TechCrunch: Last.fm Data Was Leaked After All To The RIAA

Martin — Sat, 23 May 2009 16:05:12 +0000

TechCrunch ran a story back in February were they claimed that Last.fm data was handed over to the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America). The data dump in question was being analyzed to find information about unreleased music tracks that have been played by users. They received lots of fire for that article from Last.fm developers and the Internet community. The Last.fm crew denied that data was handed over to the RIAA and the story cooled after.

Today, TechCrunch ran the follow up story citing a second source and offering some clarification why the Last.fm staff members denied the leak. According to the story it was CBS, not Last.fm directly, that leaked the data dump to the RIAA, or as is suggested one of the music labels.

CBS seems to have given in to the demand because of fear that the streaming rates could be negatively impacted if they did not.

We believe CBS lied to us when they denied sending the data to the RIAA, and that they subsequently asked us to attribute the quote to Last.fm to make the statement defensible. Last.fm’s denials were strictly speaking correct, but they ignored the underlying truth of the situation, that their parent company supplied user data to the RIAA, and that the data could possibly be used in civil and criminal actions against those users. We believe that the outrage they aimed at us for reporting the story, which was materially correct, should have been aimed at CBS instead. But Last.fm never spoke publicly of the real facts of the story.

If data has been leaked – and the article speaks of IP addresses and usage data – then this could very well be a privacy disaster for Last.fm and CBS.

Muxtape Down Because Of RIAA

Martin — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 08:52:00 +0000

The RIAA, that is the Recording Industry Association of America, has claimed another victim in its fight against any form of music exchange that users and providers do not pay for. It hit Muxtape this time, a website that was reviewed not long ago here at Ghacks.

Muxtape provided a great way to upload mp3 songs to their website creating a mixtape like song collection on the website. It had some limits like a maximum song size of 10 Megabytes and only one mixtape per account but what made it great was the ability to share the mixtape with friends.

The music collection was publicly accessible which was probably the main reason the RIAA stepped in although I cannot find a difference between listening to music on a website and listening to music on Radio or Youtube.

If you open Muxtape right now you notice only one sentence and no way to access any of the services of the website: “Muxtape will be unavailable for a brief period while we sort out a problem with the RIAA.”

You Are Sharing Files

Martin — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 08:30:33 +0000

I just send a letter to your ISP telling them that you are sharing files. I did not have to prove my claims because I’m in high standing. Your Internet Service Provider is now sending a DCMA takedown notice / a warning letter / a three-strikes-and-you-are-out letter to the owner of the IP that has been found to sharing files illegally on the Internet.

No, I won’t reveal my methods to you or anyone else. The evidence is solid and you have to take my word for it, and remember, I’m in high standing and trusted. My commercial interests do not play a role, I work thoroughly..

While this could look like a joke it is unfortunately reality in several parts of the world. Last to join the party are users from the United Kingdom who will receive warning letters send from their Internet Service Providers who received the information from the British Phonographic Industry who do not disclose the process of gathering the data in first place.

Scientific studies have shown that the data gathering process of most organizations that send out DMCA notices is flawed and provided access to several methods that explained why. One of the methods was to actively frame other users and they managed to get DCMA takedown notices for one of their network printers to prove the point.

There is definitely a problem with the system if the British Phonographic Industry has the unchallenged might and right to notify the Internet Service Providers of copyright infringements and make them send out warning letters to their customers.

Fight Piracy by silencing part of a movie ?

Martin — Wed, 28 May 2008 21:19:43 +0000

Paramount apparently decided that it would be a great idea to deter and track piracy by silencing random parts of the movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. This seems to be a sort of watermarking technique to be able to identify the cinema the copy of the movie was made.. if the guys who copy the movie are stupid enough to use the same sound source.

This is another classic case where the industry is punishing their legit customers and not the ones who copy and download the media. It’s the same case with copy protections and DRM. The only ones who have to cope with those things are the customers who purchase the products, never heard of any copy protections or DRM in movies, games or music that were available in P2P networks.

The commenters at Boing-Boing write about 3-6 random sound drops for a few seconds. Now that would really make me angry and I would definitely ask for a refund on my way out. What’s their next ingenious move, blank out a few scenes ? The cinemas themselves do not seem to have a say in the matter.

I would bet that the movie that is available on P2P networks does not have those sound gaps. Wanna bet ?

Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement

Martin — Wed, 28 May 2008 19:59:47 +0000

Can you please hand over all electronic devices that you carry with you, Sir ? I need to check them thoroughly for copyright infringing material, terrorist activity and pornography. Is that a video of you and your wife, wow that looks hot. Is that the new song of Madonna ? Do you have a receipt for it ? No ? Well then we have to destroy the device and you have to pay a fine. This way please, Sir.

I’m feeling like the protagonist in Orwell’s 1984 only that we do not have a though police yet. The so called Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement was leaked to the Wikileaks website yesterday which would expand the role of Canadian border guards to search electronic devices for copyright infringing material. This includes searching notebooks, PDAs, mobile phones and mp3 player. I’m not yet sure how someone would be able to judge if a song was copied from an illegal source or legal source to the mp3 player but those that proposed this agreement surely think that this would be possible.

This new agreement is not practicable at all. Besides the problem of identifying copyright infringements in the first place this would also mean a serious delay for everyone travelling to Canada carrying an electronic device. I find it unbelievable that the music and movie industry is pressuring politicians into making such laws and that politicians are giving in to these demands.

Pennywise Reason to Believe Album Free at Myspace

Martin — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 21:22:56 +0000

There is undoubtedly a trend of releasing music albums for free / for donations / for what individuals are willing to pay on the Internet. The last months were full of stories about bands like Radiohead or Nine Inch Nails who managed to create lots of publicity by using these new distribution methods that would ignore large parts of the recording industry.

Pennywise is the latest band to release a music album for free. Their album Reason to Believe is available at Myspace at a bitrate of 320 kbit/s including the pdf booklet and jpg cover. All that needs to be done is to add the user Textango as a friend at Myspace who will send a message that includes the download link. The music is DRM free.

Textango seems to be a mobile music distributor according to Wikipedia. Pennywise is a Punk-Rock band in case you have not heard of them before, comparable to Bad Religion in many aspects.

The album Reason to Believe will also be sold in stores in Europe and America.

How users are being tracked on P2P networks

Martin — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 15:15:50 +0000

Have you ever asked yourself how it is possible that users are tracked over months in P2P networks although their IP address is changing regularly ? We only hear reports about session based user identifications. Session based means that shared files of this session are analyzed and recorded opposed to tracking a user over months.

Common sense tells us that the IP address is the major information needed to identify a user, but there are other information available to other users of P2P networks that can be used to track users even if the IP address changes. Those are, among other data the software and version used as well as the MAC address of the computer.

These two values are used to generate a hash that identifies the user even if his IP changes because the IP is not relevant for tracking users over a period of time. It is still recorded though with additional information like shared files, date and time, servers and all other information available.

It could be that even more information are used to calculate the hash value. Everything that is not changed regularly could be possible. The hash value of a new user is then compared to a database table that contains the hash values of users that have been using the P2P network and linked if a match is found.

RIAA is becoming desperate

Martin — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 18:50:39 +0000

In a move that can only be described as desperate the RIAA, or better Cary Sherman, its President, suggested at the State of the Net Conference to bundle filters that check for copyrighted data with programs that would benefit the user such as antivirus applications to counter the problem with encryption that they are currently facing. He did not stop there though and suggested that the ISP would monitor, ehm, filter, the user as well through the likes of the modem for instance.

So, what he suggests is that everyone has to use filters on their computers to prevent copyrighted material from being listened to and traded. He knows that users would not want that kind of filtering on their computers but he thinks that they would accept it if the benefits would outweigh that disadvantage.

Basically he wants that everyone helps them to filter every user on earth to prevent unauthorized listening and spreading of copyrighted music. Here are some quotes taken directly from the video..

Filters can be put in the applications for example. You know, one could have a filter on the end user’s computer that would actually eliminate any benefit from…encryption because if you want to hear it, you’d have to decrypt it, and at that point the filter could work.

When people start moving to encryption and so on, they know that they are engaging in illegal conduct..

40 years of life and crime in the Music Biz

Martin — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 15:05:10 +0000

Yogi send me an interesting article published at the Guardian Online written by Simon Napier-Bell who has been a part of the Music Industry for over forty years. In it he takes a look back at the beginning of his career, how the Music Industry evolved in the wrong direction to finally experience today’s meltdown.

I really enjoyed reading the article, how all those small record companies were bought by the majors, how artists had to sign deals that put them at a serious disadvantage if they wanted to sell records, how 2/3 of all Radio stations in the United States were controlled to only play music that was sanctioned and so on.

He is describing the changes that take place these days, that artists sign up at independent labels that give them better contracts and more rights. Wonderful article, really worth a read but be prepared, it’s a long one.

But out of every 10 signed nine will fail. A contract with a major record company was always a 90 per cent guarantee of failure. In the boardroom the talk was never of music, only of units sold. Artists were never the product; the product was discs – 10 cents’ worth of vinyl selling for $10 – 10,000 per cent profit – the highest mark-up in all of retail marketing. Artists were simply an ingredient, without even the basic rights of employees.

Imagine the outcry if people working in a factory were told that the cost of the products they were making would be deducted from their wages, which anyway would only be paid if the company managed to sell the products. Or that they would have to work for the company for a minimum of 10 years and, at the company’s discretion, could be transferred to any other company at any time.

Music Industry Thoughts

Martin — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 08:47:23 +0000

I could not sleep well yesterday evening because I was thinking about the Music Industry which was directly related to the article I wrote on that day. I was to tired to pen it down but I would like to try and recap my thoughts. We all know that album sales are down and that it will most likely stay that way. I thought about the reasons for this and came up with the following.

The last big innovation for the Music Industry was the CD and that is where they are stuck with. They cling on that CD no matter what and fail to realize that there another revolution and a shift that has happened in the last years. It’s called digital music. They do not want to accept that digital music will be the successor of the CD.

And digital music has it’s own laws that you have to cope with. You can’t just copy the marketing and business models that worked so well with the CD to digital music. Not working for several reasons. First is all digital music can be downloaded from the Internet without paying a cent.

That’s a major competitor to online sales. Instead of fighting it they should find ways to compete with it and make their digital music more attractive. It is just not explainable why a digital download costs almost as much as a CD that you would purchase in store.

Second there are lots of sources for free music on the Internet. You can listen to Internet Radio which is probably the only source that is also available in the CD world. But, the Internet offers so much more and everything is just a click away.

You get personalized portals like Last.fm where you can listen to any artist known to mankind, you can download free albums from sites like Jamendo which have some incredible works there, you can listen to personalized Internet Radio with Pandora, you can listen to all the music and view the videos on Youtube, you can rip most of the music without much efforts..

All of this is competition and the Music Industry has to face the facts. They can’t just ignore what is happening and hope for the best. It’s adapt or die in my opinion.

Christmas CD Sales are down 20% compared to last year

Martin — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 09:33:18 +0000

Ars Technica are reporting that CD sales this Christmas, that is the period between Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve, are down 20% compared to last year which means that 21.4 million CDs have been sold less than the previous year. This looks serious but is it ? We have to take a look at overall earnings to make a fair judgment.

It is not a secret that online sales are on the rise and are highly profitable and that especially the games sector is seeing a huge rise in sales. I unfortunately do not have numbers for the games and movies sector and online music sales but I suspect if you take everything into account it will even out more or less.

The RIAA will surely whine about pirates once again and fail to see the obvious. I can only speak to myself but I did probably buy three or four albums in the last six years. My main reason is that there are not many releases that please my ear. The charts are dominated by one hit wonders and bands that reunite again to make just another album.

I prefer to listen to Internet radio when I work on my computer and would seriously pay a small amount of money for it. I do not purchase music at iTunes or similar stores because I do not like their pricing structure that much. It is to expensive in my opinion.

I prefer to download music from free sites like Jamendo and reward the artists directly. You will be surprised at the quality of some of the releases at Jamendo.

I did buy more DVDs and Games in that time though. I’d say I roughly bought 50 DVDs in the last two years and maybe 30 games. That’s where my money is going theses days and I suspect that many users are doing the same.

Did you buy music the last years ? Can you think of other reasons why the sales did drop that much ?

RIAA sues all Internet Providers

Martin — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 15:50:39 +0000

Well, not really. They do sue Usenet.com though because of their service that “sells access to content that includes millions of unauthorized music files” which is exactly what Internet Providers are doing. They give you access to the Internet and it is up to you, the user, what he is doing there.

Usenet Providers provide access to the Usenet which offers discussion based groups as well as groups that offer file downloads. What the Music Industry does not like at all are those groups where music files are posted. While this is understandable it is not the task of the Usenet Provider to filter content on the Usenet which would a nearly impossible task anyway.

This would be like asking Internet Providers to ban certain websites from being accessible by their clients. Ups, did not they do that already ? The real question is another one. Who is actually responsible if copyrighted files are getting uploaded ? Should not they press charges against the users who are uploading those files instead ?

This however is not that possible because of the way the Usenet works unless you would get access to the Usenet Provider’s data. Even then it is not possible to know which user uploaded a specific file unless he did use this specific Usenet provider to do so.

What is your opinion in the matter ? Should they be able to sue Usenet Providers ? Internet Service Providers ? The Internet ?

Artists are leaving the sinking ship

Martin — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 07:37:16 +0000

Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, Oasis, Jamiroquai and even Madonna have something in common. They all decided to turn their backs on the Music Industry and either market their albums directly or – in the case of Madonna – use a company that is not related to the Music Industry.

Those bands are big and could influence others to try the same. I personally think it is time for a change. Bands earn (almost) nothing from record sales which is unexplainable to me. I read a nice essay from a music producer earlier who did produce a Nirvana record who said that while the Music Industry earned more than $1.5 Million from selling CDs the band actually made a minus from that.

I’m not an expert but I can predict that more artists will choose the risk of marketing albums on their own instead of making no money at all from it. The big ones will be first. Those who have enough fans and publicity to be able to do that.

But, musicians at the base are also already using the Internet to sell their records without Music Industry contracts. Marketplaces like eMusic or even Jamendo give them the publicity to reach an audience.

The question that arises is simply: Who needs the Record Companies ?

Attempted copyright infringement soon to become a crime

Martin — Tue, 15 May 2007 19:56:21 +0000

The first thing that came to my mind when I read “Attempted copyright infringement” was the term thought crime. It seems that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is pressing the U.S. Congress to enact a sweeping intellectual-property bill that would increase criminal penalties for copyright infringement, including “attempts” to commit piracy.

The so called Intellectual Property Protection Act of 2007 would for instance:

Criminalize “attempting” to infringe copyright.
Create a new crime of life imprisonment for using pirated software
Permit more wiretaps for piracy investigations
Allow computers to be seized more readily
Increase penalties for violating the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s anticircumvention regulations
Add penalties for “intended” copyright crimes
Require Homeland Security to alert the Recording Industry Association of America

You do find a in depth report by following the link mentioned above or read the summary of the act here. What’s next, Death Penalty for someone who copies the newest Britney Spears album ?

Thanks Jan for sending me the information per email.

09 F9 11 02 T-Shirt

Martin — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 04:32:09 +0000

Did you know that you could get into really big trouble if you post the code beginning with 09 F9 11 02 on your website ? It is very likely that a takedown notice will be send to the owner of the website as soon as the RIAA, the AACS or some of their lawyers find your website. You might be wondering why they are making such a big deal about this code that continues to be 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 which only some users might identify as the code to rule them all.. aka the processing key that unlocks the content of every HD-DVD available up to this point.

Did you know that this was the processing key that ends with 63 56 88 C0 ? I did not until I read an article where the AACS sent some takedown notices to websites owners who mentioned the key. So, what is actually happening now is that this key will be reproduced on thousands of websites who report about this takedown notices, it will be available in caches, in forum entries and in many other places including custom created T-Shirts, Mugs and Mousepads. It seems that the takedown notice somehow backfired on the AACS, don’t you think ?

NiN upload some of their songs to the Piratebay

Martin — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 08:33:25 +0000

NiN – Nine Inch Nails – added a new announcement on their website stating: “As a reward for stealing Year Zero, We’ve prepared the next batch of multitrack audio files for you to download”. Beneath the announcement are links to three of their songs, Capital G, My Violent Heart and Me, I’m not in Garageband / Logic Format for the Macintosh and a generic format for other applications. The interesting aspect of the generic format is that the links are actually torrent files that point to the Piratebay.

Call it a publicity stunt of unknown dimensions, a bold move or going with the time it all comes down to the following. Nine Inch Nails will get a huge publicity boost mainly from Internet sites that report about this. They will rise in popularity especially among filesharers and advocates of DRM free music that could very well use the move from NiN to show the world that the new album from Nine Inch Nails is selling well even though it was pre-released on major torrent sites. (not by them of course).

It would be very interesting to analyze the sales of their newest record before and after uploading the three songs to the Piratebay. Nine Inch Nails are the prime example of a band that is not fighting against the new trends of distributing media but use it to their advantage. They realized that the music is no longer the most important factor to decide whether to buy a CD or download it but the additional value that comes with a purchase.

Their newest CD is black at the beginning but becomes white after being played. They hide bonus tracks in encrypted messages on the Cds and offer a great booklet. I was always very disappointed about the booklets of most new CDs and I think this is one of the reasons why people don’t think that buying CDs would give them an additional value. (if you don’t care about the legal – illegal point of view)

Ghacks has been aquired by the RIAA

Martin — Sun, 01 Apr 2007 08:04:29 +0000

Money makes the world go round. I tried to remain true to myself for a very long time but after some initial contacts with Mr. Shepherd from the London office and the money they offered I could no longer reject the offer. I’m therefor announcing that the RIAA has purchased my blog, my domain and my expertise which will now be turned in favor of digital rights management against those unwilling customers who just can’t see what is good for them.

I already started editing all existing anti-drm, anti-RIAA and anti-Everything posts here at Ghacks to please my new king. I managed to convince them to send me a truckload of records that I always wanted to listen to. It is indeed very nice of them to send me 3-4 copies of every records because I told them that I needed to listen to the music on my computer, my mp3 player and my car radio. I did not want to break DRM to be able to do so and they fully understood that.

See, they are nice guys. I may not talk about the price that they paid for making me their slave but hej, it is more than I would ever earn in my whole life. That is a lots of icecream !

Service Announcement:

The new Elton John CD is available for only $16.99 at your local CD retailer. Go buy a copy now !

There are absolutely no ill effects for Ghacks. I was even allowed to add those nice announcements to all of my posts. I’m sure everyone will profit from those.

Well, I’m off again. Have to listen to all those new shiny records I got. See ya.

RIAA Boycott

Martin — Sat, 03 Mar 2007 20:52:48 +0000

I’m sick and tired. Sick and tired of the RIAA, the Recording Industry Association of America, their methods, their pressure against their customers, their inability to cope with a new situation, their stubbornness and their greed. Instead of listening to their customers and possible customers they cling to their old ways of distribution and show an unbelievable ineffectiveness to cope with new technologies and ways of spreading music.

Their latest stunt ? New royalty fees for Internet Radio stations. The price per performance rose from $0.0007 in 2006 to $0.0011 in 2007 which is a mighty increase. This means that radio stations have to pay $0.0011 per song that has a listener. This does not seem much but if you do some basic math you soon find out that this is indeed to much for many small radio stations.

Let us assume that a radio station plays 20 songs in an hour. This would mean that they would pay 0.0011 * 20 each hour multiplied by the number of listeners per hour. A station with only 100 listeners would have to pay $2.2 per hour, $52,8 per day and $19272 per year. Keep in mind that this are only the costs for the rights to play the songs, this does not cover bandwidth and other expenses.

The costs per performance are going to be raised to $0.0014 in 2008 and $0.0018 in 2009. The site Save Internet Radio states that over-the-air stations do not pay such a fee for performance rights.

I could continue writing about other things but thankfully a blog called the Wandering Student has expressed everything that I wanted to write down. Pay him a visit and read what he has to say, it is well worth the time.

So, what is the consequence of the boycott ? I will not purchase music that is published by a member of the RIAA. This includes online sales, eBay and all other forms. I will support local bands, independent bands, DRM and RIAA free websites, free internet radio stations and every other possibility that supports independent music.

Alternatives to uTorrent

Martin — Tue, 20 Feb 2007 21:49:32 +0000

There has been a lot of controversy about the recent acquisition of uTorrent by Bram Cohen, the creator of the Bittorent protocol. Most users seem to be disturbed about the partnership between Bittorrent and the MPAA which started in fall 2005 with the agreement that illegal searches would be removed from its own Bittorrent search engine. The fear that the cooperation will affect the development of the popular uTorrent client seems to grow with every passing day.

“Following the acquisition, patented content delivery innovations made by BitTorrent, Inc. will be integrated in the µTorrent client in a manner that will remain seamless to the community of users. Ultimately, the integration of best-of-breed BitTorrent technology will result in an improved client and an enhanced user experience. It will also accelerate BitTorrent’s plans to provide high-performance content delivery services that power websites seeking the most efficient platform for distributing large, high-quality files. Lastly, the incorporation of µTorrent’s lightweight codebase strengthens the adoption of BitTorrent technology in embedded systems, including televisions, mobile phones and other non-PC platforms.”

Utorrent on the other hand does not seem to be the only bittorent client which seems to be affliated with the content industry. There are at least rumors that Azureus was sending stats of your sessions over the network as well. And finally a photo appeared on Flickr that shows the author of Bitcomet and Aswhin Navin of Bittorrent.

Alternatives:

Some users prefer to switch clients based on those rumors which is totally understandable. But which clients can be used except the most popular ones ? Here is a list of alternatives.

ABC (Open source)
BitBuddy (freeware)
BitSpirit (down atm)
BitTornado (Open Source, one torrent per window)
gTorrent (Open Source, Linux)
Halite (still in early development, Open Source)
XBT (Open Source)

It will be hard for every client in that list and possible future clients to come close to the excellent functionality and performance of uTorrent.

Fake Torrent Finder

Martin — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 08:24:40 +0000

Fake torrents are spread into the system by organizations for two reasons. The first and in my opinion dominant one is to unsettle the torrent users by lowering the rate of successful downloads. Nothing is more discouraging than downloading the latest blockbuster for days only to see that you downloaded only garbarge in that time. In addition to this the trackers that spread the fake torrents are recording every bit of information they can get their hands on.

The IP address can be used to identify users and sue them in the process for instance, still the main reason is to destablizie the system and make users leave it. One way to find fake torrents is to use the newly introduced Fake Finder which is a script that displays and lets you search for the latest fake torrents that are known to them. There is no 100% guarantee that the site lists all fake torrents and trackers but it lists many and you should consult it before you begin to download a file.

The list of torrent trackers that spread the fake torrents is large and you should use a program like peerguardian to block them all. This prevents the connection at all and should protect your privacy.
