Synopsis:
In 2006, a group of friends decided to make a film about filesharing that we would recognise.

There have been a few documentaries by 'old media' crews who don't understand the net and see peer-to-peer organisation as a threat to their livelihoods. They have no reason to represent the filesharing movement positively, and no capacity to represent it lucidly.

Genre: Documentary

Producer: The League Of Noble Peers

T#0010 - This Must Be Love - Here's a Cool "Soundscape Fusion" track I recorded back in Oct. of 2001 with a few sounds from Mina.

Citing a failure by the government of Canada to make illegal the recording of movies directly from the screen by camcorder, the studio will not issue advance screenings of such audience pleasers like "Harry Potter and the Order of The Phoenix" and "Ocean's 13." The ban will not affect press screenings.

The CEO of Cineplex Entertainment said illegal recording is a big concern because once a movie is bootlegged in a theatre, it then becomes accessible via the Internet.

"The technology has changed but the copyright laws in Canada haven't kept pace with it," Ellis Jacob told CTV Newsnet in Toronto on Tuesday.

Jacob said Canada's copyright laws should be updated to get in line with those of other countries: "where it would be a criminal offence for somebody caught (recording) in a theatre, which would include both fines plus jail time."

Some reports say pirated movies are costing Hollywood studios more than US$6 billion each year. Earlier this year Twentieth Century Fox investigators claimed that at one point in 2006, almost half of all illegal movies originated from theatrical recording.

"In most cases, they're copies where you can see (audience members) standing up through the movie," said Jacob in an earlier interview.

"As the cameras get better and more sophisticated, the quality improves dramatically."

Technology exists to accurately determine which theatre pirated films were recorded in, and analysts say up to a quarter of illegally copied films originate from Canada.

"In the last three years we've created the technology that puts a watermark on every movie print that's sent out of Hollywood," Douglas Frith, of the Canadian Motion Pictures Distributors Association, told CTV's Mike Duffy Live.

"So when you find a pirated version anywhere on the Internet, from that watermark we can determine where it was camcorded. And for 20 to 25 per cent of the cases worldwide in 2005, it was camcorded in Canada. That number, compared to the size of our population, is astronomical."

Filming inside a theatre is not a criminal offence in Canada, and theatre owners are lobbying Ottawa to bring in tougher laws to combat the practice.

"We're pushing to have a Criminal Code amendment so that if you're caught camcording in the theatre, it's a criminal offence," said Frith.

"That's essentially what we need to do to begin to even put a dent in camcording and piracy in Canada."

Heritage Minister Bev Oda released a statement Monday, saying she is currently working on a plan to tackle piracy in Canada.

"Our government is aware of the problem of piracy and the role of camcording in contributing to that problem," she said.

"We are committed to protect the work of creators and take this issue seriously. I am currently working with my colleague, the minister of justice, on measures to address this issue."

Jacob says the same issue existed in the United States until laws in close to 40 states were amended to make film pirating a criminal offence.

"It pretty well eliminated piracy in the U.S.," he says.

Frith notes that the real target of the laws would be organized criminals.

"We're not looking at the individuals who go in for fun to camcord a film in a theatre. It's organized crime. People are going in, they get paid between $5,000 to $7,000 for a very good copy of a film."

Michael Geist, Canada Research Chair of Internet and E-commerce Law at the University of Ottawa had a different take on the matter. He suggested that "knee-jerk legislation" based on "unverified and inconsistent data" is not a wise move, "given that since legislation, making recording a movie an infringement already exists."

According to Geist, there is a lack of consistency amongst the various studios and their respective lobbies in the figures they cite as Canada's contribution to the problem. "In the past few months they have cited 20 per cent, 40 per cent, 50 per cent and now 70 per cent, none of which are based on independent, audited studies," he said.

Finally, Geist pointed out we must also remember there were claims circulating that "Spider-Man 3" was available on the streets of Beijing a full two weeks before its release, yet it still set box office records.

Here's my 2 cents!!! I think the folks at the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) took "South Park The Movie" to seriously.

As for Spiderman 3...I don't know anything about the streets of Beijing but I do know Spiderman 3 has been available on the net for a few weeks now.

The groundbreaking initiative brings together Nettwerk's management, publishing and digital delivery expertise with the global marketing power made of EA's blockbuster games. The Artwerk label will sign and develop both new and established artists for publishing, master recording and sync deals, as well as digital and physical distribution. The Los Angeles-based label will be actively pursuing talent in all parts of the world.

"For the past five years, EA has been instrumental in breaking new artists, but we have been limited in our ability to grow them. With Artwerk, we can now directly sign, develop and launch artists for publishing, master recordings, sync deals and beyond," said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Marketing at EA. With Nettwerk, we are once again partnered with the most visionary team in the industry.

Terry McBride, CEO of Nettwerk added, "EA has emerged as a powerful publishing vehicle for emerging artists with an A&R department that draws submissions from around the globe. It is time for the music industry to shake things up, break out new bands and find new ways to expose them on a global scale. Artwerk is music 2.0. It is where music, games and digital entertainment merge."

According to Robertson, Barenaked Ladies also embraces new technology to benefit their fans.

Need proof? The band records all of their concerts and sells them on USB drives after the show.

'What they get is a version of the show with no copy protection whatsoever -- they can do with it as they will -- they can burn 100 copies of it if they want, they can listen to it in their car, whatever.'

So, you're not concerned about piracy? Answers Robertson: 'People should be rewarded for buying music not punished for it; when I buy a CD I want to be able to load it into my iTunes library and make a mix CD for a friend or make a copy for the car or my cottage.' 'I don't go for this 'if I buy it, I only get to listen to it 3 times'.'

Page mirrors Robertson's sentiment: 'I think non-DRM [digital rights management] is really important to future of our business, not to restrict people' explains Page. 'The mistakes we're making right now is that we're trying to direct and control how people use music and I think that's pushing people away...'

'Sharing is a big part of music, its how you grow a fan base...how to get a taste of music and engage with it' Page adds.

Robertson and Page were asked if the iTunes model works or not. 'On one hand, iTunes gets it right by offering a ton of exclusive content with artist involvement and fan involvement' begins Robertson. 'But there's still not enough choice, prices are still too high and I'd like to see higher quality downloads, though it's likely a bandwidth issue.' Robertson says the Barenaked Ladies offers 'lossless'-quality FLAC digital downloads from its Web site.

Page agrees $0.99 cents a song is too much. 'I think $0.20 to $0.25 cents [per song] is reasonable, but it's the wrong way to look at it.' 'Take a look at what people are doing: using P2P services to download everything from an artist and then deciding which ones to keep' explains Page.

'So, charging each song as an individual transaction is the wrong way to look at it - instead we should be monetizing music at the point of entry to the Internet, so if it's already on there, it's legal, and you can take what you want - then track what's being taken and shared, and have a Nielson survey on what people are emailing, IM-ing or downloading' says Page.

LoRa sent me this joke a few days ago...

A stranger was seated next to a little girl on an airplane. The stranger turned to her and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger." The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger, "What would you like to talk about?" "Oh, I don't know," said the stranger. "-how about nuclear power?" "OK." she said. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first; A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat grass-the same stuff. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?" The stranger thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."

"Do you actually feel qualified to discuss nuclear power, when you don't know shit?" says the girl as she goes back to reading her book.
