Robertson on Innovation and the Music Industry

by on April 30, 2011

The latest Triangulation podcast features a riveting discussion with Michael Robertson, MP3.com founder, about his various attempts to provide cloud or efficient music and movie streaming from the cloud and how the movie and music industries continually sue and thwart him. They also discuss online education near the end of the interview. Host Tom Merritt comes tantalizingly close to realizing something is wrong with the whole notion of copyright.

See also Molly Wood on CNET’s Buzz Report (at 2:17-2:48) discussing the self-destructive actions of movie studios in fighting YouTube’s attempt to rent movies on-demand.

The Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom (C4SIF) is dedicated to building public awareness of the manner in which so-called “intellectual property” (IP) laws and policies impede innovation, creativity, communication, learning, knowledge, emulation, and information sharing. We are for property rights, free markets, competition, commerce, cooperation, and the voluntary sharing of knowledge, and oppose IP laws, which systematically impede or hamper innovation. IP law should be completely and immediately abolished.

We provide news commentary and analysis and scholarly resources from our unique pro-property, pro-market, pro-innovation perspective.
