‘Metro’ Bravely Defends Record CompaniesNow that Radiohead has released its new album itself for download, record companies are starting to get a little nervous. (Radiohead is sort of a special case, of course, with talent and passionate fans, etc.) And Metro, in yesterday’s paper, made sure we knew these companies need all the help we can give them.
Ahh, yes, what can be done to prevent those benevolent record companies from going under? They’ve always been so nice to us, promoting quality artists over commercial talent and not price-gouging or suing 12-year-olds or putting spyware on everyone’s computers. Er.
The guy on the left is awesome. I assume he’s from the Planet Bazoomba, because nowhere on Earth could you ask someone a question and his response would be “Yes, please raise prices on us!” |

Your forgetting what Radiohead did as well:
The album is coming out next year on CD, and the free download that is being offered is only at 160kps. A lot of people are calling it either a scam or a “glorified demo” since iTunes and the audiophile standard is 320kps.

I think that, yes, the radio companies are finally realizing that more needs to be done to save themselves from dying a terrible death, but they also are realizing that it isn’t even close to over for them yet.
I’m surprised it didn’t occur to anyone that record companies could make better use of photos of Alycia Lane in a bikini to prevent them from going under. It’s really a no-brainer to take that measure.
The most ridiculous statement on the Copywrite Alliance event came from the RIAA, who hung up a t-shirt saying “Feed a musician. Download legally.” That suggests that the RIAA still wants people to believe it represents the best interests of musicians. Such a concept becomes more laughable every day, as musicians seem to be shoving each other aside to bail out on the record labels to take their chances making money without them. The RIAA has never represented the interests of musicians, and it’s sad that so many politicians act as if it does. The RIAA has always represented the interests of the recording industry — whose own interests have often involved treating musicians terribly. So if you want to feed a musician, you’re better off not paying money to the RIAA — but figuring out ways to pay for things where the money actually goes back to the musician.
I think the one thing that is getting lost in the “right to download” debate is the right of copyright holders… we have rights, too.
iTunes files are not 320K
and audiophile standards are lossless formats, such as FLAC.
shouldnt you be like, running for an election you’re not eligible to run for?
Shouldn’t you be working?
At any rate, the information I posted came form the article, nothing more, nothing less.
Shouldn’t you be getting me some photos of Alycia Lane in a bikini?
Yhanks you :
