BPI threatening British file sharers again

Here is the quote of the century!!!! "I suspect that the problem won't go away just because we've launched two rounds of litigation." How right you are.....!!!!

You know, this comment is to the industry, or at least the AfterDawn Staff writer, the P2P services seem to resolving the issue of downloaded music. We are really talking about lost revenue, from the perspective of the Record Execs frame of reference. You should be thinking of this as an opportunity to use it as an advertising asset, I'm sorry the idea is to get exposure. Take a few tips from the porn industry and the spammers out therer. Downloads of new material such as Elvis Costello; Alanis; Tori Amos, all use a simple set of techniques: put out files on the net that serve your purposes and most what I would use the P2P services for, where's the good stuff out there? They have been releasing files that have the first verse and may even fade out at the first verse, then you drop out and put another two and one half minutes of dead air, or you cycle the musical segment again and again. The file size matches the expected size of the song and you get a preview of what you're buying on most of the CD. Win-win situation. Don't think of it as losing income, as instead, a place to manage content. You just have to make your version pervasive for the first real wave of buyer, remember we are buying 4.5 times the average amount of what we hope is legal not mass produced pirate copies that the mafia (we're talking off the back of the truck bootleggers)is selling to legitimate retailers. Let's face it we want the artists to get their cut for having written this great material. The record labels also need to come to terms with the usary treatment of the artists and stop blaming everyone else for the lock on the way artists are charged back from an industry that needs to step asside and allow the artists a more direct channel. The technology and delivery system has change, start looking at ways to empower artists and there will be plenty revenue stream for everyone. You want as many legal songs and CDs passing through the pipeline as you can get, the rest is exposure.
