The Classic Crime.
One of the first indie bands heard repeatedly on MADcHATTERS "UnCharted Territories" show the Classic Crime has finally made it. Their first album, an EP was a critical success. Their Sophmore effort "The Silver Cord" is promising to be a listener favorite. Proving Mad's ear deffinately isnt made of tin. One of the more original bands to come along in awhile.
Matt MacDonald, Justin DuQue, Robbie Negrin, Alan Clark & Skip Erickson make up this quintet from Seattle. Though subtly spiritual in theme and approach, the band has a very healthy view on the interplay of belief and artistry. Be sure to check them out!

Music Industry Proposes a Piracy Surcharge on ISPs
|
|
By Frank Rose | Wired.com
Having failed to stop piracy by suing internet users, the music industry is for the first time seriously considering a file sharing surcharge that internet service providers would collect from users.
In recent months, some of the major labels have warmed to a pitch by Jim Griffin, one of the idea's chief proponents, to seek an extra fee on broadband connections and to use the money to compensate rights holders for music that's shared online. Griffin, who consults on digital strategy for three of the four majors, will argue his case at what promises to be a heated.
"It's monetizing the anarchy," says Peter Jenner, head of the International Music Manager's Forum, who plans to join Griffin on the panel.
Griffin's idea is to collect a fee from internet service providers -- something like $5 per user per month -- and put it into a pool that would be used to compensate songwriters, performers, publishers and music labels. A collecting agency would divvy up the money according to artists' popularity on P2P sites, just as ASCAP and BMI pay songwriters for broadcasts and live performances of their work.

Does the Copyright Royalty Board Legally Exist?
|
|
Anonymous writes "Internet Radio Appeal Proceeds and New Issues Arise.
June 1, 2008 | Posted By David Oxenford
The appeals of last year's Copyright Royalty Board decision on the royalties paid for the use of sound recordings by Internet radio stations continue on, and one recent filing raises interesting questions of whether or not the CRB was properly appointed. Last week, the Department of Justice, which represents the CRB in defending its decision in the Court of Appeals, filed its brief in opposition to the briefs of the webcasters. The DOJ brief essentially argued that the webcasters' briefs were insufficient to satisfy the requirement for a successful appeal - that the CRB decision was arbitrary and capricious or otherwise contrary to law. Essentially, a Court need not revisit the decision and substitute its judgment as to whether it believes that the decision was correct, but instead, to overturn a decision, the Court must find that the CRB (the expert agency) either violated the law or could not, on the fact, have logically come up with the decision that it did. Thus, the DOJ brief made arguments that there was enough factual evidence for the CRB to decide in the way that it did, and made arguments that the webcasters had not offered contrary arguments or evidence on certain points during the CRB proceeding and were therefore barred from raising those arguments now. Just before the DOJ brief was filed, another pleading raised the fundamental question of whether the Copyright Royalty Board was properly appointed and, if not, whether it has the constitutional authority to decide the cases that it has been considering."

INTERNET RADIO MAKES A COMEBACK IN THE SENATE
|
|
Anonymous writes "The Grassroots Movement to Save Internet Radio from Extinction is Reinvigorated by Senate Judiciary Committee – Brownback Offers Industry Saving Legislation
May 15th, 2008 | SaveNetRadio
WASHINGTON D.C. – Legislation introduced in the House and the Senate last year to bring parity and equality to the new radio market made a comeback today during a Senate Judiciary mark-up. The Internet Radio Equality Act (IREA), which would establish a flat rate for performance royalty fees paid by cable, satellite and Internet radio
providers, was offered as an amendment to the Orphan Works Act of 2008 (S. 2913) by Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) during a scheduled mark-up of the intellectual property legislation today.
The amendment, which was later withdrawn, signals the renewed efforts of Net radio webcasters to reverse an unprecedented 2007 rate increase by the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) that threatens to bankrupt the industry. Expressing his “strong support for internet radio,” Chairman Leahy welcomed future consideration of Internet
radio royalties.
“It has been more than a year since the CRB raised the cost of webcasting to an untenable amount,” said Jake Ward, spokesperson for the SaveNetRadio campaign, “and all we are is a year older. Last year, more than two million people called on Congress to take action, and 150 Members in the House and Senate heard them and signed on in
support of the Internet Radio Equality Act, but we still don’t have a solution. In the past year, rates have been set for net radio’s direct competition, satellite and cable radio providers, at a rate three and four times less than their proposals to Internet radio. It is disappointing and absurd that while Net radio is fighting for its survival, the industry has
been put at an even greater disadvantage. This is unacceptable and hardly the good faith negotiations the House Commerce committee directed SoundExchange to participate in more than nine months ago.”"

If music DRM is dead, the RIAA expects its resurrection
|
|
Anonymous writes "By Jacqui Cheng | Ars Technica Published: May 08, 2008 - 02:11PM CT
Despite widespread declarations of the death of DRM in music, the Recording Industry Association of America insists that it's far from dead. At the Digital Hollywood conference taking place in Los Angeles this week, the organization argued that DRM is still used in the large majority of music distribution methods. Not only that, but DRM is poised to make a comeback to make up for where it has fallen.
"(Recently) I made a list of the 22 ways to sell music and 20 of them still require DRM," RIAA technology unit head David Hughes said during a panel discussion, according to CNet. "Any form of subscription service or limited play-per-view or advertising offer still requires DRM. So DRM is not dead."
Hughes' statement comes just four months after the last of the Big Four music labels decided to ditch DRM for some sales. Sony BMG joined EMI, Universal, and Warner in selling DRM-free MP3 files through Amazon's MP3 service (in addition to a rather large handful of independent labels), making Amazon the only online destination that sells unprotected music from all of the majors. Other music stores offer some DRM-free selections too, like the iTunes Store, the Zune Marketplace, eMusic, and Amie Street, to name a few.

RIAA escapes sanctions, drops case against homeless man
|
|
MADcHATTER writes "By Eric Bangeman |Ars Technica Published: April 18, 2008
So far we've had grandmothers, dead people, disabled single mothers, and today, we can add another category to the list of those targeted by the RIAA: the homeless. Earlier this week, the RIAA decided to voluntarily dismiss the lawsuit against Chaz Berry after learning he was living in a homeless shelter—but not until after a magistrate judge denied an earlier motion for summary judgment and recommended sanctions against the RIAA's attorneys.
Berry was sued by the RIAA in February 2007 for copyright infringement after an IP address logged by MediaSentry on a P2P network was traced back to his AOL account. When the time came for Berry to be served with a copy of the complaint, the RIAA discovered that he had vacated his apartment. A pretrial conference scheduled for April 19, 2007, was postponed for 60 days at the labels' request, due to the RIAA's professed inability to serve Berry with a summons at his last-known address.
The RIAA said in its April 17 filing that it was "conducting a thorough address investigation" so it could serve Berry with a copy of the summons. But that wasn't quite right: it turns out that the RIAA's process server slapped a copy of the summons "in a conspicuous place" at Berry's last known address on April 9—a full eight days before the RIAA said it couldn't locate him. The process server's attempts were detailed in an April 25, 2007, affidavit completed by the process server, who also said that a copy was sent via first-class mail to the same address."
