DigiPie Knows How to Win Against P2P Without Suing, Will the RIAA Listen?
Quote: "DigiPie can do for the new digital recording industry what the RIAA did for the previous model, without the negativity. However, we are very close to commercializing DigiPie privately and independent of that previous model. This is ironic as this was not my intention. I would rather see the entire industry run with the DigiPie model and maximize the potential to benefit all concerned. If the RIAA wants to gatekeep and monitor numbers for the recording industry in the digital age, then they should simply sanction or have their own downloading service for all of it's members and stop suing our citizens who are just keeping up with technology."
(PRWEB) September 27, 2004 -- Two years ago the inventors of DigiPie, (EquityMusic.com at that time), approached the RIAA with the hopes of introducing their model and software to RIAA members. While Ms. Rosen's office, (CEO of the RIAA at the time), allowed a demonstration of the model via telephone, (the software was in development), the RIAA chose not to introduce the model to it's members claiming neutrality in potentially profitable matters. What they failed to understand is the model and software was specifically designed for the recording industry as a whole. Any label can participate bringing their entire roster in part or in full. Any artist can do the same. The model is based upon a large volume of material being released for public consumption.
The huge advantage to the recording industry is the software automates most functions of a recording company and it makes new talent readily available for them to filter instead of having to ignore the majority of talent because of financial restraints. The future is going to be faster turnovers in products and artists. The need to "milk" one song/release to death will be a thing of the past, the people are demanding it.
In a rare interview, Max Davis, a co-founder of DigiPie is quoted as saying, "DigiPie can do for the new digital recording industry what the RIAA did for the previous model without the negativity. However, we are very close to commercializing DigiPie privately and independent of that previous model. This is ironic as this was not my intention. I would rather see the entire industry run with the DigiPie model and maximize the potential to benefit all concerned. If the RIAA wants to gatekeep and monitor numbers for the recording industry in the digital age, then they should simply sanction or have their own downloading service for all of it's members and stop suing our citizens who are just keeping up with technology. I am trying to get speaking time at the Billboard Digital Entertainment Conference & Awards to explain our position. Otherwise, our freshly minted business plan for private funding has a January 2005 fruition date." (To view the entire interview contact Glenn Clarke at Brazasia1@yahoo.com).
