her sign-waving fans in St. Paul. So, which is the more important voting demographic?

Glyn sez, "In response to a consultation on the European Commission's proposal to almost double the
term of copyright protection on sound recordings, the Open Rights Group have responded that for the
vast majority of performers the projected extra sales income resulting from term extension is
likely to be meagre: from as little as 50¢ each year in the first ten years, to as
"much" as €26.79 each year. That's because most of the gains (89.5%) will go to
the top 20% of recording artists. Meanwhile the major labels will be dividing up millions in extra
handouts every year." Our submission shows that for the vast majority of performers the projected
extra sales income resulting from term extension is likely to be meagre: from as little as
50¢ each year in the first ten years, to as “much” as
€26.79 each year. That’s because most of the gains (89.5%) will go to the
top 20% of recording artists. Meanwhile the major labels will be dividing up millions in extra
handouts every year. What’s more, performing artists will make no extra revenue from radio
airplay and other income streams arising from so-called “secondary remuneration
rights”, and may even make less. The Commission assumes that fees paid by users of
recordings, e.g. broadcasters, will remain constant. That means the amount of earnings available to
performers will not be any bigger - it will just be sliced more thinly and distributed longer to
more rightsholders. Performers will not earn any more over their life time, and are likely to earn
less, as money will be transferred from the living to the estates of the dead. Performers likely to
get as little as 50¢ a year from increased term of copyright (Thanks,
Glyn!)...
Remember the Sesame Street segment "One of These Things," where you had to spot the
outsider? I can't get it out of my head after reading Live Nation's press release for its
upcoming package concert This Land is Your Land: A Tribute to John Steinbeck, Woody Guthrie and
the American Spirit. Guthrie was a tireless working-class hero. John Steinbeck (pictured) penned
critiques of capitalism like Grapes of Wrath that made him almost as many enemies
as friends.
Live Nation, meanwhile, is a monolithic Clear
Channel spin-off taking aim at the major labels by signing their previous blockbusters like
Madonna, Shakira, U2, Jay-Z and more to massive contracts, all while building a ticketing service
that could take down the hated
Ticketmaster.
In other words, not exactly the little guy.
That said,
This Land is Your Land carries the imprimatur of both Steinbeck and Guthrie's family
foundations, who will nab a portion of the proceeds to keep their patriarchs' respective legacies
alive. Their influence will also be documented in an exhibit featuring photos, art, novels, film
and more.
Acts confirmed for the celebration include The Black Keys, Cat Power, Sheryl Crow, Henry
Rollins, Son Volt, Social Distortion's Mike Ness and Woody Guthrie's granddaughter Sarah Lee
Guthrie and Johnny Irion, not exactly your Top 40 regulars. You can even donate food to the show,
which will be funneled onward to a Northern California food bank.
So far, so social. Activism? Check. Climate change awareness? Check. Civil rights? Right. Maybe
Live Nation belongs in the picture, after all. You decide, below if possible.
The water surrounding Edge of
Darkness was already rather tepid -- I'm going by the comments here on
Cinematical, and the dutiful, but unenthusiastic reporting it's attracted. Were it 1996,
and Mel Gibson was still everyone's favorite
action star, the buzz would be something else.
But now, the rumors might really start flying. Variety
reports that Robert DeNiro has abruptly left the
production, which has been shooting since August 18th, though this was his first week on set. The
only word came from his spokesperson, and it was good and curt. "Sometimes things don't work out;
it's called creative differences."
The Boston Herald has a little gossipy tidbit about DeNiro shooting a golf scene, which
hardly seems big enough to have led to such unworkable tension. Was it the delay caused by
excavating the sand pit? (I'm being sarcastic, of course, because I hate not knowing the truth
behind a dry label like "creative differences.") We can speculate all day as to why -- is it
actually worse than Analyze That, or what?
Shooting will continue, obviously filming around scenes of DeNiro's character as they run around
recasting. Frankly, this could work out for the best -- many last minute casting changes do. But
this film hardly needs the hint of scandal, not when the beleaguered Gibson is involved.

Firefox with Greasemonkey: The LabelLinks4Gmail Greasemonkey scripts creates nested labels
in your Gmail sidebar. If the idea sounds familiar, that's probably because the previously mentioned Folders4Gmail script has been included with Better Gmail for quite some time. The main difference is that LabelLinks4Gmail
soups up the sidebar so that clicking on a top level folder will reveal the contents of every label
inside that folder—a feature missing from Folders4Gmail. Unfortunately the script doesn't
use the same label naming structure as Folders4Gmail, so making the change isn't as smooth as it
could be (in fact, it's more confusing all-around). However, if you've been dying for fuller
features from the Folders4Gmail script, the LabelLinks4Gmail script is worth a look. Thanks

So often I hear "artists, labels, and publishers have the right...". Well of course they have the
right, both under law and in principle. Is anyone you know really disputing that?
Let's all agree:
1) Artists/owners have the right to control their creative works.
2) These rights will be habitually, and increasingly, violated (sometimes by your most loyal
fans).
3) As these rights are violated, of course artists can avail themselves of legal remedies.
4) However, this will not impact the ongoing, chronic, and mass violation of those rights. See
#2, above.
What is there to argue about? Your work has been illegally wrested from your control. Hey, that's
not right! Agreed. Now you have a simple strategic decision to make: pursue criminal or civil
relief, or don't.
But let's be very clear about the facts and the numbers.
Arresting the GNR leaker has had a measurable impact on GNR piracy. It has increased it,
necessarily, by drawing a lot of attention to it. News cycles do that every time.
All of the leaked tracks continue to be easily obtained from a wide variety of the most popular
destinations on the web. Google, for one. Same as it ever was.

Well, only the leaker (nd now the FBI) knows for sure how many people grabbed the tracks directly
from his own blog before he was shut down, but nothing like the more than 60,000 people (and
counting) who have snagged it since the story of his arrest hit.
Most people learn about these leaks in the press. The bigger the news cycle, the bigger the
leak.

Sorry, should have been clearer: almost no one on torrent sites, as the initial downloading was
directly from his blog. The news story broke five days later and the torrent downloading has been

Since the news cycle broke, almost all of the public (torrent) downloading has taken place, as
the increased media attention created awareness. 90+% of torrent activity has been since the
story broke. But what's more important is that people are _still_ downloading it apace and it is
more public than it was when it was only on the leaker's blog.
Do a Google search for keywords "chinese democracy torrent."

During an interview with McCain campaign manager Rick Davis on the September 5 edition of MSNBC's
Morning Joe in which Davis touted Sen. John McCain as differing from his party in his
support for immigration reform, at no point did NBC News political director Chuck Todd note that
McCain reversed himself on a key component of immigration reform, aligning himself more closely
with the base of his party.
Todd asked Davis if he is "worried the numbers are showing that Senator McCain is performing
worse among Hispanics than President Bush," and added moments later: "He is not getting votes
that his record deserves." Davis replied, in part: "Look what we did as a party. For the last two
years, we've told Hispanic voters that we don't want immigration from the southern border. ...
There's been a nativist discussion in this country that has hurt our party's ability to attract
Hispanic voters." Todd then asked, "Anything to change it?" Davis replied: "The only one in our
party who can do that and set it right is John McCain." However, at no point during the
discussion did Todd mention that, under pressure from the Republican base, McCain reversed
himself on a key component of immigration reform, and nowsays that "we've got to secure the
borders first" -- a position at odds with his prior assertion that border security could not
be disaggregated from other aspects of comprehensive immigration reform without being rendered
ineffective. A November 4, 2007, Associated Press article reporting on McCain's reversal noted
that McCain now "emphasizes securing the borders first," and also quoted McCain stating: "I
understand why you would call it a, quote, shift. ... I say it is a lesson learned about what the
American people's priorities are. And their priority is to secure the borders." McCain also
stated during a January 30 Republican
presidential primary debate that
he would not support the immigration reform bill he co-sponsored with Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA)
if it came to a vote on the Senate floor.
In a March 3 New York Timesarticle, Elisabeth Bumiller wrote, "Senator John McCain likes to present
himself as the candidate of the 'Straight Talk Express' who does not pander to voters or change
his positions with the political breeze. But the fine print of his record in the Senate indicates
that he has been a lot less consistent on some of his signature issues than he has presented
himself to be so far in his presidential campaign." On immigration, Bumiller wrote:
Mr. McCain has also moved from his original position on immigration. In 2005, he joined forces
with Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, to co-sponsor an overhaul of the
nation's immigration laws. Although the legislation included toughening border security, its
center was a provision that would have provided a pathway to citizenship for many of the 12
million illegal immigrants in the United States.
Conservatives immediately branded the bill as amnesty and fired steadily at Mr. McCain. After
seeing his campaign and his fund-raising efforts derail last summer -- which his advisers
attributed in large part to his position on immigration -- Mr. McCain now says that he got the
message from voters. These days he speaks almost exclusively about border security, although he
does say that it is not possible to deport 12 million illegal immigrants and that he would never
deport the mother of a soldier serving in Iraq.
Additionally, in a June 20 Politicopiece,
journalist Gebe Martinez reported on McCain's reversal on immigration:
McCain, the Arizona senator, dismayed Latinos last year when he stepped back from his immigration
bill that would have tightened the borders and legalized undocumented immigrants. As boos and
hisses from angry Republican conservatives grew louder at campaign events, he switched course and
vowed to "first" secure the borders. Were his failed bill to come up again, he would not vote for
it, he said.
[...]
Trying to regain Latino support, McCain has chastised Republicans who stoke the fires of the
immigration at election time. And at a private meeting with Chicago-area Latinos last week, he
promised to push for a comprehensive immigration bill.
"It sounds like he's trying to have it both ways, and it's not convincing anyone," said Frank
Sharry, who also was involved in immigration bill negotiations when he headed the National
Immigration Forum.
This is not the McCain Hispanics thought they knew. Even after the 2001 terrorist attacks placed
an emphasis on national security, McCain's speeches to Latino audiences and on the Senate floor
prioritized the compassionate side of the immigration argument.
He understood that border security "first" means "deportation only" in the eyes of immigrant
activists, and he championed a broader approach.
As the Senate mulled immigration in 2006, McCain often stood in the Capitol's corridors, pounding
his fist in the air, arguing that border enforcement would not work without simultaneously
penalizing employers who hire workers illegally, creating a temporary worker program and finding
a way to bring 12 million illegal immigrants "out of the shadows" of society.
"It won't work! It won't work!" he protested of suggestions to do enforcement first. The stool
cannot stand on one leg.
As Media Mattersnoted, on the
February 14 edition of Morning Joe, Todd asserted that McCain is a "moderate,"
even though McCain has reversed his position on immigration and other issues to align himself with the base of
the Republican Party.
From the September 5 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe:
TODD: Rick, last night -- last night in Senator McCain's speech, I saw him use the word "Latina."
He was talking about a Latina woman, trying to -- it was the first time all week that I had seen
your party even remotely talk about the Hispanics or even reach out to the Hispanic vote. Are you
worried the numbers are showing that Senator McCain is performing worse among Hispanics than
President Bush? And maybe this is a party problem.
DAVIS: Well, sure --
TODD: But how do you carry Colorado and New Mexico and Nevada with underperforming President Bush
on Hispanics?
DAVIS: Oh, look, we don't want to underperform anybody on Hispanics. John McCain is -- for his
entire career --
TODD: Well, that's right. There's no question his record --
DAVIS: -- has gotten more Hispanic votes than any other candidate in the country.
TODD: He's not getting votes that his record deserves.
DAVIS: But look what we did. Look what we --
TODD: In this case --
DAVIS: -- did as a party. For the last two years, we've told Hispanic voters that we don't want
immigration from the southern border, that we don't -- and, you know what? The message, you can't
bifurcate it. It's not just legal immigration and illegal immigration.
TODD: They're not hearing it, and that's been the problem. They're not hearing that.
DAVIS: There's been a nativist discussion in this country that has hurt our party's ability to
attract Hispanic voters.
TODD: Anything to change it?
DAVIS: The only one in our party who can do that and set it right is John McCain.
TODD: Why didn't he talk about it more last night or through this convention?
DAVIS: Well, look, I mean, we had some great people at the convention talking about it -- Tommy
Espinoza, who is Jimmy McCain's godfather, someone who John McCain has done all kinds of good
works with. You know, a former CEO of La Raza was a speaker at our convention. He's not what you
call a rock-ribbed Republican.
You look at our speakers at our convention and we had a lot of people who are not Republicans
come and talk to our convention. And I think the message that our convention gave is the kind of
message that the McCain administration is going to give, and that is party labels don't give you
access. What you -- gives you access is whether you're going to put your country first, set aside
your own partisan interests, and do good for the country.
Last July I wrote about
MyAWOL, a web-centric music label looking to compete with traditional labels, which are becoming
increasingly less relevant as artists turn to digital distribution methods to gain exposure.
While the site has the potential to break some new ground in the online music world, it has run
into a major snag during its buildup to launch: its name sounds almost exactly like My.AOL when
spoken aloud.
In light of this, the company has decided to rename the site to LP33.TV, which
should hopefully be less confusing. LP33 is more memorable, but I think the company
