  • Speaker: Copyright Must Change,

    Reuters story via Stuff: Music industry 'must embrace pirates'

    This report of an annual record industry gathering in Cannes repeats the 95% piracy claim without challenge, then continues.

    ... Michael Robertson, the head of MP3Tunes who had to speak via video link because he is still engaged in copyright infringement lawsuits in the United States, urged the industry to go further and allow more experiments with their music.

    "When you sue a new technology, you lose the opportunity to channel that into a positive direction," he said.

    "There is innovation happening but it's coming from the dark side of the internet, from pirates, from the underground. And that is showing where the industry is going to be.

    "You have to look underground, to see what people are doing and then give them commercial outlets that mirror that." ...

    I can see these new tags being useful - maybe we could have ones for other writers?

    they do archive it somewhere under the Presidential Records Act (not surprisingly, a post-Nixon piece of legislation)

    Except you'll recall that Cheney, Rove et al managed to get around that by hosting their emails in a non-gov GOP domain - and then "losing" backups when challenged by Fitzgerald during his investigation. Thank goodness those evil little bastards are gone. Chimney's too good for em.

    Loud music, and mashing and stuff
