| I'd have thought more people would like this business model.
Don't know the ins and outs of "spotify" specifically but I think it's the way forward.
Certainly, the cd business will never recover. itunes will get less and less too.
The only way the music industry can make any money will be the same way google/youtube etc do it.
Attracting people to a website and selling advertising. Free for the end user but lots of money splashing around from traffic. Hopefully, some business plans will be drawn up whereby artists/producers/labels make as much money as CD era, if not more.
That's my wishful idealistic opinion anyway.
As everything, it's gotta be done right and I'm not convinced spotify has cracked it.
Maybe when itunes is no longer viable, apple could do it and make it work. |
