in full swing, we are about to see another shift in network design, one that will have file sharers adopting tools originally designed for secure collaboration in a corporate setting. - More at http://www.shirky.com/writings/file-sharing_social.html

The latest Pew study says that 14% of American internet users claim they've stopped downloading music, but that the number of people downloading has been steadily growing again over the last few months. The study has a few problems, however. First, it's all based on asking people about their activities, and considering the publicity campaign, it's easy to imagine a heavy file sharer saying they don't download any music because they don't want to risk opening themselves up to a lawsuit. Furthermore, the study does not appear to distinguish between what kind of music is being "downloaded." They seem to lump together downloading unauthorized files, using paid download stores like iTunes, or even legitimate downloads directly from a musician's own website.

eDonkey announced on Tuesday that its peer-to-peer file-sharing software is coming to Mac OS X. Previously, Mac support was available only through a text-based command line interface in the software. eDonkey links every client on the network with each other, allowing them to search within both the entire network and a subset of it. Users can also download files from multiple users simultaneously and automatically continue interrupted downloads during their next session, in addition to the ability to send private messages to other users. The eDonkey application is not finalized for Mac OS X yet, but you can download a Beta of either the free or paid version from the developer's Web site. Both require Mac OS X v10.2 or higher and 64MB RAM; the free version has limited features and displays ads when you use it.

Verizon Wireless said it will introduce its 3G service to 11 markets starting next week: In what appears to be a direct hit against Wi-Fi, Verizon also said it would launch its EV-DO service in 20 airports around the country. A recent report from TeleAnalytics showed that the use of Wi-Fi in airports has grown by more than 350 percent in a six-month period. It appears that Verizon is looking to capture a bit of that demand for wireless Internet access. However, its service still costs $80 a month while most Wi-Fi access charges are significantly less....

This fall, a couple of popular routes out of Seattle will get the service. The networks include a switch and APs from Chantry Networks. The ferry system expects to charge for the service and they can likely expect a good number of customers. Glenn reported that the boats that will initially have the service carry 12 million passenger trips per year. One of the routes, Seattle to Bremerton, is a 60 minute passage. Commuters who make the trip each day will likely be willing to pay to be productive during their two hours on the boat every day....

The Wall Street Journal says T-Mobile near signing a roaming agreement (link good for 7 days): The article reports that roaming is starting to become an inevitability. I'm curious whether T-Mobile envisions a model in which there is fee settlement across networks, or it's free roaming. The TeliaSonera model cited in the article involves one bill, one account, but usage fees outside of the home network range of Finland and Sweden and certain TeliaSonera-operated hotspots in other Scandinavian countries. I stand by my prediction: within a year, all U.S. networks will have substantial inter-network roaming agreements that will allow unlimited usage by subscribers for $30 per month or less. The marginal but vital additional value of Wi-Fi will enhance cellular and landline businesses, and possibly that of wired ISPs, but it won't have the standalone value that some misguided souls believe it does today....
