Music Industry Sliding Down a Slope of Self-Destruction
The Music Industry Is Sliding Down a Slope of Self-Destruction
Quote:

I would like to give a warning now that, unless the music industry, which has generally been thought to be strong in times of economic recession, protects musical culture, and amends the strategic mistakes it has made in developing the market so far, its future will inevitably mean slipping and sliding down the slope of self-destruction.

Not bad for a J-Pop fix. Thanks! Anime soundtracks, though- why? I miss the oldies.jp site which had enka from the 1920s to today. Even my WWII-era Japanese teacher enjoyed that site.

The market is there, but next time you wanna' bash Japanese group think look in our own back yard. Those music people are stuck in the seventies. A CD cost far less to manufacture then a cassette tape, Wal-Mart would have seen the opportunity and brought the CD out at a lower cost then the cassette - but the music industry tacked on 5 extra bucks. The bands get worse and worse and the music prices go up and up.
Because I'm an electronic music fan I buy CD's, and lots of them, almost none of them come from the major labels. If a song comes along I want to listen to I don't want to buy 12 additional crappy songs.
My friend wants to bring some DVD's with her when she returns to Japan, but guess what - she can't because of regional coding - what a stupid concept.
Let the industry die and something better will arise to fill that void.
16bit music in the year 2003 is adsurd, by this time it should be at three times that bit rate. (of course speakers are analog and that's a problem) Create a musical experience MP3 cant touch (and by the way I can clearly hear the compression of MP'3 and it irritates me), start finding artists instead of pretty faces and they will be back on track.

Protection is just another way to keep idiots from making casual copies.. there is no way to make a completely protection proof cd...
though DISNEY has decided on an ingenius plan to create DVDs that destroy themselves after 2 days of use.
have a read below:

Most interesting...
and it is a way for them to destroy the environment too!! Yippee for Disney, the global polluter.. now they are in competition with AOHELL for top CD/DVD polluter of the world!

heh yeh i know theres at least 2 ways of getting round protected cds - use the black pen trick - no good if youre renting a cd
or pop the cd into a hifi with optical out preferably rather than l/r and link that to a pc with something like an audigy/high end yamaha sound card fitted and transfer it that way
thing is, i dont see the point in buying a hifi here as the moment u turn it up to a decent volume youll just get a complaint to the landlord..
as for disney, well anyone with taste bad enough to want to actually watch their mind fucking shite deserves some extra landfill to deal with..

Roxio buys Sony-Universal online venture, gears for Napster relaunch
The Associated Press / May/19/03 6:45 PM
Software maker Roxio Inc., the new owner of Napster, has acquired the music service pressplay -- laying the groundwork for a competitive Windows-based offering against Apple Computer Inc.'s online music store.
...Pressplay was Universal and Sony's attempt to offer a legitimate online music alternative, but its subscription-based model and copy restrictions apparently hampered its success.
Analysts estimate the money-losing venture had at most 100,000 users.
...Because of Apple's success with less copy protections, the record industry will be willing to cut similarly liberal licensing deals with Roxio and other online music sellers
