This is funny, Sony Music is trying hard to make it difficult for consumers to use Sony Electronics minidisc, mp3-players, laptops etc to listen to music.
Let's see what Sony Pictures will come up with hurting Sony Electronics sales of dvd-burners, laptops etc.
I believe that the composer, performer, author, painter etc should have the copyright to his/her work as long as they live and after death the estate should have those rights for 50 years.
For example it would prevent the use of material in a way the artist wanted (licensing music to commercials etc).
For how long does an author own the copyright to a book (s)he wrote in Britain?
AFAIK in Finland it's lifetime plus 70 years but I'm sure, could be less than that.
"And 70 years past the death of the artist is simply insanity."
Not really. Too long maybe, but I think it's better than a strict number of years.
One makes a top1 single and dies next week. Should the estate have the right to deside what happens to the track (licensing to compilations etc) or should it be public domain?
Or should an artist have the right to deside what happens to the track he composed 51 years ago?
5. They are currently hosting their anti-Apple video on Mac.com - Apple's own servers! (albeit paid by another Mac.com user - yes, I realize that a Mac.com user can do whatever they want with their webspace; it's just ironic).
I don't know if you read the article or watched to whole clip, but i did, read and watch, and got the impression that the brothers are not in any way anti-apple, that the video is not anti-apple. The clip itself was edited on mac with apple's software (iVideo?), the set-up they usualyy work with. They were just pissed because apple didn't give other alternatives than to buy a new iPod.
Approximately quarter of the price goes to retailer.
1/10 might go to artist.
But I'm surprised that cd's in the US cost as much as cd's in Finland even though here we have massive taxes, for example 22% VAT.

Clearly "Windows Vista" is not the same as "Vista" the software company. It's doubtful anyone is going to confuse them.
.. social club etc) to join in the claim.
I'm waiting for Buena Vista (distribution, winery,
Something like that, yes: Alexa's statistics
Fact is, there is no such thing as a unbiased news source.
Why someone shouldn't?
Is it wrong to benefit from one's work as long as one lives and then some?
It's not "my scheme". It is in use in many countries.
And the justification is simple, it feels right. It's isn't any complex than that for me.

Lifetime plus 50 years sounds reasonable to me.
Well, to forge the number where an SMS came from is probably a bit more difficult than in email.
But someone might have other knowledge, please correct me if I'm wrong.
"Who in the fuck is going to spend $10,000 on music in three fucking years?!?! That's buying 9 songs per day, everyday, for three years!"
I spend roughly 1500 euros per year on music. I know people who spend 300-500 euros per month on music.
Buy it in vinyl.
If you don't have a record player, download the tracks from your favourite p2p-network.
As a fellow Finn, couldn't agree with you more.
This will be a forgotten prize in 2008.
In Finland one of the major publishing houses have published a completely new ecyclopedia called Factum.
The price is a bit high, 796
Would I pay $100 for Windows or 150$ for OS X?
I'd pay for OS X. No doubt.

Not knowing, just guessing. The hi-md might be more durable than cd-r(w). The size matters too.
I can throw my md's hard on brick walls and they still play fine, no skipping etc.
Philips HDD100 is an mp3 player with recording capability.
