    "iPod fees" are being proposed in Canada similar to the existing fees placed on all CDR's. The assumption is that usage of CDR's (and now iPod's, apparently) implies music/copyright theft.

    "Why Social Networking? Through social networking , people can use networks of online friends and group memberships to keep in touch with current friends, reconnect with old friends or create real-life friendships through similar interests or groups. Besides establishing important social relationships, social networking members can share their interests with other like-minded members by joining groups and forums. Some networking can also help members find a job or establish business contacts. Most social networking websites also offer additional features. In addition to blogs and forums, members can express themselves by designing their profile page to reflect their personality. The most popular extra features include music and video sections. Members can read bios of their favorite music artists from the artist's profile page as well as listen to their favorite songs and watch music videos. The video section can include everything from member-generated videos from hundreds of subjects to TV clips and movie trailers."

      Scams like this get people all the time!! I see this almost on a daily basis at work..
  • The next day I received an email from the man telling me his secretary had made a mistake and had written the check for $4500 instead of $450. This is when the alarm bells started going off in my head. When the man told me he wanted me to cash the check and send him the balance via Western Union, I knew something was up. I had recalled all those scam emails I'd received in the past with similar scenarios involving Western Union and money transfers and got quite suspicious.

      Companies always complain about competition when it's too late and they've already missed the band wagon. These other companies have had chances even if it was small and incremental to make improvements to their broadband offerings and they chose not too. They also had an opportunity to bid for this stimulus money and unfortunately they did not receive it. If they had they would not be complaning right now.
  • These local phone and cable companies fear that they will have to compete with governmentsubsidized broadband systems, paid for largely with stimulus dollars. If the taxpayer-funded networks siphon off customers by offering lower prices, private companies might be less likely to upgrade their lines, endangering jobs and undermining the stimulus plan's goals, they warn.

      this is similar to Googles plan to introduce gigabit service to smaller cities on a limited scale to see if the results are profitable. I will be interesting to see if these underdeveloped areas really do take advantage of this service or if it will be lost on them.

  • Many existing systems, they note, lack the capacity to meet mush rooming demand for bandwidth. The new, stimulus-funded networks will provide far more-robust connections - many of them offering speeds of up to 100 megabits or even 10 gigabits per second to schools, libraries and other "anchor institutions." That's 20 to 2,000 times faster than the DSL and cable wires linking most U.S. homes.

    Government stimulus attempt to bring broadband access to rural areas that have limited or no high speed internet access.

      proof that the artists in at least this country are still making similar revenue regardless of filesharing. The labels however are a different story.

      An interesting idea for record labels to make up for the lack of revenue from selling albums but if labels are taking a cut from this then should they also offer a cut rate to their album sales with the increase of profit from this sector?

    Good look at how file sharing is affecting the record labels more so then the artists and how those who share files actually purchase more content then those who don't.

    This is a free radio site that plays any type of music from any artist. I frequently use this site to listen to music while I write papers, and since this week's discussion is on the Music Industry I thought it would be relative to share this with the class.
