No wonder the major record labels are in trouble
,----[ Quote ]
| Amazingly, all this can all be done digitally in literally minutes at a
| fraction of the cost. Since 2005, the entire Canadian music industry has led
| the world in moving to a total digital workflow. That industry has virtually
| eliminated the use of CD Pros to promote new music to radio stations,
| internally within the labels, and to other destinations with great savings of
| time, effort, and money.

Why digital is good for music
,----[ Quote ]
| Greg Kot: There is a part of the music industry that is dying as a result of
| what's happening on the Internet. But I think a new industry is being born, a
| grassroots industry.

Bad Idea Redux: Revisiting The Music Tax
,----[ Quote ]
| I was going to ignore this, but people keep submitting it. A student blogger
| for ZDnet has decided that he's solved the RIAA's problems: just tax every
| internet connection at $1 per month. This is, of course, unworkable and
| unwise for a variety of reasons. First, the recording industry would laugh
| (and laugh and laugh) at the idea that $1 from every internet connection
| would come close to covering what it (falsely) considers to be "losses" from
| file sharing. Remember, this is the same recording industry that's
| continually trying to raise the price per song downloaded to over $1. But,
| more importantly, there are so many problems with a music tax idea, that it's
| taken up multiple posts here.

Cor! - UK Pirate Party's Smart Move
,----[ Quote ]
| What's interesting is how tightly focussed the Pirate Party is. I think
| that's wise: otherwise it would just become another Raving Monster Loony
| Party. By restricting its message to an area that it understands, and which
| is crying out for reform, I'm sure it will benefit in the long run. It will
| also, usefully, force the other parties to frame their own responses in this
| domain.

The Price of Justice
,----[ Quote ]
| If you believe that denying a fair trial to around 5 million people in this
| country is wrong, maybe it's time to join the Pirate Party?

Pirate Party UK Officially Registered
,----[ Quote ]
| The UK Pirate Party has been officially registered at the Electoral
| Commission and is hoping to follow in the footsteps of its successful
| counterpart in Sweden. With all the recent controversy surrounding
| anti-piracy legislation and lawyers going after alleged file-sharers, the
| party has become necessity.
