gladwell dot com - priced to sell

  • The only iron law here is the one too obvious to write a book about, which is that the digital age has so transformed the ways in which things are made and sold that there are no iron laws.

Bytes and Bullets (washingtonpost.com)

  • I'm a strong opponent of this legislation, but not because I support copyright infringement.
  • The technologies being attacked by this bill have plenty of important uses that have nothing to do with copyright infringement.

FT.com / Comment & analysis / Comment - Creatives face a closed Net

  • My kid couldn’t get into college till we sent them his AMVs. Now he’s a freshman at a university he never dreamed he could attend.”
  • “Now that you’ve succeeded in stopping thousands of kids from spending hundreds of thousands of hours to make fantastically creative content that promotes your work for free, do you really expect to sell more records next year?”

The Inevitable March of Recorded Music Towards Free

  • 2007 is turning out to be a terrible year for the music industry. Or rather, a terrible year for the the music labels.


    The DRM walls are crumbling. Music CD sales continue to plummet rather alarmingly. Artists like Prince and Nine Inch Nails are flouting their labels and either giving music away or telling their fans to steal it. Another blow earlier this week: Radiohead, which is no longer controlled by their label, Capitol Records, put their new digital album on sale on the Internet for whatever price people want to pay for it.

  • Users will be encouraged (even paid, as radio stations are today) to download, listen to and share music. Passionate users who download music from the Internet and share it with others will become the most important customers, not targets for ridiculous lawsuits.

Darknet: Interview: Andy Wolfe, former CTO, ReplayTV

  • [The Hollywood studios] essentially wanted to control what anyone could record on TV. They wanted sole discretion over how long you could keep a show after you recorded it. They wanted to limit how many episodes of the same show you could record. They wanted to ban thirty-second skip buttons and to prevent fast forward from reaching a certain speed. — Andy Wolfe

Darknet: Story: The tech and CE industries get cozy with Hollywood

  • In this conflict, too often the press has failed to ask hard questions. Will the new wave of restrictions being imposed on law-abiding Americans (described in subsequent chapters) do anything at all to thwart determined pirates? Is the trade-off worth the price? Will home-brew culture be enabled, or will the locks placed on digital devices to prevent piracy also prevent us from adapting media for personal use?
  • But increasingly, high tech is becoming a less reliable advocate for the public. Three reasons for that. First, growing media consolidation has muddied the waters.

Darknet: Concept: darknets

  • The researchers defined darknets as “a collection of networks and technologies used to share digital content.” But that's techie talk. They really were referring to the vast, gathering, lawless economy of shared music, movies, television shows, games, software, and porn—a one-touch jukebox that would rival the products and services of the entertainment companies.
  • The best way companies can fight darknet piracy, they said, is by offering affordable, convenient, compelling products and services. In other words, the most effective copy protection system is a great business model.
