So why is a Google music search in China cool but not for the rest of us?

March 31, 2009

I’m kinda surprised that the fact that Google will be providing a music search with the blessing of over a 140 plus music labels, including the Big 4, in China but the rest of us have to watch from the sidelines hasn’t gotten wider traction. Sure there are alternatives, for as long as they [...]

So, This Is What You Get For Being Honest

September 27, 2008

While those bastions of the music and video entertainment continue to persue both locking down their products with draconian methods and letting their various lobbying trade associations practice being SWAT teams the people who try to be honest are getting royally screwed. EA is using SecureROM as part of the security measures for their newest game Spore which is leading them into a SonyBMG like class action lawsuit. Each of the major players with online music stores that have been blessed by the music industry each have their own DRM methods of locking down something you have tried to be honest and pay for.

The problem is that by trying to play the game and be honest you are leaving yourself open to being ripped off in some fashion or another. This isn’t even taking into account the various methods used to maximize entertainment industry profits by geotarding online services like Pandora or even the industry’s own glowing example of technology being done right - NBC’s Hulu.

Turns out though that Jemima Kiss from the pda:the digital content blog on England’s Guardian site [...]

August 19, 2008

I have read no less than three different posts today about music, Pandora, the RIAA and piracy. Well it’s actually only two real posts since Chris Pirillo’s offering was no more than a cut and paste of his conversation on FriendFeed. Along with his non-post post there was Cyndy Aleo-Carreira who looks to [...]

Encourage Piracy By Making Legal Music Too Hard to Listen To & Killing The Providers

August 16, 2008

Before Pandora became a geotarded service it was one of my most favourites services that I had running more often that winAMP. Along with Last.fm the Pandora service was one of the best ways to find out about new music and musicians. While Last.fm is still available via their web site and is now [...]

From the Pipeline – 8.12.08

August 13, 2008

Been spending most of my day testing out some different themes and I still haven’t found anything that really seems to grab me but I’m still trying. So don’t be surprised if the site changes looks over the next day or two – probably quite a few times. In the meantime here’s a few things [...]
