Court quashes Ottawa's MP3 fee ...
Consumers may soon be paying less for MP3 players
after the Federal Court of Appeal ruled that special copyright levies
applied to digital music players are not legal. A 71-page decision by Mr.
Justice Marc Noël found that although the Copyright Board of Canada was
seeking to protect music writers and performers from the "harm" caused by
digital copying of music when it imposed the MP3 levies last December, the
board did not have the legislative authority to do so. Canada's Copyright
Act gives the federal board the authority to apply levies on blank media
such as compact discs and audio cassettes. But the wording of the act has
not kept up with the new technology of MP3 players, represented by the
wildly popular iPod, which use an embedded memory rather than discs or
cassettes, to store digital copies of songs.

Analysis: Music downloads enter uncharted waters ...
With the official download chart now more than a
month old, are we learning anything new about the differences between the
legal downloader and the CD single buyer, asks Robin Langford
It could be argued that the download chart got off to a rather
inauspicious start. The first number one, a live version of Westlife's
"Flying without Wings", suggested that this was not going to be the
cutting-edge alternative to the singles chart that many had hoped.

MP3 Going the Way of the 8-Track? ...
Overall, the data has
not shown a clear trend,
but at least one recent study reports that people are deleting MP3s faster
than they are downloading them. AAC and WMA, meanwhile, are apparently
gaining market share. Is this evidence that MP3 is being used largely to
sample music rather than for permanent archival and listening purposes?
They still
don't think so. "

MP3 losing steam? ...
After years as the unrivaled king of the
digital-media world, the venerable MP3 music format is losing ground to
rival technologies from Microsoft and Apple Computer. MP3 is still the
overwhelming favorite of file traders, but the once-universal format's
popularity has been going quietly but steadily down in personal music
collections for the last year. According to researchers at The NPD Group's
MusicWatch Digital who track the contents of people's hard drives, the
percentage of MP3-formatted songs in digital-music collections has slid
steadily in recent months, down to about 72 percent of people's
collections from about 82 percent a year ago.

Counterfeit MP3 CDs flood markets ...
MANGALORE: The flip side of technology has done it
again. After fake audio cassettes and compact discs, it is MP3 CDs that
are cutting into the revenues of audio stores in Mangalore. Counterfeit
CDs which have a huge market in the City have reduced the meager profits
of shops which deal in audio cassettes and CDs. ‘‘Because of smuggled MP3
CDs, our business of original cassettes and CDs has come down by 25 to 30
per cent. A MP3 CD is being sold at Rs. 40 which includes CD cost of Rs.
11 and recording cost of Rs. 10 and the rest goes to the person who sells
and produces it,’’ says Pundalik Nayak of Melody House, one of the oldest
music stores in the city.
