Music Industry Shoots Self In Foot

[Archived in Cd Dvd Player, Entry]

Brian on 2003/04/17:

  „If copy protected CDs prevent this, then it's like telling radio stations 'please don't play this CD.'" The promotional CDs in question came from EMI who has shipped over 16 million copy-protected CDs to date. One Australian who cannot play an EMI CD in his Marantz DVD player properly has written them to say he will never buy an EMI CD again.“

  „The Sydney Morning Herald reports on this growing trend of using camera phones to capture the minute details of every day, and share them instantly with friends. Alasdair Foster, director of the Australian Centre for Photography , says: "Picture messaging" is a natural extension of the compressed language of text messaging. "It's about the transmission of an idea, or a moment, at that moment." While this is an interesting article reflecting on the current cultural zeitgeist, I would argue that their suggestion that "camera phones could also sound the death knell for the photographic film industry, already struggling with the onslaught of digital technologies and the decline of film and processing revenues" is a major over-reaction to a new imaging technology that is still very much in its infancy (via Based on a True Story ).“

Hot Buttered Death: CD copy protection: a list (found using query: cd copy-protected cds self)

  „I don't normally get worked up about things in this way, and I don't normally believe in the power of boycotts (I don't even expect this one to work, to be honest) because normally the consumer is the only one to suffer from it (there's a good number of albums I would like that I won't let myself buy). Nonetheless, here I am doing this anyway. Remember, copy-controlling CDs is essentially an act of hostility by the record companies against you the consumer because they don't trust you.“

  „In an attempt to challenge Apple's current dominance of the exploding online music market, Sony has announced plans to embed on copy-protected CDs digital music files which can only be played on Sony-approved equipment. The files, which are encoded in a proprietary format, cannot be read by or stored on unapproved devices like Apple's iPod, but can easily be transfered to an approved portable device for portable playback. Critics of the plan point out past failures of copy protection...“
