Norwegian Band Told It Can't Post Its Own Music To The
Pirate Bay, Even Though It Wants To
,----[ Quote ]
| Having recently returned from Norway, where
| I was impressed at the optimism and the
| willingness to embrace new technologies and
| services, it's disappointing to read the
| following story (found via brokep) of a
| Norwegian band who recently released an
| album on their own label and decided to put
| it up on The Pirate Bay themselves, as more
| and more indie labels are doing. Except...
| the band members are a part of the
| Norwegian music collection society TONO,
| who is among those fighting to have The
| Pirate Bay blocked in Norway.

Lily Allen: It's Ok To Sell My Counterfeit CDs, Just
Don't Give My Music For Free
,----[ Quote ]
| Yes, so while some musicians have said
| they're fine with non-commercial file
| sharing, but are against anyone selling
| their unauthorized works, Ms. Allen seems
| to have taken the opposite approach.
| Counterfeit all you want, just as long as
| you profit from it. Yeah. Someone should
| explain to her the difference between price
| and value, and also the benefits of word of
| mouth marketing. But, it doesn't seem like
| she's much interested in actually
| understanding this stuff, so if you want to
| help her understand, maybe go set up a shop
| selling burned copies of her CDs, and see
| what happens.
