Lejligheden er glimrende placeret. Men gode senge skødesløst udstyret.
Desværre er det meget beskidt, da vi ankom. Om tog sofaer er fra snavs, fugleklatter på møbler, insekt invasion.
Wohnung ist super gelegen. Gute Betten aber lieblos eingerichtet.
Leider sehr schmutzig bei unserer Ankunft. Ueberzüge über Sofas stehen vor Schmutz, Vogeldreck auf Möbeln, Insekteninvasion.
Meget flot lejlighed, godt placeret, med en fantastisk balkon ud mod stranden og havet.
Lejligheden er meget godt møbleret.
Very nice apartment, well located, with an amazing balcony facing the beach and the ocean.
The apartment is very well furnished.
Som beskrevet er det en meget lille lejlighed, men placering og prisen var stor! Hvis du planlægger at bruge en masse af dine dage i lejligheden derefter finde en større. Wifi og TV var god. Køkkenet består af vask, 2 brændere, køleskab, bord stole, mikroovn. Jeg rapporterede, at brødrister ikke virkede. Lille badeværelse. Anbefales til 2-4 personer. 6 sovepladser men sovesofa var ikke meget komfortable. Jeg ville bo der igen.
As described it is a very small apartment but location and price was great!! If you plan on spending a lot of your days in the apartment then find a bigger one. Wifi and TV were good. Kitchen consists of sink, 2 burners, fridge, table chairs, microwave. I reported that toaster did not work. Small bathroom. Recommended for 2-4 persons. Sleeps 6 but sofa bed was not very comfortable. I would stay there again.
Vært heiderberg var en god vært meget hjælpsomme, de hjalp os med masser af information, men én mener Lejligheden er meget grundlæggende / beskidt og der bør lade kunden vide,
Host heiderberg was a good host very helpful,they helped us with lot of information,but one think apartment is very basic/dirty and that should let the customer know,
Vi fundet placeringen meget god lejlighed. Dog manglede en smule opmærksomhed i realacionamento henseende. For eksempel blev to puder manglede, og vi havde det svar, der ville levere på lørdag formiddag, men blev ikke leveret eller berettiget. En manglende opmærksomhed til gæsten i vores forståelse. I mere hospedegem var meget god.
Achamos a localização do apartamento muito boa. Contudo faltou um pouco de atenção no quesito realacionamento. Por exemplo, estava faltando dois travesseiros e tivemos a resposta de que entregariam no sábado pela manhã, contudo não foi entregue e nem justificado. Uma falta de atenção com o hóspede no nosso entendimento. No mais a hospedegem foi muito boa.
I juli 2012 lejede jeg en af deres lejligheder gennem Heidelberg. Velorganiseret, fremragende service og ditto lejlighed. Et must for Rio de Janeiro-goer ....
In juli 2012 heb ik via Heidelberg 1 van hun appartementen gehuurd. Prima geregeld, prima service en dito appartement. Een aanrader voor de Rio de Janeiro ganger....
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Perfect place!
Everything organized super professional. Nice and very helpful stuff + perfect location - just 3 mins from Copacabana, 2 supermarkets just around the corner. Restaurant just next to the entrance. Recommended to anyone.
the security guy was not very friendly but that the only minus I can think about and nothing too serious.
We have stayed there 4 boys (friend trip).
Too small for two people! Too noisy!
Very noisy - the situation is good.

We investigate the use of statistical shape measures for segmented image regions to construct taxonomies of visual similarity. It is demonstrated that without the use of a priori knowledge, cluster analysis can be used to impose structure on heterogeneous image data sets. We develop visual taxonomies to accomplish moderate classification tasks, and provide a framework for more powerful, open-ended analysis of large data sets. The power of this method is demonstrated using a visual taxonomy of textual data, which is shown to be efficient in an MDL context Cook, Anthony; Gibbens, M.J., (2006) 'Constructing Visual Taxonomies by Shape', 18th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR'06) Volume 2, pp. 732 - 735 RAE2008 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z Inelastic neutron scattering on sodium aluminosilicate melts: sodium diffusion and intermediate range order Kargl, Florian Meyer, A. http://hdl.handle.net/2160/33667 2016-03-24T14:23:18Z 2004-11-15T00:00:00Z Inelastic neutron scattering on sodium aluminosilicate melts: sodium diffusion and intermediate range order Kargl, Florian; Meyer, A. The interplay of structure and mass transport in sodium aluminosilicate melts at temperatures up to 1600 K has been investigated with inelastic neutron scattering. We compare results of ion dynamics and elastic structure of ternary 3Na2O·Al2O3·12SiO2, 3Na2O·Al2O3·8SiO2, Na2O·Al2O3·6SiO2 and Na2O·Al2O3·4SiO2 with recent results of binary Na2O·3SiO2 and Na2O·2SiO2. Addition of alumina to the binary silicates leads to a decrease in sodium mobility. The prepeak in the elastic structure factor which appears in binary alkali silicates at 0.9 Å−1 and which is interpreted to reflect a network of Na diffusion channels decreases in intensity with increasing alumina content. We find no indication for a prepeak in the Na2O/Al2O3=1 samples. The addition of alumina is apparently disrupting the channel structure found in sodium silicates.

Caesar Campbell comes clean
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- April 15, 2009
LEGENDARY Bandido Caesar Campbell rose from his sick bed on Saturday and felt even sicker.
For the first time in 26 years, Campbell revealed the genesis of the war that climaxed in the Milperra Massacre began not over a dispute between drugs or turf but because Comanchero president Jock Ross was sleeping with another member's wife, causing them to break away and form the Bandidos.
Milperra: The spark that started the violence
But in the ambiguity of language, Campbell wanted it made clear that when he kindly gave an American Bandido "a hiding'' before sending him back on the plane - after they insisted on replacing the club's patch, prior to the Milperra - he gave him a verbal hiding, not a physical hiding.
It means all the difference, to Caesar, the club's original member who maintains he would never strike another Bandidos member.
Campbell is still carrying as many as 15 bullet and shotgun pellets around in his body, including many from that day.
After being shot six times at Milperra, including in the chest and in the head, he was bundled in the back of a car and dropped off at Bankstown Hospital - his ferriers then returning home to watch the end of the brawl on television.
After being in intensive care for six weeks, he checked himself out and returned home.
By then four shotgun pellets had worked their way from the front of his body to form large lumps in the back, making it impossible for him to lie or even sit down.
His wife Donna, a registered nurse, cut the pellets from his back with a razor blade and buck knife.
"I thought they were just under the skin and would pop right out but they were surrounded by gristle and other stuff and I had to go about two inches down to get to them,'' she said.
Campbell is recovering from a recent hospital stay and remains happily retired from Sydney's bikie wars.

On Street Parking Information
Re-metering at a Paystation
Re-metering is not permitted Under the Parking Meter By-Law. If the vehicle has been parked in a metered space for more than the maximum time for which a fee may be paid for parking a vehicle in that metered space, the vehicle can be ticketed for meter overtime parking. To avoid receiving a ticket, be sure to move your vehicle through an intersection before parking and purchasing more time.
Paystation Locations
The Winnipeg Parking Authority provides paid on-street parking in the downtown and Exchange District areas of Winnipeg.
The majority of paystations in these areas allow for 2 hours of parking at a cost of $1 per hour in low demand areas (paystations denoted with red 2 hour stickers).
As part of a process of managing turn over at on-street parking spaces, there are higher rates of $2 per hour in parts of Downtown and The Exchange. The high demand areas (paystations denoted with bright green 2 hour stickers) are denoted in the map below.
Paid on-street parking is also available around the Health Sciences Centre and St. Boniface Hospital areas (paystations denoted with blue 4 hour stickers). Hospital area paystations allow for 4 hours of parking at a cost of $2 per hour.
Solar Powered Paystations Only
The Winnipeg Parking Authority operates solar powered parking paystations only. The WPA does not operate any other type of parking control device for on-street parking. WPA paystations are identified by the WPA logo on the sides of the portion of the paystation that holds the solar panel.
Other On-Street Parking
A number of other agencies operate parking meters to regulate paid on-street parking on sections of roadway which they control. These meters are not regulated by the Winnipeg Parking Authority. These include:
- The Province of Manitoba (Memorial between Broadway and York, $1/hr)
- Forks-North Portage ($1/hr at Webb Place and $2/hr at the Forks)
- St. Boniface Hospital ($3/hr)
- Health Sciences Centre ($3/hr)
- Grace Hospital ($3/hr)
- Concordia Hospital ($3/hr)

Can some one please tell me in step by step how to fix this redirect so I can get into my web site.
Please Please.
Can some one please tell me in step by step how to fix this redirect so I can get into my web site.
Please Please.
FTP to your website and first change the permissions of your root .htaccess to 644 file permissions and see if that is the problem. If you still cannot login to your website then delete the root .htaccess file in your website root folder.
Some hosts do not allow you to lock your root .htaccess file with 404 file permissions, but do allow 444 file permissions for the root .htaccess file. Other hosts require that you only use 644 file permissions for the root .htaccess file.
Other very common problems that will cause this:
Also make sure you are clicking the AutoMagic buttons before activating BulletProof Modes.
BPS setup steps:
1. Click the AutoMagic buttons
2. Activate All BulletProof Modes.
3. Setup complete.
I have been on to my web site host and they said that my file is set to root .htaccess to 644 file permissions.
I'm not happy as I put Bullet Proof on my web site to protect it.
This is going to cost me a lot of money to get someone to fix it if they can.
Nope this is really simple to fix and should take about 5 minutes. Delete your root .htaccess file and delete the wp-admin .htaccess file. Log back into your website. Delete the BPS plugin. Go to WordPress Settings >>> Permalinks and resave your permalinks. Simple, easy and fast.
Also if after you delete the BPS .htaccess files and you still cannot login then you will need to contact your Host and ask them to allow/whitelist your IP address. I have seen Hosts all over the World blocking WordPress login pages (and other php apps login pages, Joomla, etc etc etc) by IP address to help with the ongoing Brute Force Login attacks that have been going on now for 8 months.

Ben Ross finally cleared to play again
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- August 20, 2010
SOUTH Sydney have extra motivation to keep their finals dream alive at Penrith tonight: victory will also give courageous Rabbitohs prop Ben Ross a shot at making a fairytale comeback this season.
The Daily Telegraph has learnt that scans taken yesterday on Ross's broken neck - which has sidelined him since round one last season - have finally cleared the 30-year-old to return from his 18-month stint in rehab.
Ross was due to receive a definitive call on his career at St Vincent's Hospital yesterday but his specialist, Dr Richard Parkinson, was called into emergency surgery.
The former Maroons bookend is now scheduled to meet Parkinson tomorrow morning, but a source close to Ross said the doctor had been in touch late last night with "positive news".
"Ben was really frustrated after not being able to meet with the doc yesterday, but he did get a voicemail last night," the source said.
"The doc basically said it was positive news, which is great. Everyone was hanging on this scan, and Ben just wanted to know whether or not he could play again. I don't think he was prepared to go through another off-season without knowing."
Yesterday's scan was the 10th test Ross has undergone since joining the Rabbitohs from Cronulla last November.
All previous scans have shown Ross's neck had not fused satisfactorily enough to permit him to play rugby league again.

Dortmund's European adventure ended at the group stage last season when four points left them rooted to the bottom of the standings, despite comfortably winning the German league and cup double.
With Wednesday's victory over Real, the 1997 Champions League winners moved top of Group D ahead of Real, Manchester City and Ajax Amsterdam.
More importantly, however, they silenced critics who said they were only able to shine in domestic soccer because their attacking style of play would always be punished by stronger continental teams.
"This is a childhood dream come true," said winning goal scorer Marcel Schmelzer, whose 64th minute strike was a deserved reward for a dominant second half display.
It was also fitting that Schmelzer scored the decisive goal after coach Juergen Klopp specifically told his left back to venture forward as often as possible to bolster Dortmund's attacking options.
"I hope we could satisfy fans and show the critics that we can hold our own in Europe and beat big teams like Real," added Schmelzer, who was recently criticised by Germany coach Joachim Loew.
While Dortmund have won back-to-back domestic titles, their European form has been constantly questioned but they are now in prime position to secure a spot in the knockout stage.
"We know we have had a very good start to the group but we are a long way from having qualified. That is our aim," defender Mats Hummels said.
After three of six matches, Dortmund are on seven points, one ahead of Real with Ajax on three and City on one.
For coach Klopp, the European improvement is a natural development for a team he has been carefully cultivating for four years.
Equally as impressive is the will to win Dortmund showed just a few days after losing their biggest domestic match of the season to bitter local rivals Schalke 04.
"Should anyone start doubting the character of my team then that person would instantly lose my respect," Klopp said. "My boys give everything they have. We may be doing many things wrong but we always want to do things."

I have never, never been subjected to such " cretons " . Most of the time, when they call I can not understand one word they are saying. At least give as the courtesy of speaking our language.
I always get someone different everytime I call, and have to go thru everything all over again, and everyone tells me something different.
I admit, I have been missing payments, but I asked them to re-do my contract to a payment I can afford. I was sent what they called an ammendment to my original contract - then they told me it was only an " example ". I paid one more payment of the full amount, and then was told that the " committe ", who ever they are, rejecteed the new contract but they wound submit it again if I made two more payments of the full amount.
This has got to stop. I will pay the lower amount. I shall not respond .

Toning down business section bias[edit]
The business structure section contains a paragraph about the sale of sound recordings and how this translates into royalties for artists. Prior to my edits of 10 and 13 Sep 2009, this aspect of the music industry was characterized too simply. By failing to mention that the labels' revenues from sales of sound recordings are not "royalties", and that the disbursement of actual royalties from such sales depends on the contracts artists have with labels, the reader is misled into accepting the romantic notion that all artists receive royalties from any sales of the sound recordings they participated in, which is untrue — some recordings are "works for hire" for which the artist receives no royalties whatsoever, and more commonly, contracts with artists (such as one I have, myself) require a minimum level of sales to recoup the label's investment before the artists are entitled to any royalties. Furthermore, the vast majority of sound recordings generate little or no revenue, as demonstrated by PRS Chief Economist Will Page's recent article refuting the 'Long Tail' theory as it applies to online music sales.[1] That is, sales correspond to popularity, and the popular recordings are only a small portion of those available. Thus it's improper to imply that all recordings generate revenues, let alone royalties. IMHO such oversimplifications indicate bias, perhaps unintentional, in favor of the labels and publishers who stand to gain from it.
That's why I made the following edits, which were soon reverted by "David T Tokyo":
- When CDs sell…part of the money is returned to the performers in the form of royalties is an example I changed, as per the above rationale, so it doesn't cut out the very important middleman, the record label. I changed it to When CDs sell…part of the money is returned to the sound recording copyright owners — the record companies — who may, depending on the agreements they have with the performers, share a portion of that money with the performers in the form of royalties.
- An anonymous visitor changed Most recordings only earn royalties for a short period after they are released. to Most recordings generate substantial revenues for a short period after they are released. The edit summary said Previous version…made it sound like royalties stopped being paid after a short period of time which is not true. I see how the change does alleviate the stated concern, but it resulted in the statement Most recordings generate substantial revenues which is, as I mentioned above, insufficient. I changed it to Most recordings, if they generate substantial revenues, generate them only for a short period after they are released.
- The clause after which the song becomes part of the "back catalogue" or library was grammatically incorrect due to disagreement in number (recordings vs. song), and didn't explain what being in the "back catalogue" means, economically. I changed it to a separate sentence: Afterward, the songs become part of the "back catalogue" or library, where they become candidates for future re-release, such as on compilations or licensed for use in film or television.
- This pair of sentences was somewhat awkward: A much smaller number of recordings have become "classics", with longstanding popularity, such as albums by the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. These albums have continued to earn royalties for the surviving band members decades after their original release date. The second sentence is really just referring to the Beatles and Rolling Stones albums, but it's too easy to read it as meaning that artists get royalties from all classic albums. Again this is just an example of painting with too broad a brush, probably not even intentionally, and my attempt to improve it by replacing surviving band members with record companies (although I forgot to change royalties to revenues) shouldn't be regarded as disingenuous.
- Lastly, the iTunes brand & software isn't quite the same thing as the iTunes Store online music vendor, so I replaced mentions of iTunes with iTunes Store. This shouldn't have been blindly reverted along with my other edits.
I went ahead and re-did my edits, adjusted a bit and incorporating "David T Tokyo"'s additional fixes, but omitting my back-catalogue clarification, so the paragraph now reads as follows: When CDs sell in stores or on websites such as the iTunes Store, part of the money obtained by the record label for the sales may be paid to the performers in the form of royalties. Of the recordings which generate substantial revenues for the labels, most do so only for a short period after they are released, after which the song becomes part of the label's "back catalogue" or library. A much smaller number of recordings have become "classics", with longstanding popularity, such as CDs by the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. These albums have continued to generate revenue for the labels and often, in turn, royalties for artists, long after their original release.
Of course the fact remains that this entire section is mostly uncited. That shouldn't be used as an excuse to retain inaccurate and misleading generalizations. The entire article is fair game for continued improvement, and the addition of citations is part of that. I will devote as much time as I can to seeking out references where necessary. If there are specific claims that anyone feels need attributions more than others, please tag them as needing citations so I can give them higher priority. Thanks! —mjb (talk) 07:14, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
- I agree with your edits and I agree very strongly that this section needs to be rewritten both for clarity and comprehensiveness. The section is very poorly organized, in my view. It dwells on some details and ignores others. As a whole, I don't think it really explains how the money flows through the music business from ticket sales and retail into the pockets of musicians, promoters, managers, record companies and everyone else.
- What we need is a paragraph that describes the basic idea of a recording contract first, and then finds a simple way to list all the caveats. Traditional recording contracts are insanely complicated (think of "free goods") and have only become more complicated and varied in the 21st century, as lawyers, managers and record companies attempt to re-invent the business. There is almost nothing you can say about record contracts that applies to all of them, or even the majority of them.
- However, this article needs to get across the basic ideas first. There is a shocking number of people out there who think that recording artists aren't "really" paid by iTunes at all.
- Anyway, having said that, I apologize that I don't have the time to write a truly elementary introduction to the business of music that is well organized, sourced and flows well. If either of you is interested in doing a major overhaul of this section, I would help with what I can. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 23:10, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
- I have boldly rewritten this section. My main goal was to describe the way money typically flows through the music business, without getting caught up in unimportant details. As I said above, the reality is far more complicated than the section could possibly describe. The section is peppered with dozens of "usually"s and "typically"s and "traditionally"s.
- If we want to fix this section more, could we please use footnotes to describe the exceptions and counter examples? Otherwise the reader will never understand the whole system on a first reading. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 22:31, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
'Recorded Music Retail Sales' table[edit]
This table is not very informative. The last column "change" - change of what? And compared to what? The sales - in what units are they? It's hard to believe the total sales were just over $12,000. For what period is it? I'm guessing one year. Which one? What's the source of these data?

FYI On the "read" page, organization is spelled incorrectly. On the "edit" page, it is spelled incorrectly. Is this a computer "glitch"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 19:12, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
- Both spellings (organization, organisation) are correct. These are regional differences. People who contributed to the article just used what was right for them. Ideally they should all be made consistent in the article. See WP:ENGVAR for Wikipedia's policy on this. MOS:SPELLING and the more detailed American and British English spelling differences may be interesting reading for you. —mjb (talk) 22:43, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Graphics and illustrations needed[edit]
We need a graphic for dropping revenues in the music industry. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 20:05, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
- Something like this? ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 13:11, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
- The ideal graphic, in my view, would be a layered graph, showing how consumer spending has changed. It would include layers for (a) Physical sales (b) Digital downloads (c) Streaming (d) Live music revenues (e) Music-related consumer electronics. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 13:14, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
I find it very difficult to believe that streaming has made any real impact on the decline. Streaming services (such as Pandora, Spotify, etc.) pay notoriously little. I'd like to see some hard numbers. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 13:11, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
- The IFPI's declining sales figures, and the way they are presented here, implies that the record industry has X% less money than it did before and that piracy is the one and only reason for that. But these figures are selective and misleading.
- Physical product sales are certainly in decline. Some pundits attribute the decline in music purchases to consumer disillusionment with a decline in quality and homogenization of music, but I haven't seen any compelling evidence to back that up. What I have seen reported is 1. less physical product is being made (arguably in response to declining sales), 2. there's increasing competition from other forms of entertainment (video and games, especially), 3. since the mid-2000s, people have been buying more digital product (downloads from web stores), and 4. a not-insignificant number of would-be customers resorted to piracy.
- More recently, though, piracy and sales of both physical and digital product have been getting hit by 5. competition from streaming in all its forms (net radio, cloud storage, social music), both licensed and unlicensed (although digital sales are still up, apparently). You're right, these streaming services aren't as profitable for the industry as product sales, but I've seen reports that non-product-sales sources of revenue are more than making up for the decline in product sales (see below); so piracy is, arguably, a red herring, and the music industry is profiting more than ever.
- It's OK to talk about piracy and shifts in what forms of music and other entertainment are responsible, but we shouldn't be saying anything in the article to make it seem like the music industry is collapsing and that it's all due to piracy. The industry is booming, piracy is on the decline, and there are notable shifts in where and how consumers are spending their entertainment budgets.
- For numbers, probably a very good source is the trove of reports at Dow Jones Statista; just enter 'music' in the search box. A fair amount of their content requires paid access, but you can probably do a web search for the title of the stats/reports in question and find third-party reports based on the same data.
- However, I tend to be drawn more to infographics:
- Here are more sources:
- The Sky is Rising - infographic + report
- What's working in music - Having a ball - In the supposedly benighted music business, a lot of things are making money - from The Economist
- Media Piracy in Emerging Economies - Chapter 1 discusses how industry stats are misleading and manipulated
- Copyright Infringement and Enforcement in the US - includes info about relationship between piracy, sales, streaming
- Hadopi (French "3 Strikes Law") Report - Shows piracy in sharp decline in 2011, and music/movie industry revenues in slight decline; critics see it as evidence the industry has problems other than piracy
- Pro-file-sharing blog TorrentFreak occasionally conducts analyses of recent industry reports. Here are a couple that touch on the topic at hand:
- And here's an interesting pair from BPI; draw your own conclusions (I know, we're not allowed to, but still):
- I know I've seen more, but these are just the ones I found in my bookmarks and with some cursory searches. I can do more research as time permits.
- If nothing else, I hope this convinces you of the need to acknowledge non-piracy factors, especially the rise of streaming/social music services as a significant factor in the decline of physical product sales, and more generally just to be cautious and not just blindly parrot the music industry's selective statistics and pronouncements. —mjb (talk) 08:12, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
- The article does not blame file sharing for the decline in revenues. It just reports that there is a decline. It does not identify the source of the decline. It criticizes the "law enforcement" approach taken by the RIAA. It even mentions that there exist sources that claim that the decline in revenues isn't due to filesharing. (And in fact, I tend to agree; as Steve Jobs argued in his "no more DRM" letter, the real culprit is probably CD-burning, not filesharing. University of Georgia professor and musician David Lowery argues in this that the cause of the decline is just the crappy structure of the deals that the technology industry has offered musicians. He may have a point.)
- I need to look at your sources more closely. But at first glance, I have to say this, and I don't mean to offend. Some of your sources claim there has been no decline. I'm sorry, but these source have no more merit than holocaust denials. For those of us who work in the industry, the decline is obvious and the signs of it have been everywhere: major, well loved and well run firms (like Tower Records, A&M studios or the Hit Factory) have been forced out of business. People we know have lost their jobs. Surely, in 2012, we don't need to argue any more about whether the music industry has lost a truckload of money. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 08:25, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
Come to think of it, an even better number would be to estimate artists' gross income, by taking into consideration all the percentages involved. (a) Record companies take about 45% of retail to pay out unrecouped advances to artists, market and promote records, and, yes, to buy big houses, although not so much any more. (b) Retail stores take about 40% off the top (for rent, inventory risks, etc.) (c) Streaming services pay very small amounts, but there's not a published percentage that everybody knows. How do their royalty expenses relate to their income? This would be a good number to have. (d) Downloading services (such as iTunes) takes about 30% off the top for ... nothing much, really. Because they can. (d) What is the net for touring, on average? (e) And, of course, the net for artists from consumer electronics is zero. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 13:48, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
- I'm sure there are sources we can cite in order to create a vague pie chart for "where the money goes" for a typical music purchase, airplay, or net radio stream. There are also sources for how much money is being poured into tours and how that relates to artist income.
- But if the goal is to get a clear idea of all of the income streams for a typical recording artist, composer or lyricist, I doubt such a thing has ever been published. Contracts between artists, labels, publishers and collection societies are generally private. Labels and publishers don't want people to know how much they're making off each artist, and famous artists really don't want their finances made public, especially if they partially rely on sources of income other than direct sales of their music. Occasionally some details will surface publicly, such as in the recent lawsuit by Kenny Rogers against Capitol, but that's focusing on issues orthogonal to what we're discussing. Still, might be worth looking into more closely. —mjb (talk) 08:12, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
- The "normal" percentages paid to retail, radio, management, record companies, etc. are all widely known inside the industry. There's no mystery to these numbers. Everyone needs to know them in order to do their jobs. In fact, the details of most major deals are published in Billboard. Are you speculating? ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 08:25, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
Our original mini-edit war was over the question of whether streaming was earning enough money make up for the lost in revenues from other ways of selling recorded music. Do you any of your sources provide proof of this? The reason I ask is that (I believe) that Pandora and Rhapsody pay only fractions of a penny per spin, a very very little of that shows up in the bank accounts of musicians. I'm (coincidentally) talking to Pandora about this at the moment and I should have hard numbers soon. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 08:48, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks, but I think we're somewhat talking past each other, here.
- We agree that people are streaming more and buying less, and what they do buy isn't as profitable as the cash cow that was CDs in the '90s. And we agree that streaming is way less profitable than sales, and that it apparently doesn't offset the decline in revenue (although I'd like to see some aggregate numbers, not the oft-quoted per-listen or per-song figures, which of course aren't as profitable as downloads, why should they be?).
- In the article, there's a sequence of things that are said. To paraphrase: 1. Revenues for physical product and downloads of recorded music declined greatly from 1999 to 2008. 2. The industry has downsized and struggled to adjust. 3. One of the first things they did in this period was shut down a number of file-sharing services (Napster being the most famous one), and threatened thousands of individual file-sharers, but this didn't stop the decline in revenue.
- Now, you say this doesn't imply that the industry solely blames piracy for its decline in sales revenue, but I say it does. I don't see how you can read it otherwise. There's nothing about what one of the sources I mentioned calls the end of the digital "replacement cycle", nothing about iPods, nothing about people buying tracks more than albums, nothing about people substituting purchases with streaming, nothing about people substituting purchases of music with non-music entertainment options (video games, DVDs/Blu-Ray, streaming video), nothing about people streaming music instead of buying, nothing about the fact that the music industry has other sources of revenue besides sales.
- The point of emphasizing that the IFPI's figures are for a very specific type of revenue stream ("sales, not streaming") was not intended to suggest that the rise of streaming has appreciably compensated for the sales-revenue decline, or even to say that the industry's losses are overstated, although I do have my doubts (to the extent that they're selective about which figures they draw attention to, not the figures themselves). I was mainly just trying to downplay the subsequent emphasis on piracy—i.e., the arguably false implication that revenues are down solely because consumers are still getting music but have stopped paying for it, when in fact they've shifted their spending to a variety of options. Certainly there are those who engage in file-sharing of doubtful legality, but gobs of people are flocking to legal options...it's just that these legal alternatives to buying CDs simply do not have the profit margins of CD sales.
- Really, the article needs more than just a mention of streaming, in order to put sales-revenue figures in proper context. We need other metrics besides revenues, and a more complete picture of revenue sources than just sales. We also need a more thorough breakdown of what shifts are occurring in consumer spending. However, that's more than I have time for... :) —mjb (talk) 11:44, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
- It's important to say this very precisely. First, many in the industry blame file sharing for the decline. This is simply a fact, and this article must report well-sourced facts. As you point out, the article implies this passively without saying it exactly. However, the article does not state that file sharing is the cause of the decline. This is not a fact, it is an opinion (and one which both you and I disagree with). There is even a sentence in the article that denies this opinion, despite the fact that this is very much a minority point of view.
- To address your issues we could (1) Make sure we have the right aggregate numbers for streaming, digital downloads and physical media. (I am confident that this number will only differ by a few percent, but of course the article would be improved by the perfect number.) (2) Beef up the sentence that denies file sharing is the cause of the decline. Mention Job's letter and some of your sources. (To me, this post-game debate is somewhat pointless, but there's no reason not to give it another sentence.) (3) Add a bit more about how artists (especially older acts) have raised ticket prices and pushed merchandise harder to increase revenues. Note, however, that the big acts could have raised their prices in any decade, and they are only doing so now as a reaction to the decline in sales revenues. As such, it is not really relevant to a discussion of the severity or causes of the decline.
- There is a simple, obvious and important story here. People stopped spending as much on recorded music, and the industry has had to change. This is the main point that the article needs to get across. The reasons they stopped spending money on recorded music are complicated and some of them are in dispute, but the main story is very simple. All of these minor issues should probably be covered in the article 2000s in the music industry rather than here. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 18:17, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Reading the sources[edit]
I finally found time to actually read through your sources above. I signed each of my comments below, so feel free to reply in-between.
- The Sky is Rising - infographic + report
This article claims that the value of the "music industry" is increasing. However, these numbers are either completely fictional or extremely misleading. The value of the worldwide recording industry (which is what we're discussing) is dropping, and is now in the 20-30 billion range -- nowhere near the 168 billion as this info-graphic states. The only way to get this number is to include two sectors that pay almost nothing to musicians. (1) Consumer electronics, such as digital music players, at 100 billion or so I think. They pay 0% to musicians. (2) Radio advertising, which I would think is about 15 or 20 billion, which pays less than 1% to record companies (and, if you count independent promoters, they actually charge musicians money). If you add in live music (at around 20 billion) you get a number close what 168 billion. Some of these (consumer electronics, live music) are increasing in value, so that would explain why this info graphic reports an increase. But the lion's share of this increase is in consumer electronics. I think it's hardly fair to count "consumer electronics" as part of the music industry to give the impression that the music industry is increasing in value. If there's no musician in the money chain, it's not the music industry, as far as I'm concerned.
Of course, I am speculating about the source of these numbers, and I could be wrong. There's no way to tell, because (ironically) the full article is not freely downloadable. They want to get paid. Ironic and hypocritical. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 05:39, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
This article explicitly describes the downturn, and places the blame on piracy, which is the opposite of the point I think you're trying to make. To quote:
For the past ten years sales of recorded music have declined so steeply as to become a cautionary tale about the disruptive power of the internet. The rise of illegal file-sharing and the end of the digital "replacement cycle", in which people bought CDs to replace tapes and records, caused spending to collapse. Sales of CDs, tapes and records have slid by 40% in Britain since 2001, according to the BPI, which represents record labels. In Japan, the world's biggest CD sales market, the number of discs sold fell by 6% in 2008 and 24% in 2009. Price cuts meant that revenues dropped even more steeply.
The rise in digital music-sales is scant compensation. People tend to buy tracks, not albums, from sites like Apple's iTunes. They can obtain their favourite music much more cheaply than they could in the CD era. And even digital sales are now stalling.
The article goes on to report on how revenues from live music and merchandise have increased, mostly because ticket prices for the big acts (U2, Gaga, etc.) have gone through the roof. As I said earlier, I think this is off-topic: the issue we are discussing is the decline in revenues for recorded music, not the increase in live music ticket prices. Live music obviously has no connection to piracy. (Unless you want to argue that the fact that I have two jobs means that I deserve to be paid less for my first job, which is nonsense.)
Having said that, I should say I'm happy to include a little more about the increase in revenue from live music, and maybe this even deserves it's own paragraph. This is a great citation for that. (We should probably also report that almost all of this new money is going from older people to a handful of well-established acts, and I would probably use the Lowery article as citation for this point.) ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 05:39, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
- Media Piracy in Emerging Economies - Chapter 1 discusses how industry stats are misleading and manipulated
This is a really solid source. They talk about how the "losses due to piracy" are impossible to calculate and that the numbers publicized by the RIAA in ten years ago were grossly exaggerated. They also note that these crap numbers have ruined the credibility of RIAA. We could add this, right after the sentence that calls the RIAA's efforts a "disaster".
The book also reports that research community has vastly improved its reliability over the decade. They write that, at this point, "we view the IIPA-cited rates [generated by the IFPI and others] as at least plausible and very possibly as understating the actual prevalence of pirated goods."
Note that this book is not discussing the downturn in revenues and does not dispute the IFPI or RIAA's numbers about this. This book is discussing "losses due to piracy", which is a different number. This article (deliberately) does not report anything about the losses due piracy, and, as I mentioned above, this article does not even go so far as to claim that there is a connection between piracy and the downturn (despite the fact that almost everyone in the industry believes this is the case). ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 05:39, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
- Copyright Infringement and Enforcement in the US - includes info about relationship between piracy, sales, streaming
This has nothing about sales or streaming. It's just an opinion poll about how people feel about copyright enforcement and shows that they have mixed feelings: they want some enforcement, just small fines, nothing that violates privacy, and it should be okay to share with your family. Of course, this doesn't mean that they are right or wrong about this; it just shows that this is what they think. There is nothing in here about the issue we are discussing: the decline in revenues and the real causes of the decline. Also note that this article describes the enforcement option as a "disaster", so it's hard to accuse this article as being biased towards the music industry on the "enforcement" issue. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 05:39, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
- Hadopi (French "3 Strikes Law") Report - Shows piracy in sharp decline in 2011, and music/movie industry revenues in slight decline; critics see it as evidence the industry has problems other than piracy
Unless I missed it, there is no comparison in this article between revenue decline in France and the drop in piracy in france. Without that, this article is an argument for the enforcement option. Did I miss it? Can you tell me which page this was on? ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 05:39, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
- Pro-file-sharing blog TorrentFreak occasionally conducts analyses of recent industry reports. Here are a couple that touch on the topic at hand:
This article describes a study that showed (conclusively) that after France's Hadopi law was very publicly discussed, people bought more songs on iTunes relative to other countries, and therefor concluded that people were less to likely pirate music after they heard about the law. The article (correctly, I think) points out that it wasn't the law that turned people away from piracy, it was the discussion of the law that turned people away from piracy. The music industry claimed that this study shows enforcement works; torrent freak correctly points out that this conclusion is unwarranted. However, it does show that discussing enforcement works. (They also make a speculative argument that jump might have something to do with Spotify's rise to power the previous year, the idea being that this dropped sales in other countries. This argument requires us to believe that, for some reason, the buzz on Spotify skipped France and that the buzz suddenly stopped, coincidentally, the same month Hadopi was debated.) This is way too small a detail to be discussed in this article. At any rate, note that the article describes the enforcement option as a "disaster", so it is certainly not biased towards the music industry on the issue of enforcement. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 05:39, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
This article questions whether the LimeWire shut down actually raised sales at iTunes, so it addresses the general issue of exactly how much money is lost to piracy. Similar to the previous. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 05:39, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
- And here's an interesting pair from BPI; draw your own conclusions (I know, we're not allowed to, but still):
This article documents the widespread belief throughout the industry that piracy is hurting the sales of the digital downloads. This is the opposite of the point you're trying to make, so I'm not sure why you included it. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 05:39, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
This notes how much digital sales have grown. This could be used as an additional citation and detail to the sentence in the article that says, "Legal digital downloads became widely available with the debut of the iTunes Store in 2003. The popularity of internet music distribution has increased and by 2012 digital music sales topped the physical sale of music." Note that the rise in digital sales has not been anywhere near enough to make for the loss of revenue from digital sources. (As the next sentence in the article states.) Also note that these two source do not contradict each other. Digital sales are rising, but not as fast as physical sales are falling, and they may be rising in spite of piracy. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 05:39, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
Statistics section outdated[edit]
Why is the content dated back to 2005? That was 7 years ago, time to get an update! --J (t) 03:10, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
- If no one is interested in maintaining the "statistics" section of the page, perhaps we should drop it. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 17:39, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- I'm killing the statistics section in a few days unless someone objects. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 04:07, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
- I agree - but let's keep the link to the Global music industry market share data page. David T Tokyo (talk) 06:25, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
Lead section[edit]
What exactly is wrong with the lead? I'm happy to fix it, just don't know why it was tagged. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 17:42, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- It seemed pretty messy overall to me, I reworked it quite a bit and removed the label. It's not an excellent lead, but it probably just needs some tweaking now, as opposed to a complete re-write.(a citation to a source's definition of music industry, less lists of occupations in the body, better flow in the last three sentences)Forbes72 (talk) 04:02, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
- Do we really need a citation for a definition of the "music industry"? I really doubt this is something which is likely to be challenged. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 18:35, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
Facts disputed[edit]
Exactly which facts are disputed? There are no "disputed" tags on the page. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 17:43, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not sure. The tag should be removed if we can't find what's disputed.Forbes72 (talk) 04:05, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
- And...I found it. The article previously stated that EMI is a division of Universal since 2011. After checking sources, regulatory approval has not yet been granted. Fixed and cited. I'm going to remove that tag- if anyone finds more inaccuracies, just leave a message on this talk page.Forbes72 (talk) 05:14, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
The only possible section where "NPOV" is an issue would probably be the "21st century" section. All the facts in that section are well cited, and it tells the same story as the articles do. The citations are from main stream sources such as The New York Times and the Economist. The article takes great pains to report only the most certain and widely known facts about this issue. Every effort has been made to avoid bias towards either the technology industry or the music industry.
If there are specific statements that are biased, let's discuss them, and let's compare sources (as we have been doing above). The tag at the top of the page is not helpful, because it's not clear exactly what you think is biased. In my opinion, the article isn't biased. Without additional information, I will remove the tag in a few days or weeks.
We need to recognize that the music industry's difficulties in the 21st century is a an emotional issue, especially for some Wikipedians, who tend to side with the technology industry on this one. Let's just stick to what the mainstream sources say, and leave out the fringe analysis. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 17:53, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
I went through the section (now named "Rise of Digital distribution") and checked source-content correlation. I couldn't find any that support the 29% worldwide decline in music revenue, but given that exact numbers are given, and fact that US revenue dropped 50%, it seems quite unlikely these numbers are just made up. Everything else seems either sourced or quite reasonable. I'd welcome further improvement of sources, but I don't think any of the information here is just conjecture.Forbes72 (talk) 04:19, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
How big do the sections have to be? There's nothing in the guideline about this. This is easy to fix, if you don't like it; just edit the article. Why tag it? ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 18:17, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- DoneI combined a few, by giving history sections more descriptive names, and combining a couple under business model. Shouldn't be an issue anymore.Forbes72 (talk) 04:21, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
subject statelitlet — Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 03:48, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
More information on global music industry needed[edit]
While the parent companies of Universal Music (Vivendi, France) and Sony Music (Sony, Japan) are based outside the United States, the actual music business is still based within the USA; the international arm of Universal Music is based in London, but I doubt it has significant control.
More information should also be given on the large Asian markets (Various Arabic/Indian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Various SEA). Only Sony and Universal have any significant interests in Asia, and Sony's share is probably far larger in Asia. Weewaterasia (talk) 01:52, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
I removed this section, because it simply isn't true:
In addition to these traditional business relationships, new ways of doing business are being developed in the 2000s. Technology, such as music production software and the Internet has had an enormous impact on how music is created and distributed. In the 1970s and 1980s, if a pop or rock band wanted to make a recording, they had to go to a professional recording studio to have the recording made, and then get a record label to market and distribute physical copies of the LP, tape, or in the 1980s, the CD. During that same time period, if a contemporary classical composer wanted to have a score and musical parts for her new symphony prepared, she would have to go to a music publishing company which had the capability to prepare professional scores and parts.Doubtful In the 2000s, a band can record an album using a USB mic and a high-end laptop with a digital recording software such as Garageband and then sell digital copies online through the band's website. In the 2000s, a symphony composer can prepare a professional-level score and parts herself using digital score-writing software such as Finale.
There are several problems:
- You can't create professional level recordings in a bedroom with a USB mike -- you need to either (1) be a great engineer and producer, or (2) hire a great engineer and producer. E.g., to make a recording with a great "pocket", you need someone who knows how to tweak the kick drum until it makes the listener's head move. This is not something that GarageBand can do automatically (at least, not yet). Top producer/engineers (think Dr. Dre or Steve Lillywhite) are highly paid because they can do things that no one else can do, and they are not available in the average bedroom. Recording isn't cheap, even with digital technology. Digital technology has replaced the 24 track Studor tape machine, but this was never the expensive part of recording. The expensive part is expertise.
- The average musician can't make a living selling recordings on your website. The only artists that I am aware of who can generate a comfortable income this way are artists who established themselves by other means, or semi-professional artists who rely on resources other than their music. You need real marketing, promotion and distribution if you expect to quit your day job. You need the iTunes store, a manager, a relationship with a people who know marketing, a relationship with radio promoters and pockets deep enough to pay all these people. You can do it without a record company, but in the real world, this is expensive. You still need someone to loan you the money.
- Recording artists (in the traditional system) needed to have a record deal before they went in the studio. Unless they're rich. The record company paid the (aforementioned) producer and engineer.
- A composer used to send his score to a copyist to get parts, not a publishing company. And yes, "copyist" is no longer a profession, because composer can now create the parts on the office printer and bring them into the studio. (But again, "copying" was not the hard part of writing, performing and recording a symphony -- this is not where most of the time or money is going.) The publishing company makes sure the composer gets paid if they're composition is used by anyone else, and nothing has changed there.
This is an article about the music industry, that is, people who make a living from music. This paragraph is wishful thinking, about a "future of music" that hasn't happened and isn't likely to happen any time soon. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 04:49, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
Bad Math[edit]
Hi guys, the % change column of the total revenue by year table in the stats section makes absolutely no sense and is completely inaccurate from a year to year perspective. Going from $14.97 billion to $15 billion is not a 3.2% change, and decreasing from $18.8 billion to $18.4 billion is not an 8% decrease. I would change them immediately but I want to make sure that I haven't missed something completely. The odd part is that the sources agree with the stated percentages while also agreeing with the stated revenues. I'm very confused, but I think the hard revenue numbers hold more weight year to year, so I'll adjust the percentages to match later unless anyone has any objections. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 00:46, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

I called the number to see why tghey were claiming I had won money at a site I had never been to. The man answered with a orental accent. His first words were "have you cashed the check and if not go ahead and cash it".
He then wanted me to call him back once the check had been cashed. I knew something was not right so I asked him where I was calling. He told me Arlington, VA. I knew that was incorrect due to the area code (289).
The next moring I looked at the check closer. He is now using Citi Bank and not US Bank. There was a phone number on the check so i called it. It was the same man at the phone number. He must be a bust man since the second phone number I called he said he was in Los Angles, CA.
I then asked him to verify if the check was good. He said he worked for CitiBank. When I gave him the account number for funds to be verified I changed the last two numbers of the account.
He then told me that yes the check was good for the amount of $1,977.47 and that I only had a few days to cash it. I told him that he was wrong since I never gave him my name or the check number. I then hung up on him.
i later called him back (same man) three hours later and again asked about the check with the same answer. I then called the number listed on the letter and got the same man again. This time I asked him what I should do after I cashed the check. he told me to verify the money was sent and call him back for the address to mail th money to.
I told him I would and to please be on the look out for the letter since I needed the money. He asked for my name to look for the letter. I told him that I only go by the initals of my name. I told him F.B.I and hung up the phone. I then called the Ca. Attorney General and the Canadian Mounted police.
I shure home this guy gets caught. I am surprissed he has lasted this long

My aunt has been through every other MLM out there: Trump vitamins, Amway, Herbalife, and now Arbonne. She refuses to see what it has done to her life. Every relative/friend has left her. We all ignore her because she's always trying to sell us some new "miracle" this or that. She constantly hosts "parties" where she feeds prospective clients/downline and gives them free samples. Her house is filled with useless products that she has failed to sell over the last 20 years or so that she's been involved with this nonsense. And, worse yet, her 20 year old son has now taken up this crap as well, hosting his own parties, hoping to strike it rich.
Do not believe what the "consultants" are telling you!! They have no idea what they're talking about. They only signed up to "get rich quick." Little do they know, they will NEVER get rich. It's proven time and time again that over 99% of people involved in MLMs NEVER make any money. People, please check online, google the organization before signing up. Don't just listen to the company. They will tell you whatever they need to to get you to sign up! Look at reports like this one.
Read what the other people have to say about it. If you were buying a Yugo (the crappy car from the 80's, wouldn't you read Consumer Reports or listen to what other people had to say? Would you take a Yugo representative's word for it?!! Read what other people have to say! Read what the government has to say about MLMs! Educate yourself. Don't just listen to what the salesman has to say. He obviously is BIASED! He is trying to unload a bogus product on an unsuspecting customer!
Read, read, read. Educate yourself. A fool and his money are soon parted. Don't be that fool.

Rice: Bush not to rule out any option against Iran
Military action against Iran over its nuclear development program is not on the agenda, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in an interview aired on Sunday. However, she added that President George W. Bush would not rule out any option to address fears that Tehran is seeking nuclear arms.
"Military action isn't on the agenda. The agenda is a diplomatic one," Rice told BBC Television in a joint interview with British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw.
"We are on a diplomatic course and we believe that with strong international support, with strong international coherence about this, we can succeed," she noted. Rice came back: "The American president never takes any option off the table ... It is as Jack said at this point, however, an abstract issue."
