Music execs vow to go after ISPs in piracy war
Friday January 24, 2:55 pm ET
LONDON, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Music industry officials on both sides of the Atlantic on Friday vowed to keep up the fight against online music swapping, piling pressure on Internet service providers (ISPs) to police their networks.
The issue of whether Internet and technology companies should be compelled to assist the major music labels in the fight against piracy, which is blamed for slumping CD sales, was headline news this week at the music industry's annual confab in the French resort town of Cannes.
At the conference, Internet executives reacted sharply to comments made by Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) Chief Executive Hilary Rosen who said ISPs should be held more accountable in monitoring illicit song-trading.
On Friday, Rosen told Reuters the RIAA would continue to work with lawmakers and the industry to root out song traders.
She said the trade body has no plans to develop compulsory licensing arrangements or impose fees on ISPs to recoup sales lost to file-trading. "That would be a dramatic departure (from the RIAA's strategy)," she said.
BATTLE IN EUROPE
In Europe, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), a global trade organisation, has been waging a war of its own, battling to push forward the Copyright Directive, EU legislation that has stalled at the state level.
If passed, the Copyright Directive would require Internet service providers to play a more vigilant role in the protection of copyright-protected materials. The ISPs have challenged the directive on ground that it puts them in the costly role of having to police their customers.
Only two of 15 EU member countries have ratified the directive. ISPs, telecommunications companies and now manufacturers of hardware devices such as CD-burners, have sought to have protections afforded by the directive limited, to the chagrin of the music industry.
"This directive was the subject of a hard-fought compromise at the EU level between all the players. It is really bad faith that certain parties are trying to renegotiate this directive at the national level," Frances Moore, European regional director for the IFPI, told Reuters.
The IFPI said it faces the biggest opposition in Germany, Finland and the Netherlands.
The recording industry believes it has little time to spare. CD sales are expected to fall again this year, the fourth consecutive year, as the popularity of so-called peer-to-peer (P2P) trading networks such as Kazaa and Grokster grows.
A study released on Friday by U.S. software firm Websense said file-sharing sites continue to proliferate with more than 130 unique P2P applications and 89,000 Web pages dedicated to file-sharing, representing a 300 percent rise from a year ago.
The industry did win a major victory in the United States this week when a federal court judge said telecoms giant Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ - News) must identify a prolific song downloader, an individual who pulled more than 600 songs per day off file-sharing sites.
In Europe, the IFPI intends to step up pressure on state and EU lawmakers so that national laws are strengthened to curtail downloading practices.
The world's major music companies include Vivendi Universal (Paris:EAUG.PA - News; NYSE:V - News), Bertelsmann AG's (BERT.UL) BMG, EMI Group Plc (London:EMI.L - News), Sony Corp.'s (Tokyo:6758.T - News; NYSE:SNE - News) Sony Music and AOL Time Warner Inc.'s (NYSE:AOL - News) Warner Music.

Speaking of which; on the 3.7 acres of land it doesn't really matter what the slope is. The number of double wides that can be placed is almost infinate as they could stack them up like a higher rise. Getting to the tallest one would be no problem either as they could climb up on the junked cars and tractors.

Don, so this can of white gas that I have would be a bad thing to use to start a fire?
Which way do you crumple the paper? Columns up or crossways? I have a bunch of green treated lumber, would that work good for kindling?
I also have a number of railroad ties that would look good in the fireplace, those would be ok to use wouldn't they? They have this black oily stuff on them, but that should help to get the fire going.
I just hope the fire doesn't hurt the birds that are nesting in the chimney.

Let private sector fight piracy, tech firms say
Thursday January 23, 3:28 pm ET
By Andy Sullivan
WASHINGTON, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Technology companies said on Thursday they would fight government efforts to require copyright protections in computers, CD burners, and other products and vowed to work out a solution on their own.
High-tech firms including Apple Computer Inc. (NasdaqNM:AAPL - News), Microsoft Corp. (NasdaqNM:MSFT - News), Dell Computer Corp. (NasdaqNM:DELL - News), and Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - News) said that while they were committed to developing copy-protection methods, they did not want Congress to dictate what those methods should be.
Movie studios and other media companies have lobbied Congress to stop rampant digital copying of their works, and in some cases have accused Internet providers and other technology firms of profiting from piracy.
South Carolina Sen. Ernest Hollings introduced a bill last year that would have required technology firms to include anti-piracy features in their products, setting off alarm bells across the industry.
Hollings has not decided whether to reintroduce the bill this year, an aide said.
At a hotel near the White House, tech firms, trade associations and several consumer groups said they had formed a group called the Alliance For Digital Progress to fight the Hollings bill or any other similar efforts.
"The answer to piracy lies not in politics. It lies in private-sector cooperation," said Fred McClure, a former official with the Reagan and first Bush administrations who now serves as spokesman for the group.
The movie industry's top lobbyist issued a statement saying that the two sides have been in private discussions and objected to the coalition's adversarial tone.
"We are not the enemy. We are not at war with the IT community," Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, said in regard to information technology companies.
Many of the same companies and trade associations, including the piracy-fighting Business Software Alliance, announced a similar agreement with recording companies last week.
A spokesman for the Recording Industry Association of America declined to comment on the new coalition.
Also absent from the agreement were consumer-electronics manufacturers, who have pressed Congress to bolster consumer "fair use" rights to make limited copies for personal or academic use. A spokesman for the Consumer Electronics Association said it was in discussions with the coalition.
McClure said the coalition would not tackle fair use or other copyright issues.

However, only 15 more days till the O1000 rolls out. Then 10 days after that and the 1/4ly report should be out. Hopefully the guidance that they gave us at the CC will be low and we will be pleasantly surprised.
If not, then they better have a pile of PR's to shove down our throats.
Again, this is my OPINION and not yours.
Little old Philo from the Nord........and freezing my buttocks off........not a pretty mental picture is it!
Hey so do I, it settled in my chest and that really hurts. Very cold up here in the Artic Circle.......however, the Northern Lights are nice this time of year.

Verizon must reveal Internet song-swapper - judge
Tuesday January 21, 2:46 pm ET
WASHINGTON, Jan 21 (Reuters) - A federal court ordered Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ - News) on Tuesday to turn over the name of a customer suspected of downloading songs over the Internet, handing a victory to recording companies in their fight against online piracy.
The recording industry asked Verizon last summer to reveal the name of a customer believed to have downloaded more than 600 songs in one day, but Verizon refused, saying that such a move would violate customer privacy and force Internet service providers to serve as the music industry's online policeman.
But U.S. Judge John Bates ordered Verizon to turn over the customer's name.
The suit was filed by the Recording Industry Association of America, which represents the five largest recording companies: AOL Time Warner's (NYSE:AOL - News) Warner Music; Sony Corp.'s (Tokyo:6758.T - News) Sony Music; Bertelsmann AG's(BERT.UL) BMG; Vivendi Universal's (NYSE:V - News) Universal Music Group; and EMI Group Plc. (London:EMI.L - News)
Who blows there?
Kind of modest volume, but last I checked we were up a penny and a half. So, as Mortimer Duke would say from Trading Places, "go out and buy, buy, buy"
THIS IS NOT A PUMP, I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A PUMP.

None-the-less, it is still good news........if it is true.

OT, but this is kinda interesting to see what a major announcement will do to a stock. This one is from Canada and is lined up with Sun.

Burntsand shares skyrocket ahead of announcement
Monday January 20, 3:28 pm ET
TORONTO, Jan 20 (Reuters) - Shares of Burntsand Inc. (Toronto:BRT.TO - News) more than doubled on Monday ahead of what the company is calling a key announcement, but industry analysts seem to have been left in the dark as to what the big news is or why the shares have captured so much investor interest.
Shares of Burntsand, an integrator of electronic business products, were up 30 Canadian cents, or 150 percent, at 50 Canadian cents on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the second most active issue with a volume of 8.6 million shares by late afternoon.
The company, together with Sun Microsystems of Canada Inc. (NasdaqNM:SUNW - News), said they will announce a "strategic initiative" on Wednesday morning, claiming it will "change the face of Web services in Canada."
"I don't know what the announcement is about and I have no idea why the stock reacted that much to the announcement," said Steven Li, an analyst with Raymond James Ltd.
A spokesman for Burntsand said details of the announcement were being kept confidential. He also declined to make a connection between the stock movement and Wednesday's news.
