El DRM de iTunes se considera ilegal en Noruega

Very interesting post Antonio Ortiz in error500.net about the movement of the Norwegian authorities and the DRM (digital rights control), comes from english digital rights management.

Bjorn Erik Thonde, Consumer Advocate, has stated that Apple is going to have to “or change your business practices in Norway or pay taxes”. I also take this opportunity to inform everyone that “well paid lawyers” from Apple have already contacted him and have begun to call him frequently to direct a solution..

What the news is saying is that if you buy songs on iTunes and want to transfer them to another digital device for playback, you cannot. Clarify that this does not mean that DRM will be eliminated in Norway, currently solo affects Apple.

I'm surprised people buy with DRM. Where is the right of the consumer to pay for a product and do with it whatever they want?, Play it as many times as you want or take it here and there?

I am not going to expand on the topic since Antonio explains it very well and I prefer that you go directly to his entry that, also, Links to other entries also of interest and that are linked to the topic.

When the irrational enter my life….the hare jumps.

Quieres saber que me irrita? entonces sigue el linK.

A través de un link que alguien me envia en referencia a un post de itsaso.es que hace referencia a Alberto Surio, me encuentro con esto.

Daddy – Miguel Bose and duets cascade

Maybe Miguel Bosé is one of those artists you either love it or hate it. Surely I will be in one of these groups and maybe you're in the other but both sure we agree (when you see the list) to say that this is a project bestial, powerful, and that only a few of those considered great artists can afford. 30 issues with 30 collaborations. 30 Duets for their 30 year career.

There is talk of 6 March as date of departure but this is not safe as yet not known or the name that will work.

The topics began recording in 2006 in places as diverse as Miami, Madrid or New York with several producers: Andrés Levin , Carlos Jean, Nicolas Sorin, y Sandy McIelland.

Just'm writing this when I read that due to the recent and final mastering of the new album, that has been made in studies Nautilus Milan, the departure of the new album with which celebrates Miguel 30 year career, is delayed by 20 March 2007.

Real Life – Joan as police woman

I didn't have many musical references about this girl.. His name had been heard in some collaborations such as the one he did with Nick Cave or Sheryl Crow..

After such a peculiar name “Joan as police woman” we find Joan Water about whom I have searched on the internet and found interesting information. Searching a little more I found the root of that name and it is none other than the title of a series performed in the 70 by Angie Dickinson, in which he gave life to a very hard and very cool american police.
Its beginnings date back to a band called The Dambuilders, to continue in Those Bastards Souls (featuring David Shouse – The Grithers y con Steven Drozd – Flaming Lips -). Other bands will follow such as Black Beetle where he will have Michael Tighe and Parker Kindred as bandmates., both former colleagues of Jeff Buckley.

The time has come to collaborate with renowned people: Scissor Sisters, Nick Cave, Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode), Sheryl Crow, Lou Reed y Sparklehorse. Also in countless bands like Shudder To Think, Sex Mob o su proyecto Mind Science of The Mind, …

How to Talk

Si volviera a nacer, si empezara de nuevo,
Volvería a buscarte en mi nave del tiempo.
It is destiny that takes us and guides us,
It separates us and unites us through life.

We said goodbye and the years passed,
We met again one Saturday night,
another country, another city, other life,
But the same feline look.
Sometimes it would kill you, and others instead I want to eat you,
Seawater eyes.

Talking, if every part of my mind is yours
And if I can't find the exact word, how to speak.
How to tell you that you have won me little by little
You who arrived by chance, how to speak.

Like a firebird that dies in your hands,
A piece of melted ice on the lips,
The radio keeps playing, the war is over,
But the bonfires have not gone out yet.

Talking, if every part of my mind is yours,
And if I can't find the exact word, how to speak.
How to tell you that you have won me little by little,
You who arrived by chance, how to speak.

Sometimes I would kill you and other times I want to eat you,
You are taking my life, how to speak…

It seems that we are going to have to wait a little longer to be able to listen to the first solo work of the former Elenfantes vocalist, Shuarma.

The album that was scheduled to be released in February is delayed until April if there are no new changes and perhaps it will finally include a DVD of how the recording of the album was and some surprise that until now has not been revealed.….

El ministro Joan Clos y el “nuevo” plan tarifario.

El nuevo ministro de industria, Comercio y Turismo, Joan Clos, announced several weeks ago that his department hopes to make progress in the study of the new tariff framework.

Well then, knowing this man from his career in the Barcelona city council and still living the management that he has carried out, there are reasons to tremble. All of us who live in Barcelona know, by “experience in our meats”, that always, always, It is the end user who ends up paying the price..

Clos recalled that regulated electricity rates will disappear in 2011, although there will be a shelter rate for the most vulnerable sectors.

'We will ensure that rates have a better recognition of costs', Clos explained after appearing at the Industry Commission, Congress Tourism and Commerce.

The minister pointed out that the evolution of the costs of the electricity sector is 'increasingly linked’ at the price of crude oil, since most of the new plants, those of combined cycle, They use natural gas to generate electricity.

'It is evidence that we have to keep in mind. Let's see how we include it in the rate., Indian.

The goal, according to Clos, is to define 'a framework that is as stable as possible that favors the generation of a true market that allows competitiveness and good service'.

'I hope that in the coming weeks we can give unequivocal signs of progress in this regard. It is an important element and we are already working hard., added.

Clos specified that the new tariff framework 'will neither favor nor disfavor mergers'.

Weeks later Clos inaugurated the III Euro-Mediterranean Energy Forum, where he confirmed that “electricity prices have so far been “artificially low” and emphasized that “we cannot continue subsidizing” electricity rates”.

Today 22 January Joan Clos has confirmed that he plans to make quarterly price reviews and update it according to the price of a barrel of crude oil.

I close this entry with this note: last summer, Brent, reference crude oil in Europe, reached the 78 dollars per barrel, in front of the 53 dollars it costs today.

We will see the evolution of the topic and the impact that this will have….

Cinema sea – Carlos Nuñez

One month left to Carlos Nuñez present this Sea Cimena. It's an album in which Carlos Nunez immersed in the music of film soundtracks recreating real or imagined we could dream for a script or landscapes. Do not forget that his international career was launched following his participation with The Chieftains music in the film Treasure Island when he was 18 years old, although it started much earlier.

Kid, at the foot of the old family home on the edge of the Ria de Vigo, Carlos Nunez attended every summer to the cinema outdoor beach Deilán, by the sea. While recording in the same house for the soundtrack of The Sea Inside, remembered that music theater, curiosity did some demos and listened Alejandro Amenábar, who encouraged him to continue. The result is Cinema do mar.

I have to explain that in France, in 2005, published Cinema sea. It has taken almost two years to make his presentation worldwide? they do not know…but in May 2005 Japan also came in a special edition. Sometimes I do not understand the strategies of record companies. This edition published and contains 12 issues and understand that now adds 9 issues and I guess that's why Cinema do Mar will be inside the new section.

With the participation of guest artists The Chieftains, Dulce Pontes, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Altan, Solas the Juan Manuel Cañizares, Cinema do Mar is a musical journey through film, an adventure traveling through different worlds. Classics such as the Concerto de Aranjuez, Ravel's Bolero or Cello Suite No. 1 by Bach are intertwined with music from films like The Sea Inside, The Godfather or The mission in one of the most open and surprising album of Galician musician who summarizes years of experience, collaborations and work.

Nothing in my way – Keane

Hoy quiero compartir esta canción de Keane titulada Nothing in my way. Keane es de los pocos grupos (de estos que hoy día arrasan) a los que he hecho un hueco y les he dejado pasar.

El tema pertecene a su último trabajo Under the iron sea donde pueden encontrar temas tan cañeros como It is any wonder.

[youtube]SH6BQAd1GVQ[/youtube]

Y ya que hablamos de Keane me gustaria dejar este otro video y compartir (y también decidar) este tema llamado This is the last time para que podaís conocer otros estilos musicales y otras bandas.

El tema esta extraido del que yo considero el mejor trabajo de Keane, Hopes and fears.

Este tema tiene mucho feeling y es de esos que no te cansas de escuchar. La forma de transmitir de su cantante tiene mucho a ver. Comercial? y que!!! in front of a great song to forget the dreaded label.

So I let him. I forgot. Dedicated to Carles.
