Jens of Sweden refuses to pay copying charge



Jens (of Sweden) Nylander, maker of some stylin’ MP3 players, has never been shy to lay down a verbal smack on his competitors or the government. For the past two years he has publicly refused to pay the Swedish “copying charge” — something that makes CopySwede, the collectors of about $11 million dollars of said charges last year, none too happy. See, back in 1999 the Swedish government believed that copyright owners should be compensated when their music or films are copied to blank media for personal use — this includes MP3 players. We’ve all heard that ... (more)

This is quite a bit of a problem because Californian law and First Amendment precedent requires Apple check up on itself before threatening journalists. From the article, "It appears that Apple has adopted a shoot-first, ask questions later approach to dealing with rumors sites. The company took no depositions, required no oaths from its employees, and failed to subpoena ... (more)

Technology Blues...



Dang it, dang all the hardware that is suppose to be "user" friendly. Those of you that know me know I'm not the geekiest of all geeks. I'm maybe a mini-geek, by default. Which in turn means I like technology, I'm not afraid of technology and I want to include it in all aspects of my life - at a fair cost. Fair cost in my mind doesn't have much to do with dollars and cents it mainly just has to make sense - in my non technical mind. It has to be friendly and useful, not take too much time during the learning curve and must be intuitive to my next desires should I make a mistake. This is where ... (more)

iTunes On Sony Ericsson

Here's the gist: MSS makes Sony devices show up as a folder in iTunes, and then through some crafty app-synchronization the software copies the contents of the folder onto the Memory Stick in the phone or Clie.

Can you share any real-life podcast marketing results with us? Rodney talks about a company that started with a couple of hundred podcast subscribers, but ended with over 6,000 in two weeks after being included in the iTunes directory. While such success would satisfy most marketers, it does not come without problems, such as bandwidth issues. What podcasting best practices can you recommend? Rodney starts with best p ... (more)
