Adobe, make some noise, please

Subscription is coming
… make it cheap. Since it still is the four majors that carry almost all music, they should have introduced dirt cheap subscription years ago. They would have made the same money – and they would have carved way through to keeping their position for years to come. Now it is coming. (Maybe) Sooner than one might [...]

Music has-beens line up to sue The Pirate Bay: Easy money
Justice or money grab? Bands are lining up to sue The Pirate Bay now that the Swedish government has indicted the site’s owners, but their plans could backfire as the promises of sunken treasure give way to reality.

But hiding is becoming somewhat trendy when making mistakes… At least they have some 30 million to [...]
