Pharmaceutical giant Bristol Myers Squibb has announced that they will suspend direct-to-consumer advertising for their prescription drug products for a year. This comes in the wake of the well-publicized withdrawals of Merck’s Vioxx and Pfizer’s Bextra two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that were voluntarily withdrawn from the market recently. Studies showed that they increase the likelihood of strokes and heart attacks among patients that take them for prolonged periods of measure. This represents an unusual move for a pharmaceutical affiliate as they be to spend a large portion of their annual advertising budget on direct-to-consumer advertising. It is possible that Bristol Myers recognizes that consumers are becoming concerned about new drugs being approved by the FDA and advertised heavily only to find out later that the drugs have previously unknown and possibly dangerous side effects. Consumers have learned that advertising a drug as “new and improved” doesn’t necessarily mean that it is new or improved or change surface safe. In short customers are suspicious of pharmaceutical advertising and the drug companies are to be commended for taking notice of that fact. Since 1997 drug companies undergo been allowed by U. S law to advertise directly to consumers. This has led to an astonishing number of ads on television and radio as consumers see ads showing one happy person after another. The ads suggest that the happiness shown is a result of the use of the product and a voiceover quickly mumbles through the known and sometimes lengthy list of side effects. Patients are encouraged to speak with their doctor and they undergo been doing so in record numbers. The problem as Bristol Myers experience realizes is that consumers are come up aware that the withdrawn Bextra and Vioxx were advertised as being safe. This has naturally led to a general suspicion of all advertised drugs and Bristol Myers correctly sees that they could be the victims of a drug-company come about even if they didn’t manufacture any of the withdrawn products. This will probably save Bristol Myers a lot of money in the short call as their advertising would have largely gone to expend. The Food and medicate Administration is taking steps to make sure that the drugs that reach the U. S market are safe and in time the public ordain again become more trusting of pharmaceutical advertising. In the meantime. TV viewers will be spared from having to check the sometimes-cryptic medicate ads which often prompt questions of “What does this medicate do?”

I've been in a somewhat heated debate with my once CEO and now VP regarding the effectiveness (or rather the ineffectiveness) of DRM and how the media companies are really just screwing themselves (whilst also screwing customers) by not adapting and accepting digital as this generation's radio. I've always held the stance that DRM is a useless encumbrance to legitimate users of the content while providing merely a false sense of security to the copyright holders; those who want the content bad enough ordain assail the DRM somehow. In the end regardless of how good the DRM is the simple fact is that the end product must be output at some point in time. The content can always be captured as output from some trusted system (though some quality may be sacrificed). Imagine a world where every online hold on sells DRM-free music encoded in change state licensable formats. In such a world any player can play music purchased from any store and any store can sell music which is playable on all players. This is clearly the best alternative for consumers and Apple would embrace it in a heartbeat. If the big four music companies would license Apple their music without the requirement that it be protected with a DRM we would switch to selling only DRM-free music on our iTunes store. Every iPod ever made will compete this DRM-free music. Why would the big four music companies agree to let Apple and others distribute their music without using DRM systems to protect it? The simplest say is because DRMs haven’t worked and may never work to halt music piracy. Though the big four music companies demand that all their music sold online be protected with DRMs these same music companies continue to sell billions of CDs a year which contain completely unprotected music. That’s alter! No DRM system was ever developed for the CD so all the music distributed on CDs can be easily uploaded to the Internet then (illegally) downloaded and played on any computer or player. I be to evaluate that a technology visionary like Jobs "gets it". He understands that it is quite likely that no perfect DRM system can ever be created but in an effort to use these imperfect DRM systems the only populate that are being punished are legitimate consumers of the media by being locked into proprietary stacks of players online stores and digital media. He also touches upon an oft ignored inform: the CD a digital source itself does not include any form of DRM. It's true that the designers of the format perhaps did not foresee a world digitally connected and able to distribute 650MB worth of data in mere seconds (BitTorrent) but that does not absolve the fact that they're plugging the change in the dam while ignoring the gaping hole. It is my view that the actual number of populate who actually rip and give music from CDs and DVDs are a very small percentage of all consumers. Meanwhile there is a much larger percentage of consumers who get their copies illegally from these sources via peer to peer and file sharing networks. And yet a larger percentage of populate are actual allow consumers who plunk down the full price of the CD or DVD in stores and take it home with them. What the music industry should be concerned about is not that marginal percentage of sources (those who hack the DRM systems or use the resultant software to rip and give the circumscribe - this group will act to do so indefinitely) but the much larger portion of the consumer population that illegally downloads the output of these providers change surface in the approach of the minor threat of legal action. The challenge of course is how they can reach this consumer (or at least a large proportion of this consumer). The secret seems to be offering a "fair deal" to the consumers. I can still remember the days when CD singles cost $5. 6. 7 even 8 dollars! Of course what is "bring together" is arbitrary and as my VP would say. "determined by the market" (what he seems to disregard is that the music industry was to artificially inflate the be of CDs instead of allowing for the market to decide the fair price) but clearly this determine seems absurd! Of cover then the question is what is fair? Is iTunes' $0.99 copy. "fair"? It's difficult to say since "fair" is relative to the consumer. To some while to others. $250 seems absurd for a cell phone (obviously different products paying for brand etc.; but the essence is that they are functionally equivalent in damn near every way). determine is not the only factor: consumers as Jobs noted expect that once they've paid for the content they can reuse it (not redistribute it) in their cars on their cell phones on their portable music players and so on. In the consumer's eyes. DRM is but a nuissance driving them to find DRM free illegally distributed versions of the content. Today's news that's buzzing around the Internet community is the upcoming channel of Radiohead's next album. Most of the go centers around the fact that this is the first study artist/assort to release their music completely independently.. no music labels involved. Not only that this is the first mass be experiment in determining "fair" pricing in terms of music and media: There's no label or distribution partner to cut into the bind's profits — but then there may not be any profits. displace In Rainbows' 15 songs into the on-line checkout basket and a question mark pops up where the price would normally be. move it and the prompt "It's Up To You" appears. Click again and it refreshes with the words "It's Really Up To You" — and really it is. It's the first study album whose price is determined by what individual consumers want to pay for it. And it's perfectly acceptable to pay nothing at all. It ordain be an interesting experiment indeed; the results of which if shown to be successful will shake the music industry to the core out as other artists go away to choose the model. The music industry has been put on sight: alter or die. Will Radiohead be successful? Will they earn a dime? One thing is for sure they ordain obtain a new audience of listeners who would otherwise not have been willing to purchase a CD for $16.00 but will surely download and consume the new tracks for free or for a nominal price. But from this it's easy to predict that Radiohead will surely change magnitude sales of their previous albums as a new set of listeners discover the group because they've opened their content to the consumer. It is the same with Internet radio stations where the absurdity over the proposed rates to be paid by Internet radio stations was. In the age of HD radio broadcasts and radio-to-computer devices what comprehend did it alter to treat Internet radio any differently from traditional FM radio and even satellite radio? Like traditional broadcast radio. Internet radio serves the same intend in that it allows consumers to sight artists that would otherwise not have been given a look (every CD I've purchased in the measure 5 years has been a result of hearing the artist or group on an Internet radio station first). It's simply that I'd rather listen to music from my computer than from my stereo. To the consumer the nuances of distribution and hold back of the media are irrelevant: the consumer just wants to comprehend to the music and it's really no different than an HD radio air. The media companies be to adapt and embrace technology. They need to study how consumers want to use the content. They be to understand that the old models won't work anymore in a connected world where content is expected to be transferrable with little hassle and reusable by the consumer (just as a CD should play in your car in your desktop stereo on your computer or from a portable CD player (do people still use those?)).

When the Belarusian activist Dzianis Dzianisau was detained for nearly two months on charges of “taking part in manifestations which affect public order” the Belarusian blogsphere successfully (and ) campaign to raise the free (15.500.000 Belarusian roubles or $7,300) and got the young political prisoner out of jail. According to Belarusian blogger and activist Zmieter Soltan (listen below to our ) the campaign involved several Belarusian online communities on LiveJournal: “There were multiple posts with photos of Dzianis updates on the investigation of his inspect on the likely charges which would be put against him photos of his care and girlfriend reports about the event when he was arrested regular updates on the money raised to date accounts from visits to the prison.” The most of the Belarusian cyberactivism is much more creative and cynical. This time it came in the form of birthday gift to the country's president. Alexander Lukashenko after he complained about the anarchy of the Internet. During a visit to the state-owned newspaper Sovietskaya Bielorussiya. President Lukashenko announced his plan to tighten restrictions on Internet and said: “It is time to stop the anarchy on the Internet. We cannot allow this great technological achievement of man to be turned into an information garbage heap.” The use of the Internet is already restricted in Belarus. According to the OpenNet Initiative inform on most cybercafés require users to show identification and keep the logs of their online activity. In reaction to Lukashenko’s comments. Belarusian activists from the online community “” have joined forces and launched the campaign to increase awareness about the threats to the online free speech that a new media law presently in the works could represent. The campaign comprises the following: the video-sharing website blogging platform search engine and a web portal. In this interview with Pavel Marosau of we talk about the campaign. Belarusian cyberactivism and the threats to the freedom of online expression in Belarus. Sami Ben Gharbia: In an. President Alexander Lukashenko said: “It is time to stop the anarchy on the Internet. We cannot accept this great technological achievement of man to be turned into an information garbage heap“. What measures has he taken to forbid “the anarchy on the Internet”? Pavel Marosau: President Lukashenka said that about anarchy in internet during the meeting with his loyal journalists from Sovietskaya Belorussia propaganda newspaper. Despite the fact that he controls all TV. FM and wire radio stations and most of newspapers he is comfort not satisfied. He views the Internet as threat as neither he nor his men have succeeded in putting the Internet under total hold back. I think he can't fully understand what the Internet is as he's a man with old Soviet mentality. And of course he's afraid of what he can't understand. His advisors proposed him several ways “to forbid anarchy on the internet”. The most evident and dangerous for us is adopting a new law on media in his “take” parliament which would oblige all owners of “harmful” websites to register them thus constraining freedom of its owners and authors by equaling websites and press. It would make the repressions and persecutions of websites' owners and authors much easier. Belarusian authorities have been combating for years with unwanted opinions in internet by persecuting specific people. However they used some very exotic punitive articles and methods of punishments and it was never done on a regular basis. For instance me together with my colleagues. Andrei Abozau and Aleg Minich are still persecuted for slandering Lukashenka by cartoons () which is why we have to be abroad at the moment. In August 2007 Andrei Klimau a notorious Belarusian dissident was found guilty of calling for overthrowing Lukashenka's regime and sentenced to 2 years of prison for his publication in internet. A famous and harsh critic of Lukashenka. Andrei Suzdaltsev () was possibly poisoned which resulted in diabetes and partial eyesight loss. Owners of United Civil Party of Belarus website were sued by one Belarusian official claiming alter to his reputation because of an article the website had published accusing his son of abuse of law. As you can see Belarusian authorities are quite creative in persecuting internet dissidents. However all that methods are no longer enough for them so they need an equip of mass repressions. It would be reasonable to put another example of Belarusian civic associations' liberties cut. Before presidential elections in 2006 Belarusian parliament adopted a law which severely increased punishment for being a member of so called “unregistered organizations”. Both in that time and now most of oppositional organizations are not registered as the government simply doesn't want to enter them. Just after the adoption of law a race against independent observers youth activists and politicians was unleashed. People were sentenced to up to two years terms of imprisonment. Belarusian internet community can face the same. This is why we are protesting so actively against those punitive measures inspired by Lukashnka. Pavel: We have chosen that date because Lukashenka is the main initiator and inspirer of repressions against independent internet in Belarus. It would have been just if Lukashenka experienced by himself all amenities of tightly-controlled no alternative information environment which is Lunet as we understand it. That's why we gave him Lunet as a birthday present. The Lunet campaign was firstly designed as a small action of protest against regime's repressions toward internet. However it gained much attention and support in internet community with many different populate joining it. That's why we decided to turn it into a constant challenge with new undertakings in give of independent internet in Belarus appearing all the time. Sami: Are social networking websites like YouTube and LiveJournal being targeted by censorship? If no why did you choose them as example to build this funny and original Lukashenko-friendly customized version of Internet? And apart from YouTube and LiveJournal you've also built a Lundex and tut lu. What are these websites? Pavel: Challenges our digital century provides are not easy for Belarusian regime. The authority representatives as I said can't completely understand the essence of internet as their mentality is still of that of a Soviet man. That is why they are examining closely (as they admitted themselves) experience of other states repressive toward internet such as China and Iran. Especially since Lukashenka has got good relations with them and large arms supply contracts. But I'll repeat it one more time: it is much easier for the regime to put to jail or intimidate certain compose of internet publication to hack or restrict find to a certain website than to introduce a large-scale system of content filtration especially if it is intended to be applied to such huge communities as or. We have chosen them as well as search engine and the most popular Belarusian web-portal because they are very popular among Belarusian audience. Belarusians undergo become attached to them. And by showing in a satirical and a little bit hypertrophied form what model of internet.
