Warner Chappell Apology For PearLyrics

Posted by Zonk on from the now-we-can-eat-fruit-again dept.

RacerZero writes "The recent Slashdot story Music Should Be Heard But Not Understood sparked a good deal of discussion about the overreaction of music industry heavyweights. This week Wired is running an apology from Warner Chappel music for their poor judgement. From the article: 'Facing an upswell of protest, Warner Chappell Music on Friday formally apologized to Walter Ritter over a letter it sent to the software programmer earlier this month targeting a helper application for Apple's iTunes called pearLyrics.'"

      Idiot, Slashdot is better than copying Cory Jardin or Xeni Doctorow!

      Slashdot's stories are duped from a quality source, Digg.

      Thanks for playing.

    As an 'artist'?

    You mean as an 'artist' no one has heard of and who's opinion no none cares about.

    Once you actually have a reputation, you can speak as an 'artist'

  5. What I haven't seen after the apology by Dark+Paladin · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Even with the apology, it seems that the software is still not available.

    So it's like "Sorry we invaded our country, killed your citizens, but didn't find any Weapons of Mass Destruction - but hey, sorry! And no, we won't give you your country back until things are the way we want them."

    Until the software is back up, Warner can cram their apology up their ass.
