"We're showing our wares," Gutowski said The musicians and industry representatives have come for four days of industry panels, discussions and trade shows To promote the label and its bands, Bloodshot hosts a club showcase of its bands and throws a free afternoon party at a local art gallery " South by Southwest's staying power is notable considering its association with the recording industry, which has experienced a drop in CD sales as shrinking major labels wrestle with how to cope in the personal-computer world of downloadable music "In a way, when times are tough, I think we become more attractive as a cost-effective way to promote artists," he said "It would be nice to get some interest, but it's going to be good for us whatever happens," said Emily Summers, vocalist for Todd, a London rock band Participation in the music conference has rebounded after it experienced a 15 percent drop in the aftermath of Sept In 1992 the conference launched film and interactive festivals, which are also taking place this week "It's possible to see two or three bands in an hour," Swenson said Swenson said this year is not the first time the conference has weathered tough economic times, tightening travel budgets and industry layoffs " To balance out the shop talk, the festival features four intense nights of live music with 1,000 acts on 53 stages Music fans drained 15 kegs at last year's party, Gutowski said The conference panels target different elements of the music business with titles like "Latin Music and the Media," "Which Publishing Deal to Sign and When" and "How Retail Finds and Serves Customers South by Southwest originated in 1987 as an offshoot of an annual Austin music awards show 11, Swenson said Even for a place that calls itself the "Live Music Capitol of the World," the planes, buses and vans arriving full of shaggy-haired men and tattooed women carrying guitars and drums adds a new dimension to the city In addition to a heavy focus on college-rock and Americana bands from across the United States and Canada, bands representing Asia, Europe and South America have made the pilgrimage to the festival in hopes of catching the ears of industry representatives While some bands over the years have complained about the brevity of their 40 minutes of allotted playing time, the proximity of the clubs and the short sets create an almost-unbelievable environment for lovers of live music This year, more bands than ever before â€â€? 6,000 â€â€? applied for showcases Execs, Bands Head to South by Southwest Mar 12, 3:14 PM EST Nearly 7,000 music industry representatives and more than 1,000 bands are descending on Austin this week for the 17th annual South by Southwest Music Conference and Festival Lee Gutowski, publicist for the independent Chicago label Bloodshot Records, said the conference is the perfect showcase for the type of Americana bands that her label records, including Austin singer-songwriter Alejandro Escovedo and Chicago alternative-country act the Waco Brothers " The convention even includes a poster show, called "Flatstock," that attracts 60 poster artists from around the world " South by Southwest benefits from its pertinence to a variety of music industry players, from major media corporations to small independent labels, record shops, radio stations, publishers and the bands themselves "But I think the most fun people have is when they wander and hear whatever crosses their path "It's more of a networking thing: Here we are, stop by and have a beer and let's get to know each other "I've always thought of it as a big tribal meeting of people in the business of music and working with artists," said Roland Swenson, the conference's managing director We're keeping our profile out there "I also think when business is bad, people want to get together and talk, share new ideas and commiserate â€â€? and look for new acts Among other things, campuses are distributing brochures, running ads in student newspapers and devoting school Web pages to information on copyright infringement Ohio State University, the University of Virginia and the University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point, among others, also have become more aggressive in warning students about downloading music 6 billion in 1999 to $12 Two of the universities â€â€? Boston College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology â€â€? argued successfully in court that the subpoenas were improperly filed But he hasn't received any other complaints since he changed his computer settings to block others from downloading music from his hard drive "We're doing everything we can think of to make sure students can understand this," said Shirley Payne, director for security coordination and policy "We're feeling a great deal of pressure as a result of what the entertainment industry is doing, and we're stepping up a lot of activities to address it," said Jim Davis, associate vice chancellor for information technology at the University of California, Los Angeles " Several of the universities are responding to a recording industry campaign to control the rampant copying of files over peer-to-peer networks "There are a lot of legitimate reasons for file-sharing," said Bob Sanders, a UC Berkeley spokesman Sharing of music files is a crucial issue for the industry That amount would allow students to download four movies and 200 song files without going over the limit The number of copyright violation notices received by the University of Virginia increased sharply during the spring term, so university officials designed a new Web site over the summer and are running ads in the student paper to boost awareness Despite such challenges, RIAA President Carey Sherman said he was gratified by the attention copyright violations are getting on campuses The RIAA has been specifically targeting people who make their digital song collections available for sharing Students have a a five gigabyte weekly limit on uploading or downloading If they exceed it twice, they can lose their Internet access Last year, UCLA received dozens of notices every month from record companies and movie studios complaining about copyright violations Colleges Move to Stop File-Swapping Sep 2, 6:39 AM EST Students arriving for fall classes at colleges across the country are facing technological hurdles and stern warnings aimed at ending swapping of music and movie files over high-speed campus Internet connections "When I first got here, there was no real warning given to students," said junior Errol Wilson, 20, an international relations and sociology major The school has been emphasizing the legal perils of file-sharing during student orientation this summer, Davis said "Sometimes students don't realize when you download something, you're also making it available for upload "There are a lot of (music files) out there that are not copyrighted Users can block access to their own files without losing the ability to download from others " Unless users change settings, some file-sharing software can make computers relay data among those signed onto the network " Wilson, who has downloaded about 200 songs, said he received a warning from the university about his file-sharing when he was a freshman The industry has begun to embrace pay music download services, particularly the successful Apple iTunes for Macintosh computer users It says the practice is largely responsible for a 25 percent drop in CD sales since 1999 They don't understand the process," said Colleen Andrews, student computing services manager for the University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point It's estimated that people download more than 2 The Recording Industry Association of America, a trade group representing the five major recording companies, regards file-sharing as theft and is expected to file several hundred copyright infringement lawsuits by mid-September But the victory didn't preclude the RIAA from obtaining a subpoena from a Massachusetts court Users typically search for songs or movie files then download them directly from another file-sharer's computer "Since then, it seems like they've definitely beefed up The message will be reinforced through e-mails to students and faculty when classes begin 6 billion copyright files every month on file-sharing networks The university is also limiting the amount of data students can send or receive over the Internet "The majority of (students) don't realize that what they're doing could get them into legal trouble So far, at least 10 universities, including UCLA, have been served with subpoenas demanding they help the recording industry identify possible targets of such lawsuits, according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an advocacy group for online civil liberties Revenue from album sales has declined from $14 At the University of California, Berkeley, which received one subpoena request in August, students living in campus housing must undergo orientation on copyright infringement before getting a university Internet account "There's a world of difference this year than just a year ago in terms of the seriousness that universities are taking this issue," he said Similar tactics are being used at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles We wanted to give students room to use the Internet for what it was meant for, but we do want to emphasize to them that there are illegal uses Some are even using software to choke the amount of data that can flow in or out of a computer when students use Kazaa and other file-sharing programs 6 billion in 2002, according to the RIAA But a successful Windows-based service for the vast majority of home computer users has not yet emerged |
