Music industry must embrace technology and change
Apr 28, 2012 News
In the late 90′s MP3s was widely used all over the Internet thanks to online services such as and as Napster. These services facilitate the distribution of such files (peer to peer), and therefore, such services were also part of copyright infringement. However, although such services due to court orders were closed, MP3s are still around and the music industry is still claim that they are at a loss, or better lose a lot of money. Before we look on this topic and try whether MP3s right or wrong, starting with a look at some facts:
June 2009 to June 2010, Lady Gaga approximately $62 million. Beyonce and Britney Spears made $ 86 million and US$ 64 million in the year 2010. Madonna has much better in 2010, $ 138 million. U2, are usually courtesy of a massive world tour in $311 million in the gross income. Lucrative goods sales, ample radio play and a steady-selling back catalog also earned more than $ 130 million. There are many other artists who joined dollars in the year 2010 of the multi-million sales, how cold game, black eyed peas, Bruce Springsteen, Akon, Diddy and the list goes on.
Apart from the money that must make these artists, we also look what, earn recording labels. I found a good number of reports that show that the recording labels usually up to 70% of income, food artist with less than 20% hard earned money which make it clear, in my research. Lets face facts, artistry is no easy life, as we can see from “Amy Winehouse;” Only the good die young “.” So technically, Lady Gaga earns record label of approximately $ 43.4 million in only this artist. This is certainly a lot of money and make more when I was in a week!
Although millions are still easy labels are in the inclusion of bank accounts, cast, they are still constantly whining and attempt, as many people as possible before the judge. Their lame excuse is that most of the revenue from touring were generated, and other advertising is about selling records. Records, unlike before the sale no large income is more, both for the labels and artists. That would be a fact, but would it not be better if the record in the world today fit and such embrace labels? How about’s try to find a way, as the situation will benefit? Life is not easy my friend. Internet changes the world, the way such as, the we the way we think companies, the way we do things, the the and way, that we are dealing with. Like everything, what is around us, like any other company it’s time that the recording labels waking from their apathy and change the way how they do business. What works is not now in the late 1980s.
Most importantly of all, data set, see the labels should that thanks to MP3s, and more people learn about their artists and listen to their music. So it could be as a free marketing campaign for them to work. Most people cannot afford, or are not ready, new records to buy, but ready to go to concerts they are, know if those who is in the city, because a socializing a concert and entertaining event. Before the era of the MP3 to a certain artist or band know, had to listen to music on the radio, and if you even if they were in town for a concert, you would not from him or her, not even to go the trouble. Although it is likely to generate MP3 files for the artists, with the “branding”, that if you know someone in town for a concert, about them and go for the concert.
Speaking from personal experience, I was followed by various musical genres and scenes for over 15 years and was always discover new bands and musicians. Before the era of the MP3, I would find the record store, see what is new, buy records, and then, if I like the record, if I’m him stuck with, or I try to sell it. This will not really help the situation, and why I very carefully if you new records to buy was so that it difficult to discover new bands. Today it is a different situation, and I am trying to make to make the most of it. I download often MP3s of bands, which I’ve never heard. If I don’t like it, I just delete, and if I find it, I buy the record of my record collection added. Thanks MP3s today it is much easier and faster, new talent to be discovered, and because there is no risk, I buy more records. MP3 or not, I still think that if you are the music, you have to buy it. It is different if you the data set, and you can smell and feel the work of art. As Mauro Berchi (main force behind Eibon records) says, “If a white elephant or a ship, the unknown seas I feel sails, still that a good record has a physical form only a molecule of water in the oceans of bytes it must have retained.”
And that’s just me. There are many others out there that do the same. I started also my own blog, where I can find on music records and helped me to discover new bands. If it was not MP3s, it would be much more difficult to interact with new talents and also more expensive.
So start what to record labels, investment in creative minds that can take advantage of this situation really and more money from recruiting? I’m sure that they have the budget, thanks to Lady Gaga! Instead of just complaining about the “some” make, millions of you are, try them all to court, and try as much money as you can imagine your customers and the artists themselves, are a bit more pro-active and change embrace, as do other companies suck. Now you seem to be the recording labels on a suicide mission.
