While reading this morning I came across this fascinating article about streaming music services… it completely contradicts my thoughts about the topic, but I understand their argument and I think that you will too. Both sides are valid and have arguments that support their positions, making this an extremely interesting subject. Spotify saves kaufen

This is a fascinating read from BBC News. It is targeted at those who share my sentiments in that you are very passionate about the idea of artists earning enough money to release their music regardless of the format. It’s a very apt title “Is streaming technology helping our music business?” I’ve included a link to it towards the end of the piece.

Generally, my review of a subject like this would be rather critical, because , on the surface musicians don’t receive nearly enough royalty from streaming companies (most especially, Spotify’s low cost of $0.007 per streaming) However, when I dug deeper into this issue I came across a silver lining I had not previously thought to consider. The obvious benefit of the internet is its accessibility. Anybody can access anything from anywhere. This is a dream that comes true for musicians… Their music can literally be heard by anybody, anywhere, at any time. This brings me to the aforementioned silver benefit. The reward comes from new fans discovering the band and going to concerts that the band would otherwise have had almost no chance of connecting with the public unless they were big enough to have a regular schedule of touring the country on a regular basis or traveling to the world. The bands see increased money from ticket sales and merchandise sales directly from their music being available for streaming on the internet.

Therefore, I understand the argument that this article trying to make. It does an excellent job of tackling issues from two sides (those who oppose and those who advocate) in order to avoid any form of bias. view publisher site It features interviews from some professionals in the music industry who include in their interviews describe how the industry was not able to cope with the rapid advancement of technology in the beginning (dating all the way back before Napster. Did you remember that?) and have now had the need to “adapt or die,” which I thought was a very interesting take on the subject. The music industry has always been very cut-throat, so that seems right.
