This blog is a collection of thoughts, news and other bits and bobs that more or less focus on the relationship between the Music Industry and Internet technologies.

“The UK minister for communications, technology and broadcasting, Stephen Carter, has also welcomed the announcement, as have a bunch of UMG artists including Ronan Keating, the Sugababes, Duffy and James Morrison.”
Music Ally | Blog Archive ยป Virgin Media and UMG launching unlimited music service
The poor starving artists at UMG approve of Virgin’s new promise to suspesnd the accounts of persistant file sharers.
Could someone remind me why I would want to sign-up to an ISP that has openly said it will cut me off, but if I behave (and pay up) I can use a half-arsed Spotify?
That seems like a pretty shit deal guys.

Music Ally | Blog Archive » Travis Barker and DJ-AM launch Twitter mixtape giveaway
There is something unsetteling about force-tweeting. Making people do stuff is always going to to ruffel a few feathers. On Twitter, just like in real life, it would be a bit weired to say “hey, shout my name as loud as you can and I’ll let you download my mixtape.”
There are so many things wrong with this I’m not too sure where to start. I’ll pick an exaple - @spymaster. Even after making it as plain as the nose on your face that the app will tweet on your belalf, people got annoyed by it. People got annoyed that their account had been ‘hi-jacked’ and other peopl egot annoyed that people they were followinging were sending out moronic spam.
Another arguement against this is that, by lowering yourself to a cheap marketing trick, you remove all notion of value attached to your product. If you are prepared to be underhanded and sneaky to give it away, why should I not be underhanded and sneaky to get it?
As always though, it’s just a thought…
