| RIAA Wins a Key Suit
by: George Howard
The verdict is in for the first unauthorized peer-to-peer file sharing suit to have reached trial. While all other suits of this kind have either been dropped, settled, or are still pending, Jammie Thomas – a single mother – who decided to fight the suit brought by the RIAA on behalf of the four major labels has lost.
The jury found Thomas liable for copyright infringement, and ordered her to pay $9,250 for each of the 24 songs that were the subject of the lawsuit. The total pen...

We are adding more essential questions that are tagged to video answers – quick answers as it were. Many of the essential questions have very complete ans...

| Examining the Radiohead move
by: George Howard
Updating an earlier story, according to a Radiohead spokesman, the majority of people pre-ordering the new Radiohead record at what he describes, “normal retail price.” Very few people, the spokesman continues are opting to purchase Radiohead’s new release, In Rainbows, for a penny.
While it’s still very early days, it appears that from a financial perspective, and certainly from a publicity perspective, Radiohead’s pay-what-you-will gambit is wildly successful....

| Excellent Run down of the Ringtone Situation
by: George Howard
Macworld presents one of the best articles I've seen recently on the issues surrounding ringtones. Read it Here,
Obviously ringtones are a massively important issue for the music business. They've been one of the few bright spots for the majors. Now, with the massive success of the iPhone, and the integration of ringtones into the iTunes store, it's even more of a heated issue.

| Prince and the devolution?
by: Mike King
Prince has always been a bit of an enigma to me. Although I was a relatively early adopter (Purple Rain was one of the first cassettes I ever bought, right after Duran Duran Rio), I sort of lost interest by the early 90s. But even when I wasn’t listening to his music, I was always keenly aware of Prince’s marketing and chops. The slave//symbol thing might have been a little out there, but great marketing - it kept Prince in the public eye when there was a bit of a lull ...

| State of the Business: I See the Future
by: George Howard
Somewhat buried in today's release of new Apple product is what I believe will be - in hindsight - viewed as the defining moment of when the music industry changed.
While it's great that the cost of iPods has gone down while the storage has gone up; and, certainly, the iPhone is now pretty irresistibly priced; and the unfortunately-named iTouch is a great device for people who want a bang-up PDA/music player, but are reluctant to switch service providers/phones, this isn't...
