Ringtonovoe extortion.
Promised article translated by John Gruber that is wrong with the sale of ring tones for iPhone in the iTunes Store, and that Apple could do differently, but did not. And someone wrote me that the article “Apple - new Microsoft″ - solid nonsense. This article fits perfectly into the overall canvas poster comparing Apple and Microsoft monopoly behaviour.
Original
Introducing iTunes 7.4 during the recent events at Apple, Steve Jobs, said: “Today we are releasing a new version of iTunes, with the added support of new products, which you will soon hear. And the greatest innovation in iTunes will work with ringtones. And we are going to do so especially in ours. ”
The special way of working with Apple ringtone is: you can only use songs purchased in the iTunes Store, and you must pay 99 cents in addition to the price of most songs; only a handful of songs on the iTunes Store can be “prepared″ as a ringtone, and if you decide to make another ringtone using another piece of the same songs, for which you have already paid twice, you have to pay again. But you can choose a piece of the song, which will be used as a ringtone.
The “special way” looks like an honest only when compared with its ringtone that offer competitors, which, as Jobs during the performance, usually selling them for $ 2.50, and the price - only for ringtone, only a fragment of song, but not the whole song entirely .
This ringtonovoe extortion filed with the point that ring tones - that’s different than songs. Such feed - complete nonsense. You are not Turn songs in ringtones, you use them as ring tones. Even the file format is different. It is just a different context for playing the same song on the same device *.
This is a mistaken notion ringtones as something different from the song - an anachronism, artifact, which has its roots in the days when mobile phones existed in its own ecosystem, totally separated from the computer or the Internet. Then there was no way to transmit songs from the computer to the phone, because the phones do not support USB or Bluetooth. Then, if you want a new ringtone, the only way to get it was using the cellular communication. And because people wanted ringtones, and there was no other way to get them, operators could charge prohibitively high prices for them.
No ringtones - it is only digital audio files, no more no less. (Actually, it’s less, given that they long only 15-30 seconds). At any mobile phone, and not only on iPhone, should be able to nominate any track, which the phone can play, as a ringtone. If you do not have to pay for each device on which you play the song - on the computer, iPod, Apple TV - then you definitely should not pay for every context reproduction of the same songs on the same appliance.
Instead barracks complex and confusing policies ringtones, which Apple announced last week, they were to submit this: Any song that you can play on the iPhone, can be used as a ringtone at no extra cost. Want a new ringtone? Simply buy it on iTunes or otsifruyte with CD.
Yes, it could further complicate the already strained relations with the Apple music label (and with the companies, which are in their conglomerates, for example, NBC), but the cause of such relations is that the directors of these companies - stubborn fools who interest only to maintain the established order of things, and have absolutely no respect for customers. It is difficult to argue with the “geniyami” who invented the “ringly.”
The difference between songs and ring tones - artificial marketing superstructure. This is a misunderstanding, though widespread, all based on laws to protect copyrights, that is, that an honest buyer is obliged to pay for ringtones separately from the “normal” songs for some described by law, reason. This is not so. Counsel for the Protection of copyright Neelay Petel razvenchal is already confusing last week in the article on Engadget. He said that, surprisingly, even the RIAA agrees:
RIAA wants to be able to sell ringtones artists without having to pay them a lot of money for it, and they have received confirmation from the Copyright Office, which says that ringtones are not “derivative result, which means that there is no copyright infringement author songs.
So, if you have the right to reproduce a song, you have the right to use it as a ringtone on your phone. There is no reason to feel even a little bit guilty using tools like MakeiPhoneRingtone or iToner.
NOT TO FACE ALL THAT GLITTERS
Certainly, to some extent, a hostage to fads Apple music labels in the case of the support ring tones in iTunes. After all, iTunes total more than 6 million on the sale of songs, but, so far, only 500 thousand You can create ringtones.
Why not all songs are available as ringtones? It seems that the choice is not Apple, a limitation set for their music labels. Even if we allow at the time that it was wise to collect additional money for the use of the song as a ringtone, the question remains: What is wrong with the music labels, which do not allow Apple to sell any song in iTunes as a ringtone? This is astonishing. Rekordingovaya industry is sliding down because people are buying less and less music each year, and here in iTunes, they voluntarily give up potential sales.
CLIENT: I want you to pay the extra dollar for the song, for which I have already given you a dollar so that I can use it as a ringtone on your iPhone.
MUSIC LEYBL: None.
iTunes - supplement, not shop - has long maintained two different types of music: files received outside the iTunes Store, and files purchased iTunes Store and limited using FairPlay. The difference between them that they can make a user, for example, songs, protected FairPlay, have limitations on the number of devices on which they can reproduce.
Adding support ringtones, now splits all iTunes songs into three groups:
1. Songs not with iTunes Store.
2. Songs from iTunes Store, which can not be done ringtone.
3. Songs from iTunes Store, which can be done ringtones.
Right Apple to sell songs through iTunes is not simply a matter of law to protect copyrights. Assuming that is very similar to the truth that the music labels have put a condition in their contracts with Apple that song, which for a fee can be used as ring tones, it is necessary to argue further, then the differences between Group 2 and 3 Apple does not control.
No Group 1 - the songs in your iTunes collection, which you have not bought in iTunes Store - it is under the control of Apple. Apple could not take your money for the right to use those songs as ringtones, but they could allow you to do this for free, just as you have the capability to reproduce them for free at Mace, iPod, Apple TV or iPhone. They could, but did not.
Since the launch of iTunes Store, Apple has done everything for its customers. iTunes Store was designed so that its clients were pleased. He honestly compete not only with traditional music on CD sales, but the illegal piracy. He could not compete on price with piracy, but it may give 100 points ahead in terms of convenience and excitement of the work. Three billion songs sold - some proof.
A new opportunity to work with ring tones, but - the first time that Apple added opportunity that can be used only with tracks from iTunes Store. Disk transfer to a portable device like the iPod or Apple TV, playing “by air via Airport Express - all the occasion of these opportunities are available for all the songs in your collection, even if you are from songs. Before the advent of ringtones, the only restriction on iTunes Store files were additional restrictions, such as the rule of “5 authorised computers.”
The difference with no restrictions ringtones law, it is that this will make money.
Even if you agree that the “industry ring tones” - this is extortion, the desire to seduce you can argue that it would be foolish for Apple not to participate in this if only because it is a profitable venture. No extortion rarely continues forever. In the short term, yes, of course Apple already receives additional income from the sale of ring tones. But this money is and the reverse side: outrage.
For each song, which you already have on CD, Apple requires you to pay three times for it to use it as a ringtone on your iPhone: CD for the first time, which you have already bought, and then for having to buy unnecessary duplicate songs in iTunes Store, and the third time to generate a ringtone.
Fair and free “simply use the songs that you already have, such as ring tones” would have no direct income, but it could be used as a powerful marketing move. Consumers already know what ringtones, and they know how many mobile operators have to pay for them. Imagine advertising, which says that with the iPhone, a song in iTunes collections could become ringtonom. Want to use the new single hitovyj as ringtone? Simply buy it in the iTunes Store and use anywhere!
Politics in its form, as it exists today, hunting discouraged from experienced users to buy tracks in the iTunes Store. Apple may close “bypass road″ in subsequent updates iTunes, but at the time of release 7.4.1 trick to changing the file extension and the recently discovered trick to changing metadata (which is used in MakeiPhoneRingtone 1.1) allows users informed iPhone do what they can do, , in accordance with common sense and the law on the protection of United States copyright: to use any song, which they own, as a ringtone - but only with the songs, which are not protected by FairPlay **.
Faced with a choice - do we need a buyers or to charge them for what they do not have to pay, Apple chose the latter. The third is not given. And any business, which is built on that preying on the “uneducated″ of customers - is bad business.
* Even using clip songs, clever realization could simply store labels, which would indicate how much of the songs play. But even if the implementation requires creating a copy of the song, you do not have to pay for a copy of this, just as not pay for a copy of the song on the iPod, which was recorded there in synchronization with a computer.
** Tracks iTunes Plus, however, work as ringtones through such gimmicks. I iToner utility as something even allows the use of songs, protected FairPlay as ringtones.
