October 23rd, 2010 admin Lawrence Mijares – AHN News Contributor
Sydney, Australia (AHN) – Singapore’s stock exchange is poised to take over its counterpart, the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), forming a US$13.8 billion alliance, through a US$6 billion bid by Singapore to be announced Monday, according to media reports.
Commenting on the reported merger, a spokesman for the Australian exchange said Friday, “ASX does not have any information to disclose at this time but has observed an increase in the ASX share price today.” The ASX called for a two-day trading halt last week prior to the start of the weekend.
Former Merrill Lynch Australia chief executive Greg Bundy told The Australian that the merger was in line with the global trend towards consolidation between exchanges, ahead of the planned merger of the Japanese and Hong Kong bourses.
“Singapore and Australia are the most progressive of the exchanges in this time zone, they are the market leaders, and it could be they are getting together to pre-empt the involvement of Japan and Hong Kong both of which have had their issues,” he said.
The merger would still be subject to government approval, particularly by the Foreign Investment Review Board. It is expected to enhance cultural ties between the two countries as well as accelerate financial links into Asia by Australians who can now invest easily in Asian shares, and vice versa for Asian investors over Australian shares.
Singapore stock exchange chairman J.Y. Pillay and its chief executive, Magnus Bocker, will maintain the same positions in the merged exchange while ASX chairman David Gonski will assume the post of deputy chairman.

September 23rd, 2010 admin Ah, the recording industry. We’ve already discussed how ridiculously complex it is for a music startup to obtain the licenses it needs. Combine that with the ridiculously high rates demanded by the record labels and the fact that they demand licensing for things that shouldn’t need additional licenses, and you understand why it’s so difficult for music startups to survive, and why the market is so fragmented. You hear it all the time. Spotify isn’t available in the US. Pandora isn’t available outside the US. And so on. Name the startup and there are serious restrictions on it. Things in Canada are pretty bad, where they basically don’t have any of these music services, and it’s because the Canadian recording industry is apparently demanding absolutely, positively insane fees — such as 45% of gross revenue. Yes, gross revenues. If you know anything about the finances of these kinds of businesses, that’s laughable. As Pandora’s Tim Westergren notes, Canadian radio stations pay approximately 2.1% of gross revenue to the recording industry. As I read the article, what struck me about it is that, for all the complaints about how Canada was supposed to be some evil “pirate haven,” here was a clear case of how its ridiculous copyright situation was keeping new music services out. If copyright were really so weak in Canada, you wouldn’t have this issue at all. And then I got to the end of the article, where the Canadian Recording Industry Association boss, Graham Henderson, made the following guffaw-inducing statement: The music industry, meanwhile, says its fees are not the problem. It says music-related businesses are reluctant to enter Canada because of the country’s reputation as a file-sharing haven where music fans can download songs illicitly without fear of penalty. “Why would you spend a lot of money trying to build a service in Canada when Canadians take so much without paying for it?” said Graham Henderson, president of the Canadian Recording Industry Association, which represents major record labels. “[Canadians] just seem to have no appetite for a legal marketplace.” This comes after 26 paragraphs discussing all the different music services that want to enter the Canadian market, but can’t because of the ridiculous rates that the recording industry wants to charge. It always shocks me that folks like Henderson can make such blatantly false statements like this and people don’t call him on it. He gets away with it because no one points out that his statements make no sense. Permalink | Comments | Email This Story

September 20th, 2010 admin We’ve noted in the past how it seems that those in favor of stronger copyright laws almost always seem to end up getting caught violating copyright rules in some manner or another — often showing that they don’t really understand why their push for stricter laws are so problematic. In France, where the current ruling party pushed through (at great effort) the first “three strikes” law, known as Hadopi, it seems that the party has a particular problem with following copyright law itself. This is the same political party that used a song in an (awful) lip dub that it did not license (in fact they were turned down when they tried to license it — so it was willful infringement). They used the US band MGMT’s song in a video totally without permission , and they mass “pirated” a documentary about President Sarkozy without permission from the filmmaker. In that case, they burned 400 DVDs without permission, and even deleted the original publisher’s name on the version of the DVD they released. So the following really shouldn’t come as much surprise. Apparently the French culture minister, who (of course) was a major supporter of Hadopi, has been caught copying a photo from a blog entirely without permission (Google translation of the original French — found via Glyn Moody ). The blogger claims they’d be happy to let the Culture Minister use the photo, but just wanted to point out how it’s easy to grandstand and claim that copyright infringement is some awful thing, but situations like this show how it’s really not so clearcut — and even those who claim that copyright is so important and must be protected (with a potential penalty of losing internet access entirely) don’t even realize how easy it is to “innocently” infringe on copyright while doing something that feels completely normal.
