Proposed Broadcast Performance Royalty Back in the News - Where is It Going?
In one more indication that the Broadcast Performance Royalty (or " performance tax " as opponents of the legislation call it) is not dead yet is an article in yesterday's New York Times reviewing the issues at stake in the proceeding. What was perhaps most interesting about that article was the fact that it appeared only one page away from an article about Internet Radio service Pandora , and a discussion of how that hugely popular service was almost driven out of business by music royalties set by the Copyright Royalty Board in their 2007 royalty decision.

  • New York Publishing Headquarters Dazzle
    Last week as I rushed from meeting to meeting in New York City, I kept entering the magnificent portals of architecturally significant headquarters of publishing giants with fabulously designed commissaries full of anxious employees trying to hang on to their gigs. How many jobs at Hearst, Conde Nast and The New York Times could have been saved with the billions spend on changing the Manhattan skyline? Staffers at Barry Diller's stunning IAC Building at 18th and 10th, designed by Frank Gehry, are worried about the economy like everyone else: but relative to print publishing, the online future looks bright.

  • Blog Watch: NYT Turns Carpetbagger into Year-Round Movie Blog
    The New York Times has finally figured out that it's dumb to shut down their movie blog, The Carpetbagger, which has been pegged to media columnist David Carr writing in the guise of amateur Oscar-watcher The Bagger. While Carpetbagger began as a blog hosted by David Carr – a New York Times reporter and media columnist who assumed the Bagger persona during awards season – the year-round Bagger will be fed by the entire entertainment and media corps of The Times, particularly the paper’s chief Hollywood correspondents, Michael Cieply and Brooks Barnes. In past years, when Carr quit the seasonal gig, the blog went dark, which I always thought was a crime.
