Hilary Duff going on a music concert tour
Hilary Duff was born in Houston, Texas on September 28, 1987 and after her mother encouraged her to take an acting class as a child, alongside her older sister, Haylie, both girls won parts in various local theatre productions. At the ages of eight and six, the Duff sisters participated in the ballet The Nutcracker Suite with Columbus Ballet Met in San Antonio. The siblings became more enthusiastic about the idea of acting professionally and eventually relocated to California with their mother. After several years of auditions and meetings, the Duff sisters were cast in several television commercials and shortly after that Hilary got her big break. After her big break on the Disney show Lizzie McGuire, Hilary turned her sights to a music career.
Hilary?s first album was Santa Claus Lane (2002), a collection of Christmas songs that included duets with Lil' Romeo, Christina Milian, and her sister Haylie. The album reached the lower half of the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart and was certified gold.
Hilary's second album and first studio album, Metamorphosis (2003), reached #1 on the U.S. and Canadian charts. It became one of the biggest selling albums of the year in the U.S. and has since gone to sell over 3.7 million copies.
The lead single, "So Yesterday " was a top ten hit in several countries and its music video received heavy airplay on MTV; its follow-up, "Come Clean", became Duff's first top forty U.S. hit and reached the top twenty elsewhere. In late 2003 Hilary embarked on her first concert tour, the Metamorphosis Club Tour. All shows on the tour were sold out, a feat neither Britney Spears nor Christina Aguilera achieved that year.
Hilary co-wrote tracks on her third album, the self-titled Hilary Duff, which she said had an edgier, rock feel than Metamorphosis. It was released on her seventeenth birthday and debuted at number two in the U.S. and at number one in Canada. The album sold over 1.5 million copies in the U.S. in eight months, but its only U.S. single, "Fly", failed to chart on the Hot 100, despite being accompanied by a popular video. "Fly" reached the top forty in Australia, where the album produced a second top forty single, "Someone's Watching over Me?.
Hilary?s fourth album, Most Wanted was released in 2005 and it comprised her favorite tracks from her previous two albums, remixes, and new songs inspired by pop-rock musicians such as The Killers and Muse. The lead single, "Wake Up", became Duff's highest peaking single on the U.S. Hot 100 at the time, and its video received heavy rotation on MTV. The album itself debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and became her third number-one debut in Canada.
For Hilary?s latest album that was released in 2007, Dignity, she co-wrote material with Kara DioGuardi, who co-produced the album with Rhett Lawrence, Richard "Humpty" Vission, Tim & Bob and others. She has been quoted saying that the music on this album is different than anything else she has done in the past. The album has done well-topping the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart-a first for Hilary. The album reached the top five in the U.S. and Canada, the top twenty in Australia and the top forty in the UK. Hilary can be seen on tour in the latter part of 2007 all over the United States.

Competing with Free Music and Movie Downloads: The Digital Rights Management Myth
The media is abuzz with reports of illegal music and movie downloading, peer-to-peer file sharing and the related legal and legislative battles being played out in courts and in Congress. Many of these discussions perpetuate a myth that existing, or soon-to-be developed, digital rights management (DRM) technologies are the key to solving the entertainment industry's piracy woes. As support for this notion, many people cite Apple's successful iTunes music download service. The conventional wisdom is that since iTunes uses DRM and iTunes is successful, then DRM must have been instrumental in that success. The truth is that Apple's DRM technology, called FairPlay, was indeed instrumental in Apple's success, but not because FairPlay prevents pi...
