Het zal me benieuwen hoeveel er qua rechten (ping ping) uiteindelijk naar de songwriters en de uitvoerende artiesten / muzikanten zal gaan... Hoe geweldig de streaming services e.d. ook zijn het werkt de devaluatie en de ondergang van de (kwaliteits) muziekindustrie nog meer in de hand. Maar... alles beter dan het 'in massa' illegaal downloaden. Delete the scoop?

"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?
