Google, yet another music service offering. Or, another tactic.

john.dupuis@mimtid.com (John Dupuis) — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 03:56:40 -0500

As anticipated, record labels will yet again be swooned into another Google scheme. No deal should be struck among the counterparties, including Harry Fox, until Google agrees to permanently remove repeated infringing sites from search results and a precise mechanism for immediate processing of DMCA take down notices is agreed upon and secured with the issuance of a performance bond to each participant by Google. However, we see the potential for any logical thinking or dealmaking by the record labels as illusory.

Music Biz Wants Google To Stop Linking To The Pirate Bay

john.dupuis@mimtid.com (John Dupuis) — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 23:05:22 -0700

A recent copyright takedown notice from the UK’s BPI revealed that the music group has been demanding that Google take down links not just to precise URLs where music is hosted on cyberlockers, but rather more generally referencing the entire site. Now it appears that IFPI, the BPI’s big brother, is trying a similar strategy, this time with The Pirate Bay.

MiMTiD LAUNCHES COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT SEARCH WEB APPLICATION

john.dupuis@mimtid.com (John Dupuis) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 12:50:08 -0600

MiMTiD LAUNCHES COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT SEARCH WEB APPLICATION

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Houston, Texas January 27th, 2010 - Today MiMTiD Corp. announced it is releasing the MiMTiD Copyright Infringement Search web application at www.MiMTiD.com. MiMTiD today unveiled a new and exciting way to help protect copyright owners from copyright infringement. The new web application provides copyright infringement search, DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act) take down notice submission, management and tracking services. MiMTiD enables copyright owners to search for and locate infringed content and submit DMCA take down notices to infringing sites and search engines.

“Using our proprietary search, copyright owners can quickly locate infringing sites and search engines and file DMCA take down notices. What’s new is that we are now capturing advertiser information. Advertisers appearing along side the infringed content are enabling these sites to stay in business. At this stage in the game, it is critical that we link the advertisers to the infringed content.” says MiMTiD Managing Director John Dupuis.

This is great news for musicians, songwriters, authors, publishing companies, record companies, movie production companies, and all those who are the owners of copyrighted materials that are being victimized by copyright infringement on the Internet.

“An important strength of our technology is its ability to direct the MiMTiD Copyright Infringement Crawler based on customer DMCA submissions, real-time, enabling immediate discovery of new infringing sites.” says David Cox MiMTiD Chief Executive Officer.

The MiMTiD institutional product called Valkyrie is designed for large record labels, movie studios and book publishers. Data captured by both the web application and Valkyrie is processed with our clustering technology in our data center to help us tune our search algorithms to discover new sources of infringed content and to link the advertisers to the user reported infringements.

For a subscription fee, users can obtain access to the MiMTiD web application at www.MiMTiD.com and begin making DMCA submissions.

“We are very excited about the prospects for the new web application and encouraged by the growing interest in our institutional business. With the introduction of Valkyrie and the web application, MiMTiD hopes to make a contribution that will bring the “Wild West of Infringement” phase of the Internet to an end.” says John Dupuis.

Google and MS sued over links to file-sharing site

john.dupuis@mimtid.com (John Dupuis) — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 23:06:31 -0600

By Cade Metz in San Francisco •

Posted in Music and Media, 9th December 2009 22:35 GMT
Mini music label Blue Destiny Records has sued both Google and Microsoft for allegedly "facilitating and enabling" the illegal distribution of copyrighted songs.

Filed on Monday with a US federal court in Northern Florida, the suit is an attempt to choke off the distribution of Blue Destiny tunes on the Germany-based file-sharing service RapidShare, also named as a defendant. It accuses RapidShare of knowingly running "a distribution center for unlawful copies of copyrighted works," while claiming that Google and Microsoft are propping the company up.

Record Label Sues Google and Microsoft for Linking to Infringing Music--Blues Destiny v. Google By Eric Goldman

Blues Destiny Records LLC v. Google, Inc., 3:09-cv-00538-WS-EMT (N.D. Fla. complaint filed Dec. 7, 2009) [warning: 1.5MB PDF]

Blues Destiny Records, a small Blues music label, doesn't like RapidShare, a website that allows users to publish files, because users are posting its copyrighted music there. It also doesn't like that people who search for the label's artists in Google and Microsoft get search results that link to sites that link to allegedly infringing copyrighted copies on RapidShare. The complaint was ambiguously worded in describing whether Google and Microsoft directly link to RapidShare or only indirectly link to sites that link to RapidShare, but my own searches indicated that Google's search results did not take searchers directly to RapidShare. So I believe the information flows are something like this:

Blues Destiny Records Sues Microsoft, Google - By Reverend Keith A. Gordon, About.com Guide to Blues

john.dupuis@mimtid.com (John Dupuis) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 02:09:39 -0600

In a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Pensacola on December 7th, the Florida-based independent blues label Blues Destiny Records has charged tech industry heavyweights Microsoft and Google, as well as the German file sharing service Rapidshare, with copyright infringement. At issue are the search functions of Google and Microsoft's Bing, which allow users to search for artist names and album titles and find websites featuring illegal downloads of Blues Destiny releases that are hosted by Rapidshare.

Doing a little online investigatory work last month, Blues Destiny found links to illegal downloads of its three most recently released CDs, from artists Ronny Sessum, Roy Powers, and Peter McGraw, and decided to file suit on this basis. However, search engines like Google and Bing are generally protected under the law as "safe havens," especially since neither seem to be linking directly to the digital files in question, but rather to websites that are linked to the files on Rapidshare. Although they are included in the Blues Destiny lawsuit, as a German company Rapidshare is not subject to U.S. copyright laws.

The Reverend has heard from several leading blues record labels about how illegal file sharing has impacted their sales, and thus their ability to sign and develop new blues talent. In the case of Blues Destiny, a small label seemingly specializing in regional talent, the potential financial impact of seeing three of their hottest new releases available online for free must be particularly galling. It's unlikely that they're going to win anything from the deep-pockets of either Google or Microsoft (the latter of which has removed the offending links from their service, anyway), but maybe they're just trying to get a little publicity for their plight.

There is no doubt that illegal file-sharing has had an impact on the music industry. The Reverend has always preached that we should support the indie labels that release the music we live for, so rather than download that album from an unauthorized source, why not buy a little something from Alligator Records, Delmark Records, Blind Pig, Telarc, Delta Groove, Blue Bella and/or the other blues labels we love?!!!
