CMJ reports: The Federal Trade Commission
(FTC) filed a lawsuit on June 5 against several operators of the online
music retailer BurnLounge.com, claiming that the website, which allows
subscription-paying members to sell albums from personalized profiles called
"Burnpages" in exchange for a small commission, is a pyramid scheme. The
recent move by the FTC comes on the heels of a year-long investigation
by the state of South Carolina into BurnLounge's questionable business
practices. A majority of the site's profits, according to the FTC, stem
not from sales of digital music, but from exorbitant subscription fees,
which range from $30 for a basic membership to $600 for "Mogul" status
and selling privileges.[see full story for more]- Click

TuneLab reports: In a recent interview with
Billboard, Tool guitarist Adam Jones stated that the band is "tossing around
ideas for a band movie". Jones said,
"We all have ideas about it. If I had my

and special effects we could throw at it. I think some of the other guys
would like to do pockets of all of that or something that's live or we're
playing. It's just talk right now."[see full story for more]-
