No - I use a special security device to prevent that - I make music people don't want to hear.

Music industry finds the solution to its pirate troubles - give everything away. 25m tracks will be available to download; big-name advertising to fund new services.

Nice PostScript, yeah?

 

[Pantone247]

Free downloads are supported by 10-second audio ads attached to the song.

I wonder are they stuck in the middle like ad breaks on telly

'we'll return to the chorus after these messages...'

seriously, if your annual big industry meet up is in CANNES, fucking CANNES, your business probably isn't as fucked up a you like telling people it is

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

cannes is a dump

When your business has absolutely no way of making any money at all, there's always the advertising option.

"... and every time a person types the letter P, the typewriter could type out Pepsi (or another big brand beginning with the letter P".

It claimed songs would be culled from the same peer-to-peer networks such as LimeWire and Gnutella that brought the industry to its knees, but filtered so viruses and spoof tracks are eradicated

What. The. Fuck. How is this going to work?

"Will 'they' find Gram Pasrons at the Dark End of The Street? Will he have to pay for the love he stole? And what should his lover do if by chance they are both down the town? Find out, after the break...."

joking asise, it's the stupidist idea ever, if this is the best they come up with they deserve to go out of of business

Thanks, industry dudes, for filtering out the spoof tracks that you put there in the first place. Genius.

“I am convinced it is no longer a question of whether the ISPs act – the question is when and how,” IFPI chairman John Kennedy writes in a foreword to the report.
“More than anyone else in 2007, our industry has to thank French President Nicolas Sarkozy and the Chairman of FNAC Denis Olivennes for the change of mood.”
“It takes the protection of intellectual property online into new territory, requiring ISPs to disconnect copyright infringers on a large scale, using an automated system and to test filtering technologies," writes Kennedy. He also cited the Sabam-Tiscali case in June, in which the ISP was ordered to monitor its network for infringing material. In France, households found infringing will have their broadband disconnected.

The IFPI report argues that since broadband ISPs already filter their networks for email spam, they should be able to filter them for infringing material, too. However with the popular BitTorrent clients now using encryption by default, the law would require a presumption of guilt to be shifted onto the suspect. Distinguishing between legal and illegal exchanges in an encrypted stream is extremely difficult.

IFPI estimates digital revenues rose by $800m to $2.9bn in 2007, or from 11 to 15 per cent of total sound recording revenues. Overall, the report highlights that growing licensed digital revenues are failing to balance the fall in physical CD sales. Mobile accounts for around a third of the digital revenue in markets such as USA, Germany and the UK – mostly in the form of master tones – and an amazing 91 per cent of digital revenues in Japan. The report cites Universal Music's Rob Wells as describing the singles market as reaching late 1980s volumes, thanks to mobile downloads and ringtones. Subscription accounts for just 5 per cent of digital sales.

If ISP actually start to monitor traffic over their networks for copyright violations they put themselves in the postition of being liable for any copyright infringement.

I can't see them actually going for this no matter ho much lip service thay pay to it.

The babysitter brings over a bag of DVDs to keep the kids quiet; you organise a singalong at the pub; you make a mix tape as part of an awkward teenaged mating ritual: all these uses fall on the wrong side of copyright law unless they are preceded by a complex legal dance of the sort that mere mortals rarely even glimpse, let alone partake of.

He scorned the idea that the demand for the internet came from innocent activity. "Kids won't pay $25 a month for broadband if they just want to share their photos, do their homework and email their friends."
