EMI Music/Piracy // canavarlar

EMI Music backs a label that turns the traditional economics of the
recording industry on its head. Vivendi's Universal Music Group creates
multiple pricing schemes for CDs. Sony BMG Music Entertainment and
Yahoo decide to sell a single without digital rights restrictions. These
moves typify a flurry of experimentation by major record labels in recent
weeks, and stand in stark contrast to earlier behavior by an industry that
six years ago was best known for launching anti-piracy lawsuits against
Napster -- a network that originally swapped music files for free -- and
individual users. Today, according to experts at Wharton, the recording
industry is actively trying to create new business models as it navigates
the emerging Internet-enabled landscape.
