POPSWhy Would Warren Buffett Stoop So Low?
The market still works! With all due respect to Buffett, nobody has yet made a compelling case to me that there is, in fact, a crisis that extends much beyond overleveraged banks with bad business practices. There's a simple fact lost among all of this fearmongering and jawboning about how bad things could get if the government doesn't throw $700 billion (or more) at failing financial institutions. The stock and vulture-capital markets are still generally working, in spite of the cries from politicians and failing speculators to the contrary. The market also has a really good mechanism to help struggling financial companies get money. It's called "price," and it's still functioning. You can see it in action by looking at the one-year CD rates that various banks are offering to entice people to deposit money with them. When the people lobbying the hardest for a bailout are those who stand to benefit from it, you have to ask whether their motives are altruistic or self-serving.

POPSCD Sales Still A Brisk Business For Some
From Idolator, we have short but sweet post about a small indie record store still succeeding in Green Bay, WI. I have heard other reports of indie record stores still doing well despite the wider turn in the business as a whole. As the indie stores find their way forward it shouldn't surprise anyone that recorded music is still a tactile experience for many fans. Downloads of the legal or illegal variety are great for listening to new music or out of print classics you can't find anymore, but for real fans they want to hold the CD in their hands, read the liner notes and look at the photos in the inner sleeve. Lesson learned: never forget music is an experiential business. Fans still want to experience a connection with their favorite artists. This is why the live music business is still so vital and healthy, that experience at the show and the ticket stub and tshirt to go with it can never be downloaded, neither can the CD case with liner notes.

POPSAnother Wacky Court Ruling There has been no shortage of wacky court rulings in recent years regarding what is or isn't copyright infringement, but this latest case profiled in Techdirt takes the cake. I clipmarked the first paragraph from the article below but you have got to read the whole piece to let the real outrage burn into your head. This ruling puts into question whether an entire industry segment, the second hand CD/DVD market, is engaging in wholesale copyright fraud.

POPSStarbucks To Sell Saturday Night Live DVD Notwithstanding the protracted downturn in Starbucks' stock price, none of us needs any reminder of the power of the premium coffee giant's brand name. A good case in point -- the company's embrace of the declining CD and DVD formats through various partnerships, including its widely reported record deal with Paul McCartney and now an exclusive pact with NBC to sell a new Saturday Night Live DVD. - Louis Hau
