Why shopping is moving online; and the music industry sues itself
Two more articles (oh, busy busy busy).
Over at Netimperative, in No, I’m just looking before I buy it online I’ve been examining the way that high street chains are trying to follow people online by putting their advertising there. Not going to work, I think - shopping over the Net is getting so much easier that there are only a few wrinkles left to work out. However, some of those are showstoppers.. which only one or two search engines have figured out. (Have you tried searching for “DVD recorder £200″ on some shopping comparison sites lately?)
Meanwhile at The Register I’ve looked at why the BPI (the record label representative) is suing another arm of the music business, the Mechanical Copyright Protection Society. (And also ask: what the hell is mechanical copyright on digital songs?)
