BigChampagne taps in as if it were a regular user and compiles the traffic flows in a database it later sorts The music industry's appetite for data is only growing as online sales begin to replace CDs â€â€?â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: http://www It checks on how often its clients' artists show up in searches or how frequently their songs are downloaded It formed in July 2000, just as the Internet boom was beginning to bust, and now counts Maverick, DreamWorks, Warner Bros This week, Altnet threatened legal action against nine companies, including BigChampagne, that it accused of violating patents on file-identifying technology "It wouldn't be very smart if we weren't looking at what they're doing," Welt said Label executives waited weeks to get feedback based on limited audience sampling â€â€? typically by randomly calling listeners and asking if they recognized a song after hearing a snippet Traditionally, labels had relied for market research largely on commercial radio, MTV and music store sales Rapper Eminem was first in a recent scan, his songs downloaded more than 8 BigChampagne doesn't identify individuals or gather usernames, Garland said The file-sharing companies are also taking notice Hurt by a three-year decline in music sales, the industry has sued the major file-sharing networks, along with individuals who have used them The emergence of free online trading, beginning in the late 1990s with MP3 "When someone plops down 99 cents to buy a single, that shows a higher level of interest than just getting it for free," Welt said Despite their legal blitzkrieg to stop online song-swapping, many music labels are benefiting from â€â€? and paying for â€â€? intelligence on the latest trends in Internet trading "For the first time, we're making decisions based on what consumers are doing and saying as opposed to just looking at radio charts com and the original Napster, suddenly made it technologically feasible to track music consumption in a whole new way Peer-to-peer systems function by sending search queries and file transfers across a network of several computer users Only after several weeks would they begin to get a picture of whether a single was getting heard By using BigChampagne, labels can release a song to radio and, if there are signs demand is brewing on the song-swapping networks, immediately make the single available on online retailers like Apple's iTunes Music Store, Welt said Earlier this year, BigChampagne granted a sales and licensing agreement to Premier Radio Networks, whose Mediabase service tracks radio airplay Sales data from iTunes and other licensed music services can, of course, be in and of themselves excellent indicators of a song's popularity All the major labels have worked with BigChampagne "in one capacity or another," Garland said BigChampagne has certainly done well by file-swapping BigChampagne denies using the Altnet technology or playing any role in helping recording companies identify users for lawsuits And until Soundscan began electronically tracking album sales in the 1990s, the industry relied only on a survey of music retailers to gauge fan interest The bountiful market research is gleaned from behavior for which the music industry otherwise shows no tolerance "The record industry has always been more about vibe and hype," said Jeremy Welt, head of new media for Maverick Records in Los Angeles The data can be sorted by market or geographical region But by analyzing users' numeric Internet addresses, BigChampagne can still pinpoint location and give clients a sense of where an artist is most popular "What we do in effect is act like a superuser who demands access to the network in its entirety," Garland said " One company, Beverly Hills-based BigChampagne, began mining such data from popular peer-to-peer networks in 2000 and has built a thriving business selling it to recording labels The company â€â€? which takes its name from the Peter Tosh song lyric, "You drink your big champagne and laugh" â€â€? taps directly into file-sharing networks like Kazaa's FastTrack It's a rich digital trove these recording executives are mining BigChampagne also has a "TopSwaps" chart that ranks the most shared songs 6 million times in one day "It's the most vast and scaleable sample audience that the world has ever seen," Garland said "Our hope was that we could take the technology revolution that Napster made popular and create tools for the benefit of copyright holders," said Eric Garland, BigChampagne's chief executive BigChampagne data are essentially a tally of what millions of music fans are doing every hour The deal fuses Mediabase's tracking data with BigChampagne's, giving subscribers a way to see whether airplay or radio promotions spur online music downloads or sales, Garland said bigchampagne , Disney and Atlantic Records among its clients By following the buzz online, they can determine where geographically to market specific artists for maximum profitability Music Labels Tap Downloading Networks Nov 17, 10:16 AM EST The recording industry, it seems, doesn't hate absolutely everything about illicit music downloading com Every time someone searches Kazaa for a song, that query is passed along the network The boyish Knight, first noticed last season as the nebbish stage assistant in the Broadway revival of "Noises Off," makes an appealing Brendan They make the most of it By then, it seems forced, a theatrical flourish that has more to do with bringing the curtain down on a note of surprise than it has in explaining what James Scattergood is all about It's fun to watch him put a Sinatra LP on the turntable, pour himself a glass of red wine and pontificate to his inexperienced yet devoted charge The part is a more serious variation on his "Noises Off" role Here, though, Knight adds a stammer and a level of heartbreak that helps the audience overlook the thinness of Howard's plot R Brendan, a shy lad, fancies an assertive female student named Miss Reagan (Tari Signor) Knight 'Scattergood' Explores Issues of Honor Feb 26, 6:43 PM EST Professor James Scattergood may be a specialist in the medieval romances of England and France, but the real subject of his life's work is honor â€â€? and he's not so sure it's still around anymore Murray, one of the most dependable actors in New York, gives a big, blustery yet affectionate performance as the title character Things don't really heat up until the play's final minutes with a dramatic revelation that won't be revealed here "Is honor, like God in Paris cafes, dead?" he asks his students at Dublin's Trinity College during the opening moments of "Scattergood," Anto Howard's fitfully entertaining play that off-Broadway's MCC Theater opened Wednesday Yet the character remains frustratingly enigmatic to the very end He's equally at home with comedy and drama, which this play delivers in unequal measure During these episodes, "Scattergood" feels as if it is stalling for time, not going anywhere and serving primarily as a showcase for its two leading men, Brian Murray and T What should Brendan do â€â€? especially since he is a committed and very celibate disciple of the demanding professor? Give in to liberties with the young lady or, as Scattergood puts it, "put his honor before his heart"? For much of the two acts, mentor and pupil work together to reach some satisfactory answer, devising answers to a series of letters from Brendan's would-be paramour Trying to find an answer to that question is the subject of "Scattergood," and the expedition takes the form of a challenge laid down by the professor to one of his more eccentric students |
