The digital ad industry is simply not big enough to support the digital music industry. Digital music market is now at $30 billion and rising (including illegal downloads). While digital advertising is only at $20 billion and slowing. To pursue this model is damning for both the retail music industry, and their online distributors. There’s an excellent analysis at Brooding Savage blog. http://www.BroodingSavage.com/journal/2008/2/7/ad-supported-music-1.html These latest attempts at new music distribution via ad supported models (whether Baidu, SpiralFrog or QTrax) are unsustainable from a revenue/cost perspective.

They are effectively wasting away their own income and with a country as big as China this is just ridiculous. The lawcases they have attempted already, and lost most of, have cost them millions and are just laughable. They are making themselves look like fools. the volume and amount of cost spent of these types of cases is effectively costing record companies a lot of their income, then they wonder why their profits are down!

These guys are Lawsuit-trigger-happy, they're gonna endup suing themselves one day. They should start realizing their product is not good enough to buy, but good enough to use it as a media channel to promote other products. effing morrons. Good luck trying to sue chinese webs.

In ten years they might look back and say 'yea we should have made those music sites ourselves.' When will they get it, the only way to win this game is not in court, you cannot sue 100 companies in 100 countries....

No-one gives a damn about the musician, they are the ones who lose out. So... what I want to know is.... if the majors win their case, will they give any of the revenue to the artists signed to them? If so, how will they dish out the loot. Good. No-one gives a damn about the musician, they are the ones who lose out.
