Blog: The Cloud vs. the Paradise of Infinite Storage

We’re here in sunny Austin for SXSW! Just a few minutes ago, we saw a fascinating panel called “The Cloud vs. the Paradise of Infinite Storage.” Some real brainiacs on this one, let us tell you. The discussion featured FMC board and advisory board members Bryan Calhoun and Sandy Pearlman, the brilliant Eric Garland from Big Champagne, Mike McGuire from Gartner Research, Wayne Marshall of MIT and WayneAndWax and Peter Biddle, one of the first authors to describe the “Darknet” — a closed private network of computers used for file sharing.

The discussion was a continuation of a breakout session hosted by legendary rock producr/manager Sandy Pearlman at our most recent Future of Music Policy Summit. Consider this our “executive summary.” read more

Filing: FMC Sends Letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Stating Concerns About the INDUCE Act

Aug 04 2004

A letter filed with the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding the INDUCE Act. FMC appreciates the committee’s willingness to address the issue of peer-to-peer file-sharing. However, we were concerned that S. 2560, the “Inducing Infringement of Copyrights Act of 2004” (INDUCE Act) was premature and, arguably, irresponsible. This piece of legislation was designed to target and provide legal remedies to punish entities and companies that willfully “induce” consumers and music fans to illegally download music, but if it had passed, might have had unintended and negative consequences beyond the stated goals. read more

That means anyone from musicians to film makers; even ship vessel haul designers. In 1998 the DMCA was passed into law marking some of the most significant amendments to United States Copyright law since 1976. The recent inceptions of downloadable media, peer to peer file sharing and digital media copyright piracy on a massive scale, have also made the DMCA extremely significant in its time. read more
