Da oggi si avvicina all&#8217;<strong>e-commerce</strong> e lancia <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/blog" target="_blank">click to buy</a></strong>, un nuovo sistema di gestione di link (relativi ai video mostrati agli utenti) che portano ai suoi partner commerciali, per ora solo <strong>Amazon</strong> (videogames video e musica) e <strong>Apple</strong> (musica e video), ma in futuro ne sono attesi molti altri.</p>
<p>Il <a href="http://www.youtube.com/blog" target="_blank"><strong>blog di You Tube</strong></a> spiega bene la visione e l&#8217;implementazione della nuova strategia commerciale, che dovrebbe portare a una &#8221;broad, viable <strong>eCommerce</strong> platform for users and partners on <strong>YouTube</strong>&#8221; secondo una logica in grado di aiutare i &#8220;partners across all industries &#8212; from <strong>music</strong>, to <strong>film</strong>, to <strong>print</strong>, to <strong>TV</strong> &#8211;  offer useful and relevant products to a large, yet targeted audience, and generate additional revenue from their content on YouTube beyond the advertising we serve against their videos&#8221;.</p>
<p>Il gigante dei video condivisi online parla chiaramente di tutte le industrie dei media (dalla <strong>stampa</strong>, alla <strong>musica</strong> ai <strong>film</strong> alla <strong>tv</strong>) e di un modello di business che va oltre la semplice pubblicità. E&#8217; il momento dell&#8217; <strong>ecommerce  customizzato</strong>. E delle grandi alleanze tra i protagonisti di internet per vendere online i loro prodotti. Alleanze dettate dalla convergenza dei reciproci interessi e dalla necessità di recuperare i costi degli investimenti nelle infrastrutture compiuti negli anni passati.</p>
<p>Non è un caso poi che la prima alleanza sia stata fatta da tre operatori tra i protagonisti del <strong>download</strong> multimediale di file protetti da <strong>copyright</strong>, tre protagonisti che hanno fortemente creduto (e investito) nelle tecnologie, nelle persone e nei data center in grado di gestire continuamente il download di Terabyte di dati, tre aziende pioniere nella costruzione di nuovi mercati legati alla <strong>proprietà intellettuale</strong>, alle <strong>licenze</strong> e al <strong>copyright</strong>. </p>
<p>Del resto l&#8217;acquisizione di <strong>YouTube</strong> nel 2006 è stata molto onerosa e la gestione della piattaforma tecnologica del servizio (data center + banda) deve avere costi altissimi, anche per <strong>Google</strong>. Era necessario quindi trovare prima o poi un modo per monetizzare il successo  di <strong>www.youtube.com</strong> e concretizzarne il vantaggio competitivo.</p>
<p>Purtroppo i termini degli accordi con <strong>Amazon</strong> e <strong>Apple</strong> non sono stati divulgati.</p>

<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-194" title="violin-on-wall-500x375" src="http://ipfaber.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/violin-on-wall-500x375.jpg?w=500&#038;h=375" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>In one of the most compelling and intriguing articles ever appeared on a blog, <strong>Ian Rogers</strong>, a well regarded <strong>Yahoo!</strong> executive, urges the <strong>music industry</strong> to find out a new vision.</p>
<p>The blog, titled &#8220;<a title="Ian Rogers" href="http://fistfulayen.com/blog/?p=127" target="_blank">CONVENIENCE WINS, HUBRIS LOSES AND CONTENT VS. CONTEXT</a>&#8221; is also a brief history of the <strong>music industry</strong> as seen from a techno geek of the last 10 years and we want to thank Mr. Rogers for sharing with us his thoughts, and a vision that at <strong>IP Faber</strong> we are continously proposing since our inception.</p>
<p>Roger&#8217;s statement &#8220;<strong>it’s time we pay closer attention to consumer</strong>&#8221; is both revolutionary and strategic. Back in 1999 <strong>Recording Labels</strong> got to know what was <strong>Napster</strong>, but instead of understanding a changing life phenomenon and offering some kind of alterative, they started suing <strong>Napster</strong> and other <strong>P2P</strong> sites and their users.</p>
<p>But <strong>P2P</strong> is a technology platform, inherent to tcp/ip protocol and is therefore not good or bad in itself, but hey, is so easy to sue a company for <strong>infringing copyright</strong>! Technology changes at a fast pace, so after <strong>Napster</strong> and a pletora of other <strong>P2P</strong> websites, it was the time for <strong>Gnutella</strong> and <strong>P2P</strong> software (that actually doesn&#8217;t use the website for storing music). <strong>Gnutella</strong> is basically a way for sharing bits (any kind of electronic data) between 2 computers connected to one or more networks.</p>
<p>Mr. Rogers correctly says that this is &#8220;trivial, is physics and unstoppable&#8221;. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s physics, it&#8217;s unstoppable. Period.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why you need to put your energy elsewhere. So he urged music labels to sell their content to their users in the format they were asking for: <strong>MP3</strong>.   <strong>Make it easy, he wrote, and convenience will beat free</strong>. This was in 1999.</p>
<p>The convenience beats free.  They did the opposite: instead of creating a <strong>blue ocean</strong>, they went for the old-fashioned way and decided to sell music via internet <strong>protected with DRM</strong> (<strong>SDMI</strong>, <strong>Liquid Audio</strong>, <strong>Pressplay</strong>, <strong>Coral</strong>, etc). Any success? None.  Any hope they&#8217;ll ever make it? Nope.</p>
<p>So, the question is: <strong>what do costumer want?</strong> A nice, fast and secure <strong>experience</strong>.</p>
<p>Hum, let me think&#8230; oh yes, I&#8217;ve got it, this is <strong>iTunes</strong>: friendly interface, easy to use (and buy) platform, good price on quality ratio (well, almost).</p>
<p><strong>Amazon</strong> is doing it also better, because it is adding the <strong>first DRM free music experience working on any digital player</strong>. Music is becoming what it was at the beginning: <strong>copyrighted art</strong> without <strong>Digital Right Management</strong>. <strong>Ian Rogers</strong> acknowledges the same: &#8220;<strong>Amazon</strong>’s finally doing what was clearly the right solution in 1999. <strong>Music in the format that people actually want</strong> it in, with a Web-based experience that’s simple and works with any device.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now let&#8217;s go back back to the people who have the power to change things (if they ever want to): what are you guys still waiting for?</p>
<p><em>(<strong>IP Faber</strong>: <a title="IP Faber" href="http://www.ipfaber.com" target="_self">solutions for <strong>copyright</strong> which makes sense. Contact Us</a>)</em></p>
<p>Il pensiero di <strong>Ian Rogers</strong>, responsabile dell&#8217;area media di <strong>Yahoo</strong>! , sollecita l&#8217;<strong>industria musicale</strong> a trovare una nuova dimensione, più attenta a cogliere i segnali che arrivano direttamente dai consumatori. Quando nel 99 scoppiò il caso <strong>Napster</strong> &#8211; scrive Rogers dal <a title="Ian Rogers Blog" href="http://fistfulayen.com/blog/?p=127" target="_blank">proprio blog</a> &#8211; non ci si interrogò se qualcosa stava cambiando e che cosa occorreva cambiare, ma si iniziarono una serie di cause contro quei soggetti che si servivano del <strong>peer-to-peer</strong> per lo scambio di <strong>musica digitale</strong> non autorizzata. Il <strong>P2P</strong> è una tecnologia, è qualcosa di fisico&#8230; rappresentava un fenomeno inevitabile ed inarrestabile. Eppure le Major &#8211; osserva Rogers &#8211; non capirono di trovarsi di fronte ad un&#8217;opportunità senza precedenti, un mercato vergine da esplorare.</p>
<p>La risposta ai &#8220;rischi&#8221; del <strong>P2P</strong>, da parte delle major musicali, fu l&#8217;introduzione dei <strong>DRM</strong> sulla musica fruita daI consumatore. Ma il consumatore vuole veramente <strong>musica protetta da DRM</strong>? &#8211; si interroga Rogers. Il mercato ora sta dando una chiara risposta in senso assolutamente opposto. Tant&#8217;è che sia <strong>iTunes</strong> (iTunes plus) che <strong>Amazon</strong>  (<strong>Amazon Mp3</strong>)già stanno mettendo a disposizione degli users quello che gli users da tempo cercano: <strong>musica senza DRM</strong>, scaricabile in modo facile e sicuro ed utilizzabile su apparecchiature diverse.</p>
<p>E non stiamo parlando di musica piratata.  Stiamo parlando del mercato musicale del futuro.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Apple</strong> is trying to enter (for the second time) in a high profitable market: </span>movie and video rentals<span style="font-weight:normal;"> via internet.</span></span></p>
<div>It&#8217;s not the first try and it&#8217;s not the first company doing this, but the fact that the maker of the very fashionable <strong>iPod</strong> &amp; <strong>iPhone</strong> is focusing on video rental is particularly interesting.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>ANALYSIS</div>
<div><strong>Apple</strong> is becoming (like <strong>Microsoft</strong> and <strong>Sony</strong>) a multi-product electronic company (well, it still lacks some serious attempt to enter the gaming scene), and its business model is becoming more structured.</div>
<div>From <strong>Apple Computers</strong>, the company profits from hardware high margins (bundle software is not that important unless <strong>Apple</strong> buys <strong>Adobe</strong> or some other big sw giant), <strong>iPod</strong> gives nice revenues both from the hardware and the <strong>iTunes</strong> music downloads (4 billions songs downloaded in the last few years) and <strong>iPhone</strong> is more a revenue sharing product (with Telecom companies as partners) than a high margin hot selling hardware gadget.</div>
<div>Now what?</div>
<div>They start renting videos (well, they started one year ago, but we can say it hasn&#8217;t been a huge success) for few bucks a piece.</div>
<div>Let&#8217;s take a short break and see how things are developing for consumers and businesses. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Why <strong>video internet rental</strong> is a (potential) huge market:</div>
<div>- broadband is everywhere (and becoming a commodity)</div>
<div>- people prefer <strong>on-demand video</strong> (watch what you want, where you want, on the device you choose and when you want it!) </div>
<div>- devices capable of digital video  playing are cheap (set top box, computers, <strong>iPods</strong>&#8230;)</div>
<div>- TVs are becoming large video walls (and 32&#8243; to 42&#8243; lcd TVs where last Christmas top priority for families)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>How is the Film industry changing:</div>
<div>- <strong>Movie companies</strong> executives don&#8217;t want to make the same mistake made by their colleagues in the music sector</div>
<div>- new media equals new revenues, so why don&#8217;t you try to exploit that?</div>
<div>- if you don&#8217;t do it, your competitor will!</div>
<div>- you have the product, now let&#8217;s start unpacking and sell it through the most possible wide area of different devices, markets </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Apple signed an agreement with almost every big movie company, and even if we haven&#8217;t been able to examine figures for that agreement, we still believe it made some good deals. </div>
<div>OPINION</div>
<div>The next future will prove if <strong>Apple</strong> is right, but it seems that as more and more companies are entering into this (plenty of competitors) market, <strong>Apple</strong> with is unique <strong>hardware-software-users platform</strong> has a big competitive advantage.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><a href="http://ipfaber.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/itunes-plus-drm.jpg" title="iTunes drm incorporated"><img src="http://ipfaber.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/itunes-plus-drm.jpg" alt="iTunes drm incorporated" /></a></p>
<p>Digital Reg of Texas, <a href="http://news.justia.com/cases/20070525225338/">is suing</a> <strong>Microsoft</strong>, <strong>Sony</strong>, <strong>Hustler</strong> (Playboy) and <strong>Apple</strong> for a <strong>patent infringement</strong> related to DRM Technology, in particular &#8220;by making, using, providing, offering to sell, and selling (directly or through intermediaries), <strong>digital content incorporating DRM technology</strong>&#8220;.</p>
<p>The patent, dated 1998,  is <strong>not exclusive to music data</strong>, and describes a system where &#8220;digital content such as text, video, and music are stored as part of a compressed and encrypted data file. Said content remains inaccessible until a user purchases or arranges for authorization of the content.&#8221;</p>
<p>THE POINT&gt; We are talking about a patented technology that is covering what is now a very hot <strong>business model</strong> on the web: selling DRM protected data via internet.</p>
<p>IP FABER OPINION&gt; It&#8217;s not a problem regarding only a small company: this is, or could turn out to be, a major case of patent infringement. Digital Reg is facing a tough battle against these giants, but in case of success&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p align="left">Un difensore civico norvegese ha puntato il dito sulla tecnologia <strong>Fairplay</strong> della <strong>Apple</strong> che permette di far girare la musica scaricata da <strong>iTunes</strong> sui soli lettori <strong>Apple</strong> ed impedisce di riprodurre musica scaricata da <strong>iTunes</strong> su lettori mp3 diversi dall&#8217;<strong>iPod</strong>. Secondo questo &#8220;giudice di pace venuto dal nord&#8221; questa tecnologia violerebbe i principi antitrust. L&#8217;ordine alla <strong>Apple</strong> emesso dal difensore civico norvegese le impone di mettere a disposizione i codici di protezione entro il prossimo ottobre, pena l&#8217;oscuramento del sito <strong>iTunes</strong>.  Analoga azione, promossa dalle associazioni dei consumatori, è stata avviata in California. La <strong>Apple</strong> &#8211; che ha diffuso un comunicato appellandosi alla necessità di dare protezione ad un sistema innovativo qual è quello che combina l&#8217;<strong>iPod</strong> e <strong>iTunes</strong> attraverso <strong>Fairplay</strong> &#8211; sembra punita del suo stesso successo. E&#8217; tale la rivoluzione che ha creato nella musica digitale che la collettività ha già deciso di espropriarle i diritti di proprietà intelletuale che le spettebbero, prima che scada un periodo di escusiva a suo favore, o il suo sistema <strong>Fairplay</strong> non è sufficientemente Fair da potersi considerare una protezione dell&#8217;innovazione, ma solo un ingiustificato controllo del mercato?</p>
