Royalty Increases Would Threaten iTunes Music Store?

A royalty increase for music tracks distributed online is being ruled on today would see rates increased from 9 cents to 15 cents a track. According to a recently released statement that was originally made in April 2007 by Apple vice president Eddy Cue, such a rate increase could potentially push the iTunes store into operating at a loss, leaving the company in a difficult position. If you believe that actually would be the case if rates were to increase, then it would probably be even harder to consider that Apple may shut down the iTunes music store because of it. Stranger things have happened (particularly if you look at recent economic events), but does this hold water or is it simply Apple aiming to get the public on side before any changes are made?

ET Net News Agency, 10 October 2008> BNP Paribas turned cautious on the China utilities sector because of slower power consumption, delayed capacity cutbacks, high gearing levels, and late tariff hike.

British Government Considers Tenfold Increase to Copyright Penalty

Out-Law is reporting that the British government is planning to increase the maximum fine that can be awarded for online copyright infringement tenfold. "The Government and the Intellectual Property Office (UK-IPO) are consulting on the plans, which would allow Magistrates' Courts in England and Wales to issue summary fines of £50,000 for online copyright infringement. The larger fine is proposed for commercial scale infringements, where the person involved profits from the infringement. The plan would implement another of the recommendations of the Gowers Review of Intellectual Property, the 2006 report by former Financial Times editor Andrew Gowers which has been the foundation of intellectual property policy since its publication."

UK Looks To Increase Penalties For Commercial Online Copyright Infringement 10X

When the "Gowers Report" on copyright first came out in the UK, we pointed out that it had a lot of bad ideas included. The one good point was that copyright length shouldn't be extended any more. So, now that the UK is planning to ignore that one good suggestion, it's moving forward with plans to implement the bad suggestions in the report -- such as increasing the fines for online copyright infringement by 10x. To be fair, this is focused just on "commercial-scale" copying where someone is profiting from the infringement. But, given how the recording industry works, how long until they look for ways to expand that definition or increase the fines for "personal copying" to keep them "more aligned" with the fines for commercial copying?
