  • Microsoft turn their back on WMDRM and their customers (again!!)

    I read with some dismay and anger that MSN Music UK - is to stop supporting the WMDRM from 31st August 2008. Which means that after this time users will not be able to relicence THEIR music that they purchased!!! No wonder it's so hard for people like me to evangelise to others about the world of digital media when short sightedness companies ...

  • Welcome to the Free World (Blog version)

    A little while ago along with my usual ranting and ramblings I actually was strapped down and forced to write in a cohesive and structured manner.

  • The Madman Returns... (Part II) - The Digital Revolution Movement (DRM)?

    So I started by Blog a few months ago by announcing that we are undertaking a Digital Revolution (Part VIII) – some say that I may have sounded rather cynical, nae, flippant about this topic.

  • A Music Crisis or Over Paid Hype? - The Great Prince CD Giveaway

    CD Giveaways on the cover of magazines have been around for decades – I remember having my Adam and the Ants 7” flexi-disc in the 80’s (A.N.T.S. to the tune of YMCA) all the way through to Q Magazine introducing new up and coming acts of the new decade (1990s) a new band called Pearl Jam , back then each disc was created to ...
