Music industry has targeted about 35,000 people

MINNEAPOLIS - The $1.92 million verdict against a Minnesota woman accused of sharing 24 songs over the Internet could ratchet up the pressure on other defendants to settle with the recording industry — if the big fine can withstand an appeal. “Normally in our American legal system, we say the punishment should fit the crime,” said Ken Port, director of the Intellectual Property Institute at William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul. “Now she’s being ordered to pay, in some ways, an incomprehensible amount of damages.” Under federal law, the recording companies are entitled to $750 to $30,000 per infringement but the law allows the jury to raise that to as much as $150,000 per track if it finds the infringements were willful.

Best Video Game Ever

It's ironic that GTA became a football in the debate over sex and violence in video games, because where it belongs is in the debate over whether video games count as art. No game developers are more radical and more passionate about the storytelling power of their medium than folks at Rockstar North, and GTA IV is the company's most ambitious work ever. It's the story of Niko Bellic, an Eastern European soldier-for-hire fighting his way up the organized crime ladder in an archly satirical version of New Yo— I mean, Liberty City. It's a grade-A shoot-'em-up that doubles as an interactive novel and triples as a sly critique of American consumer culture. For any gamer this is a MUST PLAY GAME.

Market Changes from 2006-2008

After a 2007 in which Nintendo dominated hardware sales and software sales worldwide, many questioned whether that success would be sustainable into 2008. For many industry analysts, 2007 had been a very difficult year to predict because there were three transitions taking place. Sony’s PS2 was in the process of being replaced by Nintendo’s DS as the top machine for total software sales worldwide. Nintendo determined that it could handle supporting two platforms better than three or four in 2005, and this allowed for all the top software from the firm to concentrate on only two platforms over a period of two years. Sony at the same time had the challenge of expanding its resources to support three platforms, and trying to determine which platforms to place the projects on. The major trend in Japan in 2005 of PS2 dominance waning due to the emergence of DS dominance left the 2006 videogame sales muddled. In a year when 60 million videogame platforms were sold, Nintendo managed to juggle its four platforms just well enough to grab over 50% of all videogame hardware units sold. For 2007, many expected that a) the market would grow, and b) that with price cuts Microsoft and Sony would be able to drop Nintendo’s share by attracting more mainstream consumers. The Wii began to explode in 2007, selling over 16 million units and becoming the first console more expensive than PS2 to outsell it in every world market in the same year. Videogame sales did grow tremendously in 2007 though – over 81 million units of videogame hardware sold. DS held firm at 35% of all sales, leading Nintendo’s charge to 55% hardware market share in the year. If Game Cube, Xbox, and Game Boy Advance sales are included as well, Nintendo’s market share jumps up another percent, mainly because GBA sold over 2m units in 2007. Despite Nintendo’s growth in total market share, the change did not really come at the expense of Sony or Microsoft market share, since it was mainly Game Boy Advance, PS2, GC, and Xbox users migrating to the newer machines. In 2008, the expectation was that the videogame market would be up once again, and that as Wii aged and rival machines began peaking, Nintendo’s market share would slip a bit. Instead, it was Sony’s market share which slipped to Nintendo and Microsoft, despite having the most platforms on the market. DS market share did dip from 35% to 32%, but the market grew so much in the year, that its sales were still up from 2007

Standing on our official NintendoLife.com balance board we gave the disc a try, after a cautious entry the disc was graciously accepted by our Wii and to our relief the game loaded and played as normal, phew! We also thought we'd give it a challange by testing out the slot loading drives on our Macbooks, again the d_skin worked as advertised, nice.

It isn’t perhaps the most groundbreaking news story that reveals persistently replacing ruined CDs can be painfully damaging to one’s bank balance. However, less obvious is the damaging impact that a single chip or small scratch to the shiny side of a disc has on the environment. CDs and DVDs are made from materials including polycarbonate plastic, petroleum-based lacquer and paints, aluminum and other metals. These materials release chemicals that contribute to environmental and health problems as well as global warming, both when they are produced and when they are destroyed. The chemical used in CD cases, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), is especially damaging to the environment. It often contains a variety of additives, including lead, making it is the least recyclable, and least recycled, of the major plastics. The Environment Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that less than one percent of post-consumer PVC is recovered or reprocessed. That means the remaining 99% either ends up in landfills or is incinerated, a process that releases damaging dioxins into the air. Attaching d-skin disc protectors to your CDs, DVDs, games and data immediately eliminates the wasteful and costly need to replace ruined discs. Additional damage is then cut further through the removal of having to back-up data onto blank discs. And if that wasn’t enough the skins themselves are packaged in recycled metal containers specifically designed to be used again as CD carriers. Thus negating the need for harmful post-consumer PVC cases. There is an ever-increasing awareness by individuals and companies of the need to reduce polluting practices. Protecting your discs with d-skin should be seen as a very small but potentially significant step in the right direction.

As seen on TV, d_skins are now available from QVC and soon will be available across the UK. For more information on where to buy d_skins, please visit the Where to Buy section of the website or e-mail Richard at info@d-skin.com.

At last, an answer to my prayers - a condom for CDs! If I had a pound for every CD I've scratched over the years I'd be as rich as P Diddy. The biggest complement I can pay d-skin is that, since I started using them a few months ago, I've not chucked away a single CD and my small daughter hasn’t scratched any of her dvds. Cheers, Jules

d_skin Provides a Cure for Lendaphobia, and Eliminates The Fear of Lending Video Games, DVD and Music Discs to Friends & Family a New Survey Reveals three out of four Americans won’t lend their CDs, DVDs and video game discs to anyone – not even family and friends – because they believe the risk of losing digital content is too great, according to a survey conducted by market research firm Synovate. The explosion of digital material found on CDs and DVDs has led to a growing phenomenon called Lendaphobia, said Marc Saltzman, syndicated technology columnist and author of 13 books, including the DVD Confidential series. “And as new, more expensive games and new movie formats like blue ray rise in popularity, so is the investment consumers are willing to make to protect their media. Almost everyone has experienced the frustration of trying to play a disc that’s been permanently damaged, and a solution as simple and inexpensive as d_skin can cure all that. It is estimated that each year billions of CDs, DVDs and games are damaged and thrown away due to unrepairable scratches, costing consumers billions of dollars. Any parent of small children knows how easily a disc can be damaged, says Saltzman, who is the father of three young children himself. By using d_skin, anyone can protect cherished memories, a favorite movie or important information using this revolution in disc protection.
