Strategic Ad Placement
It came to my attention that there is an interesting placement of advertisements on the 2Convert.net or formerly Flvto page, where you can convert online videos to MP3s, or songs in high quality as promised on site.
Right next to it, advertisement banners for the HIP campaign in Singapore, the fight against illegal file sharing, ironically, AND links to other competitors in the online video converter segment.
Pretty smart combination of advertisements served, I would say!
On another note, it is high time that the Itunes store started selling music here, instead of just applications. As mentioned in my recent post about piracy, there is the current problem of not companies not providing the content that people were willing to pay money for.
Of course I would love to support my favourite artistes, I’m just not too sure how much of this actually acrues to them and not the intermediaries, but that is another issue altogether.
I believe that most of Gen Y have no issues with purchasing their content legally, following the rules officially laid out. Subscription based, pay per download, it really doesn’t matter which model.
Just make it easy and affordable for them us.

I read here and there (Might not be true) that Apple is worried about setting up iTunes music stores in Asia because piracy is very rampant here in the region.
If that were true, it is gonna take a lot to make them change their mind on that.
To me, people are already downloading illegally because there are so few avenues to get music online for us – why not provide us with a legal outlet of purchase and at least earn some from people who are willing to pay for such stuff.
@kris: Interesting…because really, a dollar is a pretty decent amount per song if you ask me, and I would gladly pay to go to one source to get quality music as compared to say, purchasing an entire CD from stores. I agree with you that online piracy is already rampant, so I don’t see how hard it is for them to extend their online operations here just because all the expertise already exists! I guess we can keep waiting!
