vaughanz Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Not sure how "BIG NAME" this dj was... but BIG fine for that chump!And don't most "big-name" guys have music HANDED to them? -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+Italian DJ fined for music piracyWed Feb 16, 2005 07:49 PM GMT*ROME (Reuters) - An Italian DJ has been fined a record 1.4 million euros (970,000 pounds) for using thousands of pirate music files in a nightclub near Rome, police say.Police in the town of Rieti, near Rome, said on Wednesday they raided a popular nightclub earlier this week as part of a crackdown on piracy and seized 500 illegally copied music videos and more than 2,000 MP3 music files.Police said the files belonged to a "well-known" Italian DJ."For the MP3 files, which were kept on the DJ's personal computer, the DJ has received a fine of 1.4 million euros," Rieti finance police said in a statement.The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) said the fine was the biggest ever slapped on an individual for unlawful music copying and the use of copyrighted music in the MP3 format.More than 7,000 legal actions have been launched against alleged uploaders in the United States, Canada and countries in Europe as the music industry fights to stop piracy which it blames for a decline over a number of years in CD sales.

philippio Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 If it is true, I'm wondering what will happen to the really expensive vinyl cutters? Will they be sold at auctions? Also, does anyone know if the vinyl that is used to make records is actually PVC (polyvinyl chloride) like the one used to make household piping???

lyrik Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 About vinyl:Universal Music to close vinyl record factory in GloversvilleFebruary 4, 2005, 7:06 AM ESTGLOVERSVILLE, N.Y. -- Universal Music is closing its vinyl record plant here, cutting 112 jobs. Company spokesman Peter Lofrumento declined to discuss the reasons behind the closure. Workers at the plant, which opened in 1964, are responsible for pressing records, printing labels and jackets and shipping product. Universal's records will be pressed by a third party in the future, Lofrumento said. The first wave of job cuts is scheduled for April 8. The factory will shut down on May 6. "While decisions like these are difficult to make and are not undertaken lightly, they are necessary to meet the many new challenges brought about as the industry continues to rapidly evolve," Lofrumento said. Members of Local 348 of the Union of Needle Trades, Industrial and Textile Employees-Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees learned of the plant shutdown on Thursday. Union district manager Robert Bruse said union and management officials would meet to iron out details about employees' benefits. Gloversville is 38 miles northwest of Albany. ___ Information from: The Daily Gazette, http://www.dailygazette.com/ Subscribe to Newsday home delivery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
