They don't protect regular radio in anyway, so why should they bother protecting digital broadcasts. |

I bet it's possible to record of a radio station with CD quality just use a tape recorder. Or even plug your MP3 player into the record slot in your sound card and use the sound recorder.

Agreed. I wish they would just stop whining and simply lower the bloated prices of their crappy albums.

Huh? Radio Stations are analog, and never as clear as the digital form they are likely playing. The RIAA's argument is that the (almost) perfect digital recording will be pirated from the digital stations, which aren't radio anyway.
At any rate, the RIAA is a bunch of asses. |

Re: Ridiculous
Digital radio offers "no generation loss": bit for bit fidelity of the source data. Using a tape recorder to capture music over the air is like videotaping a movie on TV: it's not going to be as good as the "official" videotape release.

Geez, WTF is wrong with these people? The DJ's blab over the intro of the record anyway! Don't they even LISTEN to the radio? Guess they're scared of the stations that play whole albums on Sundays, and most of those are old "classics" that are hard to find anyway.
Valenti and his thugs need to get a life!

When you pay $50 for a cd and their children's children's children don't have to work a day in their lives.
And who are you calling yahoos these guys are obviously so up to date on tech that they can predict what will happen years before it happens.

Re: Ridiculous
They aren't afraid of tape recorders. They are afraid of the direct inputs to the digital radio. XM Satellite Radio has a system you can hook to your PC. If you know where to look, you can purchase a output and go directly to your computer where you can record hours of digial quality music straight to your PC. I know some people who do this and use a music editing program to take the music they want and save it to mp3s.
Quite a nice little system I might add.

All radios which have a headphone jack can be used to record music on the computer. Digital radio would allow people to record radio static-free.

| RIAA's Claim Of "Lost Sales
The answer will be revealed in my Keyboard article over the next few months, so I'm not going to spoil the punch here. Through my interview with the Soundscan rep, however, I learned the following:
- For the first quarter of 2003 Soundscan registered 147,000,000 records sold.
- For the 1st quarter of 2004 Soundscan will report 160,000,000 records sold.
That's 13,000,000 more units, almost a 10% increase in sales since last year. He also confessed that 1st quarter "album sales" (as opposed to overall sales) had increased 9.4% since 2003.
What gives? Didn't Cary Sherman recently attest to the "fact" that there was a "7% decrease in revenue since last year." (This quote was taken from Mr. Sherman's speech to Financial Times Media at a Broadcasting Conference in London.) And didn't he name piracy/file-sharing as the main reason? Yes, according to more than one source. (»musicdish.com/mag/index.php3?id=9338)

At last the RIAA has found themselves in the position of picking on someone of their own size. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it: For over 20 years now one group or another has been battling to come up with a fool proof copy protection scheme for one thing or another associated with computer media, and for those same 20+ years each and every one of the protection schemes has failed or quickly been nullified.
Either the RIAA comes up with a revised, viable marketing strategy or they go the way of the dinosaurs.

Re: RIAA's Claim Of "Lost Sales
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that more cds and more money is being made during this era of piracy and freeloaders than ever before. RIAA is spreading propaganda that in the end will turn around and hurt the industry. Then when revenues start to fall because of their tactics, they will further blame the pirate and try to send anyone who downloads a song to prison for the rest of their lives. |

| Sink the RIAA once and for all.
The only sure-fire method to shutting up the RIAA (and solving a lot of other problems too) is to get to the root of the problem: the professional politician.
We need to have term limits for all elected officials. If you have term limits you banish the professional politician. If there are no pro politicos then the lobby system would slowly crumble. No effective lobby system puts the RIAA and all the other greed mongers in the same boat as the general public. You also no longer have re-election campaign funds that big businesses will pump money into.
I'm not saying it's a perfect solution but I think it would be better than out current situation. |
