IFPI claims that music piracy is right up there with climate change. At least they’re not being melodramatic about it.
Posted on January 22, 2010 | No CommentsThe International Federation of the Phonographic Industry is sorta like a worldwide RIAA, representing record labels, artists, and musicians to make sure their agenda is always out there. That, of course, makes it pure evil. It just published its Digital Music Report 2010, which tries to detail the situation vis-à-vis digital music, piracy, and so on. The big, scary headline: music piracy is right up there with climate change as an issue of monumental, worldwide importance. Sure, OK.

Activision alludes to DJ Hero 2: Go ahead and pretend to be surprised
Posted on January 15, 2010 | No CommentsThere will be a DJ Hero 2. Yes, I realize that saying that—Activision will make a sequel to one of its games—is akin to saying earthquakes are bad, or that candy is delicious, but there you have it. The sequel was confirmed as part of a contest.

UK study finds that people who illegally download music are biggest paying music consumers
Posted on November 2, 2009 | No CommentsWell, well, well, look what we have here. A new study shows that people who download music illegally are more likely to buy music than their non-pirating counterparts. Why's that? It turns out that people who are into downloading music are actually into music, whereas people who don't download music aren't necessarily fans of music in general.

It’s brother versus brother in the UK re: that proposed anti-file sharing law
Posted on September 14, 2009 | No CommentsIt's time for story Eight Million and Six-teen about how the record labels and the musicians they ostensibly represent no longer get on with each other. This time, we have a bit of a row developing over in the UK, where that proposed knock-people-off-the-Internet-for-file-sharing law is currently stirring division amongst the ranks. One on side, of course, you have the record labels who, in the year 2009, are still afraid of piracy destroying the music business (please note: that's destroying the music business that made record label execs fat and happy; music hasn't gone away, it's merely changed, and change is death to the record label middle men), and on the other, the musicians who recognize that, you know, maybe suing the pants off your customers isn't the best thing to do.
