Substantial noninfringing use.
Why DRM usually fails.
Excerpts from the /. Rob Glaser interview:
"While wholesale prices vary depending on the label, today most labels charge approximately 65-70 cents per song. Publishing costs a fixed rate of about 9 cents per song. And the other costs average a few pennies per song. Thus, as we have made clear, selling every song in our store for 49 cents a song is not sustainable unless/until the labels change their pricing philosophy.
Based on the data we've seen, we think, long-term, the pricing that will result in the biggest overall market for music will involve some kind of tiered pricing new mainstream songs for 99 cents retail, and up-and-coming artists and back catalog artists at a lower price. "
Sony will acquire MGM soon.
Yahoo! buys MusicMatch.
Cell-phone P2P. Images and text only so far. Not long before someone finds a way to make it share MP3's.
