Music Is Still Too Expensive To Be Free, Too Free To Be Expensive - 0 views

    This article just reiterates some of our analysis from last week on music services and the industry as a whole. The best take away really is the headline. Too Expensive to be free, too free to be expensive. The music industry falls somewhere in the middle of this perception of value. And admittedly so do many forms of media (TV via Hulu, NYT and paid subscriptions, etc.)

Intellectual property - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Lawrence Lessig, along with many other copyleft and free software activists, have criticized the implied analogy with physical property (like land or an automobile). They argue such an analogy fails because physical property is generally rivalrous while intellectual works are non-rivalrous (that is, if one makes a copy of a work, the enjoyment of the copy does not prevent enjoyment of the original).
  • Some critics of intellectual property, such as those in the free culture movement, point at intellectual monopolies as harming health (in the case of pharmaceutical patents), preventing progress, and benefiting concentrated interests to the detriment of the masses,[34][35] and argue that the public interest is harmed by ever expansive monopolies in the form of copyright extensions, software patents, and business method patents.
  • intellectual property tends to be governed by economic goals when it should be viewed primarily as a social product;
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Other criticism of intellectual property law concerns the tendency of the protections of intellectual property to expand, both in duration and in scope. The trend has been toward longer copyright protection[39] (raising fears that it may some day be eternal).
  • Patents have been granted for living organisms,[43] (and in the US, certain living organisms have been patentable for over a century)[44] and colors have been trademarked.[
  • The ethical problems brought up by intellectual property rights are most pertinent when it is socially valuable goods like life-saving medicines and genetically modified seeds that are given intellectual property protection. For example, pharmaceutical companies that produce, apply[clarification needed] intellectual property rights in order to prevent other companies from manufacturing their product without the additional cost of research and development. The application of intellectual property rights allow companies to charge higher than the marginal cost of production in order to recoup the costs of research and development.[50] However, this immediately excludes from the market anyone who cannot afford the cost of the product, in this case a life saving drug.

    What does it mean for something to be free on the marketplace and how can it be turned around for profit? A la remix, can songs/videos that are available for free be an entry point (freemium) for the purchasing of more content? And is this a valid business model in today's digital economy?

    i think this is worthy of a discussion. songs are "consumed" and apps are iterative and used.

  • Radio "piracy" began with the advent of regulations of the public airwaves in the United States at the dawn of the Age of Radio. Initially, radio, or wireless as it was more commonly called, was an open field of hobbyists and early inventors and experimenters, including Nikola Tesla, Lee De Forest, and Thomas Edison.
  • The Navy soon began complaining to a sympathetic press that amateurs were disrupting naval transmissions.
  • When Wilson declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917, he also issued an executive order closing most radio stations not needed by the US government. The Navy took it a step further and declared it was illegal to listen to radio or possess a receiver or transmitter in the US, but there were doubts they had the authority to issue such an order even in war time. The ban on radio was lifted in the US in late 1919.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • An entire federal agency, the Federal Communications Commission, was created eventually to enforce rules on call-signs, assigned frequencies, licensing and acceptable content for broadcast.
  • "Technological development, and in particular the miniaturization of transmitters and the fact that they can be put together by amateurs, 'encounters' a collective aspiration for some new means of expression." 
  • Despite pirate radio being known for over the air transmission, a new type of so called "pirate radio" stations now operate on-line.
  • The distinguishing feature is that these on-line pirates will usually not pay music copyright fees, like most of their AM/FM pirate cousins.

    Interesting history of the bootleg radios (Free Radio). Some logos are really cool, the second one looks like an RKO Radio Pictures but says "Free Radio" and has a hand of an individual holding the tower... In the end of the article there is a FAIR USE message that says: "This site contains copyrighted material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner. We are making such material available in our efforts to advance understanding of environmental, political, human rights, economic, democracy, scientific, and social justice issues, etc.." Isn't that what we all want?  They also make sure that they "DO NOT CONDONE ILLEGAL PIRATE HF RADIO ACTIVITY": it's better to have a legal radio station than have  "FCC KNOCKING AT YOU DOOR."

    Who really enforces copyright infringement? The courts or is it just YouTube? In this case, Apple Loops which should be copyright free are coming up as "third party content." Does YouTube have the right to do this?

    Film shot by people all over the world in one day.  The whole film is available online for free on YouTube (after watching an ad of course), and the footage has been made available to people. They've even made their own "remixes" of the trailer for the film. A great, high profile example of open source filmmaking.

    "The chimes were the first ever audio trademark to be accepted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office." How far can the NBC trademark for its chimes be taken? 3 notes. Easy to inadvertently put in a song. How does trademark in this case differ from copyright?

    These mix tapes on DatPiff are clearly underground since all it took for me to get to them is google searching "mxtape". Does the ease of getting them lessen their street cred, or does the potential to make it big out weight that?

    "The third single to be released was "Deer in the Headlights",[3] released on May 24, 2011 (but as an iTunes Exclusive, was made available for download the previous day). The single was announced in a different way than what is considered traditional. Starting May 16, 2011, every day of that week part of the song would be added to the sneak peek.[14] It was originally just called "New Song", and fans had to guess the new song. The first part of the song to be released were the drums, followed by the addition of bass, guitar, synthesizer, and vocals over the next four days. On the final day, the title for the song was announced." This came to mind when I read the "studio as a compositional tool." Owl City made the layers of his new song very transparent to his listeners as a way of introducing his latest song. Unfortunately links were only active for 24 hours with each instrument. So, I have nothing for you to listen to...

    It says its from 2003 but I have a hard time believing that. This is an unintentionally hilarious, supremely 80's documentary about collaboration in the music industry. Its pre-mainstream remix, but I still think it could be relevant.
