I’m assuming they have to say this from a legal perspective. In reality what they are saying is “we don’t know how much the legal fees will come to, could be less, could be more. However, once we have proper accounting, if there is money le

“Elevates the awfulness to a whole other level” is not incompatible with also relishing the video! (I was going to say “enjoying the video” but that’s not quite accurate, relishing seems a better way to capture the feeling. There’s probably

I guess the first question is “what do you really mean by improve your writing?” You might mean “make it easier to read” or you might mean “make it better for capturing and recording my ideas for future reference” but I suspect given you’ve

The clunky robogoat is bad enough. The terrible frantic clanging music elevates the awfulness to a whole other level.

I think you've misunderstood what I'm saying. I did not say that Atmos mixes are "being approved by artists", I said that "the artist (or label) has to supply an atmos mix", and that was in response to your com

That’s just not true I’m afraid. I have domain specific knowledge in this area and recently talked to 20+ Atmos engineers for a piece of research I was commissioned to carry out. Atmos mixes are not “just thrown together” and now, more ofte

This is not correct. Atmos doesn’t just happen. The artist (or label) has to supply an atmos mix. There are some labels which are supplying “upmixed” Atmos audio - but this is now being rejected by Apple. So generally speaking if you hear a

Of course, the Turkey test itself now fails the Turkey test as Turkey has been updated to Türkiye.

Sure, but if you put a metal fan alongside a punk and a hip hop fan you’d be able to tell the difference, right?

The visible lining is one thing, but when people talk about lining in suits it can also mean an inner structure made of stiffer material like canvas to help give the suit form and structure. So in a more traditional suit there is the outer

I think there are a couple of important things missing from this article. One is that until relatively recently clothing served a very different function to that of today. In Europe, in our grandparents’ or even parents’ childhoods - as lat

A lot of the profit has come via a price increase and radical downsizing plus big costs cuts. So whether it can be sustained long term will be interesting.

It’s based on the potential for significant growth in streaming, and price increases. The major labels and Spotify agree that the price should be increased regularly - after no uplift for a decade - and as more countries begin to adopt stre

I personally think there's probably enough of an overlap with enough customers that it would make sense to offer it as Apple One Premier+ rather than a stand alone thing. I know a lot of people who I suspect would say "OK, another

They won’t introduce this subscription bundle. What they will do is introduce Apple One Premier+ : includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Fitness+ […] and all your creator tools including Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator, Photomator, Logic Pro […]

No, I meant that “even with all the infringement, it’s still really bad”.

1. The article is from 2014. 2. The band sold a total of $4k in tickets. If tickets were $10 then that’s 400 tickets. So roughly 10 people per show. 3. They apparently own their own van. 4. They slept on people’s floors and couches. 5. They

I was deliberately being quite broad brush otherwise you have to go down too many rabbit holes. But I agree absolutely with what you are saying. Some of these costs are examples form actual touring budgets and others are slightly hand-wavy.

Thank you for posting this. I’m trying to get my head around how to build a fairly complex ledger system (for managing the cost schedules in large apartment buildings where everyone might pay a different proportion and groups of apartments

This is a myth unfortunately. Unless you are a really big name artist - or a mod-level or above artist doing a show in your home town - the economics of live and touring for most musicians mean they are more likely to lose money than make m

You're very welcome. There's a lot of misunderstanding about how copyright works, and unless it's something you work with regularly it's basically just a load of abstract handwaving!

The primary risk is not for the provider of the API, not the consumer. There may be some risk for the consumer on the copyright side but not necessarily, but there may also be a contractual risk (see below). In US law, there are fair use ex

By monetising the assets via a paid API you are infringing intellectual property rights and could be sued. If either you or the owner of the copyright protected assets is based in the US you could be liable for statutory damages. Just beca
