More Charts The Record Labels Don't Want You To See: Swedish Musicians Making More Money
,----[ Quote ]
| We've already discussed the research on the
| UK music industry that shows both that live
| revenue is more than making up the decline
| in recorded revenue and that musicians
| themselves are making more revenue than
| ever before. Some people have suggested
| that this is a UK-only phenomenon, but a
| worldwide study found the same thing as
| well. And, now it looks like the same is
| being found in Sweden as well -- home of
| The Pirate Bay, which we keep being told is
| destroying the industry. Swedish indie
| record label owner Martin sends in the news
| on data from the Swedish music industry,
| which looks quite similar to the UK data.
| First, it shows that while there was a tiny
| dip in overall revenue, it's back up to
| being close to it's high, mostly because of
| a big growth in live music...

Threatening Internet freedom in the UK
,----[ Quote ]
| All too often, the public policy world
| focuses on subtle legislative distinctions
| and on regulatory details. But once in a
| while, an issue comes along that strikes
| to the heart of the big principles. Such
| an issue erupted last week in the UK - an
| issue that incorporates two of the most
| important subjects on these pages: privacy
| and innovation.
