A Sony executive in charge of the company’s technology strategy believes that the music industry is not making headway against music pirates, despite the industry’s extensive efforts to halt piracy.
In a heated debate at the Digital Media Summit in Los Angeles Wednesday, Sony executive Albhy Galuten said that he does not believe the music industry is winning the battle against pirating, in any palpable way.
The panel included Ted Cohen, former SVP of Digital Development and Distribution at EMI, Albhy Galutan, VP of Digital Media Technology Strategy at Sony Corporation of America, Ken Hertz of Goldring Hertz & Lichtenstein LLP, Mark Litvack of Mitchell Silberg & Knupp LLP, and was moderated by Michael Stroud of the iHollywood Forum.

Yeah of course they aren’t. Cuz panel monkeys like Albhy and Ted spend all their time at Digital Media Summit or Digital Hollywood or iHollywood or eDigitalMusic talking about the”problem.” They could fix all this in a few days with a nice sampling OF THEIR ACTUAL CUSTOMERS.
Maybe once they realize consumers don’t want to pay more than once for the “rights” to the media and develop a system to distribute the physical media cheaply to someone who’s already purchaed the rights they’ll start to win. Who wants to rebuy that $15 AFI cd they scratched didn’t you already buy it? Wanna but Meet the Fockers on PSP VHS AND DVD? Ah hell no. How about buying the rights to it once and paying a nominal fee to purchase the physical rights to the VHS or DVD itself ya feel me??
Get a clue RIAA.
lets see if they are smart enough and stop waisting money on busting piracy because its just money down the toilet
let’s see if YOU’RE smart enough to spell “wasting.” do you realize spelling even one word wrong when trying to discover an intelligent thought in a tiny brain can cast doubt upon then entire argument?
the/then ironic isn’t it
