The cinematic adaptation of J R R Tolkien’s fantasy epic has been greeted with growing critical acclaim since the first film, The Fellowship of the Ring, was released two years ago. seen the number of files being shared fall.The RIAA also suffered a setback yesterday, when an American court ruled that US copyright law did not require internet providers to hand over personal details of subscribers accused of breaking the law.That may force the RIAA to pursue other tactics against those it suspects of sharing files. But without their personal details, it will be difficult to catch them through the courts.. The final instalment of The Lord of the Rings fantasy trilogy has set a record for the biggest-grossing opening night in UK box office history, the film’s publicists said yesterday. The court suggested it would be wrong to ban such software because some people misused it.IFPI said the ruling was “one-sided”, and that it would continue the legal fight elsewhere – hinting that it may follow the lead of the US-based record labels association, the RIAA, which has started suing people it says have made tracks available for copying.But the RIAA has been embarrassed by its action, after it found itself suing, among others, a 12-year-old girl who listened to nursery rhymes, and a 73-year-old who does not own a computer It has, however.

Although that network was closed, others have sprung up in its place, notably KaZaA, which is believed to have more than 17 million users swapping files across the world every day.On Thursday, the Dutch Supreme Court rejected an appeal backed by IFPI, the international record industry association, for the closure of KaZaA and other “peer to peer” networks on the basis that they allow, and take no measures to prevent, unlicensed copying of music.But the court ruled that the creators of the software were not responsible for the way that people chose to use it because it could be used for legal purposes such as sharing uncopyrighted data. That represents a 7.6 per cent fall in the price of a CD since 2000, and comes amid increasing pressures on profit margins as sales dwindle for both big and smaller artists.The release of the report coincided with two rulings against the music industry this week.A Dutch court ruled that KaZaA, one of the biggest file-sharing networks, was legal, and an American court found that methods used by the US industry to detect online piracy were illegal.CD prices have been affected by the widespread use of “file-sharing” networks, beginning in 1999 with Napster. CDs are now selling in Britain for an average of less than £10, the music industry says.
The average price of a single CD for the year ending in September was £9.79, the lowest since detailed data was first compiled in 2000, says the British Phonographic Industry. The Virgin presenter Pete Mitchell said: “The Who are one of the greatest live bands ever. Age doesn’t seem to count – they are still as refreshing and dynamic live as they were 30 years ago, and the Isle of Wight is the perfect setting to witness their performance.”John Entwistle, the bass player, died last year, leaving Roger Daltrey, the lead singer, and Pete Townshend, the guitarist and songwriter, from the original line-up. Keith Moon, the drummer, died in 1978.David Bowie and Stereophonics are also due to play at the event..

More than three decades after they last played the event with a coruscating three-hour set, the Who announced yesterday that they will join the headline acts for next year’s Isle of Wight festival.
Their 1970 show culminated in an orgy of smashed-up equipment and official recriminations and yesterday the band was promising a performance equally “fresh and dynamic”.The Who’s inclusion – they will play on 12 June – was announced by Virgin Radio, which will be broadcasting the three-day festival on 11, 12 and 13 June. I suggest the liquid items are mixed in a small glass and the yolk carefully dropped on to them Finish with a few turns of black pepper Then you can do what you want with it Good luck!Serve hot or warm.. Depending on how you get on with this one, you can try the Prairie hen, which is a whole egg and no ketchup! 2 dashes of vinegar, white wine or malt 1 egg yolk 1tsp Worcestershire sauce 1tsp tomato ketchup Black pepper In my 1930s Savoy cocktail book, the only advice given for mixing this classic is: do not break the yolk of egg. If you don’t like the sound of the oyster, don’t panic – there isn’t one. This is probably much worse and it will either finish you off or restore you.
