Moving beyond piracy
To be frank, one of the main motivations for writing about this topic has to do with my opinion about the piracy debate. I find it a waste of time, partly because I’m a so-called ‘digital native’ who grew up with the internet and I’ve never really seen piracy as a huge problem compared to the massive opportunities the internet created. When I recently interviewed French electro-producer Para One, he echoed my opinion about the internet: “it would be unfair to hate it.”

You Think You Have a Hit Song?
Getting a song on the pop charts takes big money.
Def Jam started paying for Rihanna's recent single, "Man Down," more than a year ago. In March of 2010, the label held a writing camp in L.A. to create the songs for Rihanna's album, Loud. At a writing camp, a record label hires the best music writers in the country and drops them into the nicest recording studios in town for about two weeks. It's a temporary version of the old music-industry hit factories, where writers and producers cranked out pop songs. "It's like an all-star game," says Ray Daniels, who was at the writing camp for Rihanna.

Maybe It's Time for App Developers to Start Selling T-Shirts
-- Piracy is no longer a problem for legacy entertainment companies like record labels and film studios. Mobile app developers now must deal with their pirated games being available on the Web.

Surely these are tall tales, dreadful nighttime legends that musicians tell their children? It’s impossible to sell so much yet make nothing, right? Actually this ghastly folklore is way to true and unfortunately commonplace. Selling 1,000,000 albums and owing the label $500,000 is easy, typically secured by the thoughtless stroke of a pen.
