EMI Group PLC said Friday two top music executives are leaving the company and said it expects revenue to fall at its music division after lower-than-expected sales over the Christmas period.

However, on Friday, the company downgraded its full-year revenue forecast significantly. It expects a… Read more »
The record industry’s trade group has warned 204 people suspected of illegally swapping music over the Internet that it plans to file lawsuits against them. The Recording Industry Association of America started mailing sternly worded warnings last week. Unlike last month’s crackdown against 261 alleged song sharers, the targets are being notified before lawsuits are filed. “In light of the comments we have heard, we want to go the extra mile and offer illegal file sharers an additional chance to work this out, short of legal action,” said RIAA president Cary Sherman. The letters give the recipients 10 days to… Read more »
Four Internet users at the center of a legal battle over copyright violations will receive cease-and-desist letters demanding they stop illegally offering free music for downloading, the Recording Industry Association of America said Wednesday. A U.S. appeals court ruling earlier this month compelled Verizon Communications Inc. to hand over to the association the names of the four subscribers.

Lamy said that a fifth person, a customer of Earthlink Inc., also will receive an identical cease-and-desist letter. Earthlink lawyers had balked at identifying… Read more »

As authorities seek clues in what may become a criminal investigation of Thursday night’s inferno, attention is already focused on the shower of sparks that the band used to kick off their fatal gig at the Station nightclub in West Warwick, Rhode Island. Great White played on Feb. 14 at the Stone Pony, a club in Asbury Park, New Jersey made… Read more »
Police warn all clubbers, partygoers and unsuspecting pub regulars to be alert and stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman. A new date rape drug on the market called “beer” is used by many females to target unsuspecting men. The drug is generally found in liquid form and is now available almost anywhere. “Beer” is used by female sexual predators at parties and bars to persuade their male victims to go home and have sex with them. Typically, a woman needs only to persuade a guy to consume a few units of “beer” and then simply ask him… Read more »
As Incubus rev up to hit the road for the Honda Civic tour, the band has a warning for its fans – literally. “Warning” will be the next single from the group’s latest record, Morning View, and Incubus will shoot a video for the tune next week during their Australian tour. “It’s probably going to follow relatively closely to the content of the song, which is basically about a moment in somebody’s life where they realize they’ve been wasting their time,” singer Brandon Boyd said. “And they realize that right when it’s too late. So, almost in a West Side… Read more »
