I'm glad someone's making money.:( Anyway, what was interesting is that pop classic artist like Adele still makes the bulk of her revenue from physical sales. Where as an alternative artis like Goyte makes his money in downloads. Two different marketing cultures for two different artists.

"There has long been three opinions about how to beat piracy; through legislation and enforcement, through better legal services, or both. Although piracy continues to exist as numerous new music services have launched, there’s no doubt consumers have far better options (free-of-charge streaming, DRM-free downloads) than they had just a few years ago."

I like how Netflix is trying to help the problem. Makes me think of Amanda Palmer and her question, "How do we LET people pay for music, not MAKE them." Piracy doesn't drop just through access to legal entertainment options. Netflix has two things going for it: a very wide reach and a best-of-class service. The company had 36.3 million streaming subscribers at the end of March, an increase of nearly 10 million subscribers in 12 months, and operates in 40 countries. And it is arguably the best streaming service and at $8 per month is the best value on the market. Popularity, quality and value go a long way in beating piracy. Netflix’s chief content officer says “BitTorrent traffic drops as the Netflix traffic grows” Delete the scoop?

Spotify is facing a huge challenge in making enough money from its subscribers to overcome the costs of its ad-funded free music service, according to report from Enders Analysis. The research firm, taking a closer look at Spotify’s potential path to profitability, highlights that Spotify generates a healthy sum selling monthly subscriptions, pulling in gross profits of USD76m last year. However, it spent almost the same sums offering free music as a marketing tool to get users hooked on the service and then convert them to paying. Via midem Delete the scoop?
