I am a debut artist who’s just recorded one of the most expensive debut albums in recent history.

We have just released my debut album as a FREE HQ Mp3 download.

It was a tough decision for us to make because of the vast amounts spent on the album. We had two of the biggest record producers in the world work on it…. at Peter Gabriel’s Realworld studio and at Abbey Road studio in london.

Despite all that, we recognise the massive potential the internet and free albums in particular offers. We launched last friday and have already had 1000′s of DL’s all over the world.

Come over and download for FREE.. it takes 2 minutes to DL because we have a dedicated server.

If I could buy a bunch of songs and then buy a teenage girl too lipsync to them and make 100 million dollars off it I’d be afraid when people start to wake up too. God forbid we decide what we want to listen to on our own. They’ve got the whole business locked up tight. When we do start to show them we have our own minds they stomp it out immediatly. We start watching Indy movies so they start making 100 million dollar “Indy” movies for us. We start finding our own new music on the internet, they start American Idle where we pick who we like but they own them from the moment they walk through the door the first time. I know how to keep them from losing money to piracy. Release all the bands from there contracts and go get real jobs!

From now on, as it used to be in the past, the best live acts will be the ones that earn a good living.

If the future, music CDs will be advertising, or made purely for collectible value of the packaged componants (not the music data itself) after the musicians are already famous.

I doubt the trading company(ies? :P) of the 1600s would lock heavy weights onto their cargo before shipping. Or possibly plant explosives on them which corresponds to some computers’ reactions to DRM protection.

]]> By: » Uma licença global para o “mercado” da música digital /how-to-get-rid-of-drm-effectively-open-letter-to-steve-jobs-and-the-riaa/#comment-48660 Mon, 12 Feb 2007 23:21:56 +0000 http://torrentfreak.com/how-to-get-rid-of-drm-effectively-open-letter-to-steve-jobs-and-the-riaa/#comment-48660 [...] Agora, Bennett Lincoff, um advogado especializado em propriedade intelectual, enviou uma carta aberta a Steve Jobs e a Mitch, que a TorrentFreak publicou, em que apresenta um artigo onde propõe um sistema de licenciamento para a transmissão de música digital que, na sua opinião, irá beneficiar os consumidores e a indústria musical. O artigo, que está disponível em PDF e HTML, intitula-se “Fixing What’s Badly Broken: A Proposal to Maximize the Licensed Availability of Recorded Music for Digital Transmissions and to Make the Music Industry Whole Again as the Digital Music Marketplace Develops” e, tal como a extensão do subtítulo deixa antever, é um bocado comprido. Na verdade, são 28 páginas, mas como eu estou muito interessado no assunto, tive a pachorra de o ler do início ao fim. E no final, até que valeu a pena, sobretudo pela primeira parte onde Lincoff faz o diagnóstico completo e rigoroso de todas as maleitas da indústria musical. E o texto em sim é coerente em termos lógicos, mal grado o “legalês” excessivo. [...]
