Music Industry Copies Language Of Copyright Reformers In Pushing For Three Strikes
,----[ Quote ]
| Seriously:
|
| "BT is clinging on to an old business model which is
| supported by illegal downloading. That's not only
| unfair to artists and creators, but penalises BT's
| many customers who use the internet legally,"
|
| This implies -- incorrectly -- that file sharing is
| somehow a massive boon to ISPs. The very same ISPs who
| keep claiming they need to use traffic shaping to
| prevent any network from being overloaded by file
| sharing. It's pretty ridiculous to claim that ISPs are
| relying on file sharing as any sort of business model
| at all.

New Zealand Author Claims Libraries Are Involved In Grand Theft By Loaning Books

| Edwards also seems fully enamored with the myth that
| copyright law is based on some sort of "labor theory"
| -- that the more time you put in, somehow the more
| money you deserve to get out. While I'm unfamiliar with
| New Zealand copyright law, in the US, such theories
| have been widely discredited in the courts repeatedly.
| And, of course, they make no sense when viewed
| alongside the actual purpose of copyright law. Edwards
| seems to believe that copyright is welfare for
| creators, rather than an incentive to create.

Music industry talks break down in illegal downloading row
,----[ Quote ]
| Many in the music business believe that the disunity,
| which has involved public spats between the FAC and
| artists such as Lily Allen, Abba and Muse, will derail
| Lord Mandelsonâs proposals, as the industry fails to
| present a united front.
|
| UK Music, the umbrella organisation for the whole music
| industry, has already dropped all mentions of
| disconnection from its public statements on the issue,
| in a desperate attempt to unite the industry. The
| consultation period for the plans ends in a weekâs time.
