'Twilight: New Moon' piracy case dismissed
,----[ Quote ]
| The research has therefore indicated that
| at least two of the three major ISPs
| perform manipulation on traffic, and
| especially peer-to-peer traffic. Deep
| packet inspection and P2P-caching is
| performed by at least one ISP and that
| another one probably operates some kind of
| preference on specific ports.

MySpace/Imeem Deal Leaves Thousands of Artists Unpaid
,----[ Quote ]
| Possibly the last band to be paid by imeem
| for music sold through a Snocap store
| embedded on MySpace was Javelin, which
| happens to be my brotherâs and cousinâs
| band. After they inquired about money
| listed as owed in its online account,
| imeem sent them a check for about $400 for
| approximately a year and a half of sales.

Music as Commerce: Understanding a Mindset
,----[ Quote ]
| By and large, thinking of music as
| commerce, as strictly a means through which
| money is made, is what got the record
| industry into this mess in the first place.
| Long before the Internet and file-sharing
| became common scapegoats, the record
| industryâs growth was already based on the
| notion of a forever expanding market for
| music that never existed. Because music is
| such a definitive part of the human
| experience and passionately embraced the
| world over, it was supposed that quarter to
| quarter not only could record labels
| achieve exponential growth, but that from
| album to album an artist ought to be able
| to achieve the same results. But, as we
| now know, this mindset can only persist for
| so long, because music as commerce expands
| rather differently from music as culture.
