Howell Loses

The RIAA had a slew of lawyers, Pamela and Jeffery had none. So Jeffery and Pamela, representing themselves lost $40,050.
Paying the RIAA because you represented yourself is unfortunate. Intentionally destroying evidence of computer activity after being ordered by a judge to preserve it, was the shooting of your own foot that an attorney would have [...]

As such, I am excited that this week we have launched the latest and greatest versions of muzic, [...]

Rhapsody In Bluetooth
|
Rhapsody is the newest MP3 convert. It seems MTV and Real Networks, who own the subscription service, have seen the light, and now all 5 million of their music tracks are available as DRM-free MP3s.

The Headless Trend
|
The Major labels are going headless. As market share drops, more upper level corporate heads keep rolling.
A few weeks ago “The Ten Million Dollar Man,” Clive Davis got put out to pasture on the Sony/BMG ranch. Now, it’s Lee Trink at Capital/Virgin Records, who’s resigning.
Next it’s going to be his boss, Jason Flom. [...]

Just as the Lunatics predicted, the RIAA’s lawsuits are starting to backfire. The recording industry’s legal strategy of suing their fans has received several legal setbacks this week.
First, a federal magistrate is recommending that Tanya Andersen be awarded $108,000 in legal fees. This recommendation made yesterday in Oregon by Magistrate John Acosta has the [...]

Ain’t that a Mitch
|
Mitch, I read your speech, and I still don’t trust you.
Testifying before the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet, RIAA Chairman and CEO Mitch Bainwol sounded sooo intelligent till he got to the part about “with respect for order.” He continues: “It means having an online environment that encourages [...]
