I think jingles sell better than their much over-used alternative - the licensed hit song. Jingles are written directly for the ad and, to me, tend to create better campaigns. Sidebar: Example of licensed hit song in advertising - This morning I heard Chrissie Hynde's I'm Special in an ad for the new Blackberry tablet. I written about why I don't like hit songs in advertising here. [...] [...] Quirky New TV Jingles Aimed at Young Women I'm a big fan of the commercial jingle as a method of advertising.

]]> Comment on Information Piracy and the Bottom Line by John Bickerton http://www.uniquetracks.com/blog/intellectual-property/information-piracy-and-the-bottom-line/comment-page-1/#comment-6605 John Bickerton Thu, 10 Feb 2011 20:23:41 +0000 http://www.uniquetracks.com/blog/?p=624#comment-6605 I think the argument would be that 17% income is lost to <b>illegal </b>downloads. Therefore the channel - Internet downloads - though not one that comprises 100% of major media companies income - this new channel is taking 17% of the business from their other established channels (theater, DVD, rental, their own budding download businesses). In other words it's 17% lost sales regardless of channel. The other argument, that piracy actually helps media companies, is, to me, just a rationalization by those that take part in it. It's like saying - "I stole a new TV from Walmart but then I showed all of my friends the new TV and they all thought it was cool and wanted one too. I'm helping the TV companies!" Well, tell that to the judge. If you want to know if media companies think piracy is helpful, give them a choice. A world with media piracy and a world without. Which do you think they would choose?
