UK music fans can copy own tracks
UK music fans no longer face the threat of prosecution for copying their own CDs on to PCs or MP3 players, as long as the songs are only for personal use.
Peter Jamieson, chairman of the British Phonographic Industry, said consumers would only be penalised if they made duplicates of songs for other people.
Currently anyone transferring music to portable devices breaks copyright laws.
The music industry has traditionally turned a blind eye, however, in favour of targeting "professional" pirates.
"We believe that we now need to make a clear and public distinction between copying for your own use and copying for dissemination to third parties," said Mr Jamieson, whose organisation represents the UK's record labels.
He told the Commons select committee for culture, media and sport that he wanted to "make it unequivocally clear to the consumer that if they copy their CDs for their own private use in order to move the music from format to format, we will not pursue them".
Domination 'not healthy'
Mr Jamieson also called for Apple - which makes the popular iPod portable music player - to open up its iTunes software so it is compatible with the technology of other manufacturers.
Apple applies a digital protection system to its downloads, which means they are not usually compatible with other companies' devices.
He said iTunes' dominant market share in downloads was "not particularly healthy" and said he "would advocate that Apple opts for interoperability".
Consumers in the UK pay 79p per track on iTunes and - generally - £7.90 for a full album, although this can vary according to the number of songs and the status of the artiste in question.
In February, music industry investigators claimed someone in almost every street in every town in the UK was illegally copying music and film.
The Federation Against Copyright Theft and British Phonographic Industry said home counterfeiters now accounted for the majority of their investigations.

The Section 115 Reform Act (SIRA), in complex language that will make your head spin, introduces mandatory licenses for basically every digital copy made of a piece of music. So, if you copy a song from a CD to your MP3 player, you'd need a license to do so - and we're right there where the copyright industry has wanted to go all along: the pay per view society where each time you listen to a song, you'll have to pay for it.

The RIAA has slapped the brakes on a P2P music streaming in the UK - Tiscali's "Tiscali Juke Box" has apparently become a victim of its own features when Tiscali added a search engine to the service. The RIAA wants more money for service that allows consumer to search by artists.

I just got back from MONTEREAU's gig in FRANCE!
That one has to be added to the numerous outstanding performances of Joe.
It was really cool to see him play with the brand new "Super Colossal" Ibanez.
Looking forward to the Grand Rex concert on July 6.
Joe rules, people!

Melzie, a few yrs ago we drove down to O.C., MD and back, and we must have seen 100 of those damn oval OBX bumper stickers on other cars. I got irritated and found the perfect anti-OBX sticker. It was a simple white oval sticker that read.... FU
I had it on my Honda until we sold it. Now it's on a tool cabinet in the garage.
;-)
Never been there, but they tell me it's nice...
LOL!!!
And now back to my regularly scheduled...wait, I have no regular schedule. Nevermind...

Yes Michelle, I agree that the OBX bumper stickers are kind of lame. I was fine with a nail file that said Cape Hatteras on it. Hey, what can I say...my nails were all messed up and I was desperate for a file! Anyhow, it really is beautiful here. We watched T-Storms roll in last night and found huge shells and sand dollars. The beach is unlike any I've ever been on.
