.. I don't know too much about it, but it does really appear to be a poor mans DSDM.
Paired up coders, the client sitting in the office every day... these seem like blunt edged approaches to solving the problems of dynamic, rapid, development.
DSDM provides a far better approach, of defining requirements and envolving the client during an iterative development cycle, without what seems to be a cost overhead in XP
DSDM allows you to ensure that your client gets a product fit for business, and that it does not go over budget/time.
Regardless of differences here, the above book sounds absolutely dire!
The music industry is trying to put the blame fair and square on the proliferation of P2P networks in particular, and file swapping in general, wheras it is a plain and simple fact that the established music industries' output with regard to original music has declined by -more- than their sales have in the same period of time.
File sharing is having a negligable effect on their bottom line, but they are using it as their own scapegoat for their lack of progress in developing music.
If the big music players win on this issue it will be a loss for ground roots development of new music, which the big players ignore over manufactured bands.
