Yes the digital music revolution is here and the record companies are going to have to just deal. In the long run this be good for independent artists because it will allow almost no cost distribution plus music of all types will be available for download so artsist can broaden their musical range. Linked to cyberpunk. Your conf of digital culture and controversy. j cyber at the next Ok: prompt.

Salon runs a feature this week interviewing artists who are highly critical of Napster. http://www.salon.com/ent/feature/2000/03/24/napster_artists/index.html

Interesting article, I read it a couple days ago or so. I'm starting to wonder now whether the current star system can work at all with a technology that permits many easy good copies. Maybe... but the megastar is really a recent phenomena based on the technology of radio and recording. Before that, there were stars in some areas (like opera), but the distribution problems tended to limit exposure. Now the problem is being able to charge for "performances" (playbacks). So do big recording artists deserve the opportunity to be megastars? Should they (or their representatives) be able to use some tech but prevent the use of other tech that might cut into their receipts?

If anything, mp3s would seem to encourage the megastar thing. It's only really possible to find mp3s of someone who is famous enough to have their music in high demand, and the more records you sell, the more likely it is that you can survive a little piracy. It's the medium-famous people who I'd expect this to hurt the most.

Salon has another article (well, more like a commentary) on Napster: http://salon.com/tech/col/rose/2000/03/30/napster/index.html This is what I was saying in resp:4! I'm a pundit now, I guess. ;)

Hmm. Thinking about it, I don't know if I agree with the article's claim that technology created the pop music star. As long as there have been music and money, there have been people who'll pay to hear a good performer. Who was Mozart but a professional star musician, making the popular music of his time? What's changed is the nature of the support system for those professional musicians: rather than a lucky few succeeding on their own and the rest depending on noble patrons and the church, we've got a few indie musicians and the rest relying on the labels. The main difference between the two is that the labels benefit from supporting musicians by earning money, while patrons benefited by gaining prestige. I'm not entirely sure how that changes things, but I think it's an important correction.

Well, what was Mozart? He was, for a while, "court composer". This was about as good as you could do, I'm guessing. Doesn't mean he was a star like we define today. Rather, he worked on pieces requested by the king or other high level music servants. He also did some operas and such on the side, but it's not like he could sell records or CDs. Strictly live event revenues, split up among the many performers. The nobles had a lot of money to spend on high culture... but there weren't that many nobles. The commoners added up to a lot more people, but very little money each. In today's terms, he worked for the UM, played some shows at the Ark, but also had to write songs for local Shania Twain wannabees to make ends meet.

That's a good way of thinking about it, actually.

They're suing the universities for letting Napster be used on their network, I take it?

Indiana blocked Napster, until a means of limiting its bandwidth use was developed. I _guess_ that opens them up to "contributor infringement." I *think* it was Indiana that hosted a conference on the subject of Napster, music and copyright just this past weekend, too.

News item, continued. Yale University has bowed to the Metallica lawsuit and is blocking Napster. Metallica, in response, has deleted Yale from its suit and has added a number of other universities, unnamed in the news story I have from www.sonicnet.com.

in universities choose to block napster because of bandwidth issues that's one thing, I can understand that. Oh, nevermind.

Apr 20 22:43 UTC 2000 |
As far as I can tell, Yale decided it was not worth spending money to mount an iffy legal defense on behalf of its students ability to download free music. Most universities and ISPs will probably cave the same way when Metallica or the RIAA get around to suing them.

Dr. Dre has piled on, also suing Napster. According to the story on www.cnet.com, Dr. Dre's legal papers say that he will name individual Napster users in his suit at a later date.

My $0.02 on the issue: Putting copywritten songs on the internet is just like putting copywritten stories on the internet. It's illegal, unless you own the copyright. I don't understand the huzzah about one particular format, though... any practice that involves illegally distributing illegal anything should be treated with the same level of diligence. But if Metallica and Dr Dre don't want their stuff distributed fro free on the internet, they should be allowed to tell people to stop.

(Napster's defense, as I understand it, is that they simply provide the technology to make sharing MP3s easy, and don't do any bootlegging themselves. thus, suing them would make as much sense as suing the companies that built the computers used to make the MP3s, etc. I can't say I disagree with the defense.)

Actually, suing them would make as much sense as suing a photocopy shop for not actively discouraging people from photocopying books. Which has happened. And the copyshops have lost. But yes, since carla explained to me what it is that Napster does, it does seem a little more trite to go about suing them.

It's a little more complicated than that.. While it's true that Napster's just acts to make *any* recorded music easier to trade over the internet, and doesn't specifically differentiate between copyrighted and non-, Napster is certainly reaping huge windfalls from the piracy bonanza that's going on.. In fact, Napster would be just another lousy file-transfer service if it weren't for the massive amounts of pirated material that they help make accessible. So for them to claim that "we're just helping other people trade files, we don't tell them which ones to trade" is pretty disingenuous. Other people's illegal activities are the core of their business..
