On-demand book publishing booms in 2008
,----[ Quote ]
| The U.S. publishing industry passed a key marker last year, with the
| publication of more "on-demand" or short-run titles than traditional books, a
| U.S. company that keeps publishing statistics says.
|
| While the swing may be temporary, caused as major publishers retrenched, it
| could be "a watershed year in the book publishing industry, fuelled by the
| changing dynamics of the marketplace and the proliferation of sophisticated
| publishing technologies," said Kelly Gallagher, vice-president of publisher
| services for Bowker, which provides bibliographic data and services.

| With CD sales dropping fast, it is not hard to imagine how the major music
| labels could benefit from the growth of Web start-ups like Imeem. The
| company’s service lets people listen to songs, discover new artists and share
| their favorites with friends. And in return, Imeem owes the labels licensing
| fees for use of the music.

Suing Customers Next Time?
,----[ Quote ]
| Details have been spilling out over the last few days that the RIAA has been
| making pretty massive cuts to staff. We already knew that EMI was cutting
| back on its support of the RIAA/IFPI, and it seems that with the rest of the
| RIAA's major label supporters also having economic troubles, the writing is
| on the wall that the RIAA is about to go through a major transformation.
