making money with music when the copy is 'free
DESCRIPTION
So these were some of the topics I talked about: 1) What is this new framework for the music industry - which facts and trends do we need to consider? 2) What are the key value shifts (pricing, and access versus copy), and what do they mean? 3) Why we need that 'new social contract' and thereby legalize digital music (and the discussion of the proposed digital music license) 4) The new logic of bundled access, embodiment and experience, and the need for a new 'pool of money' (to quote Jim Griffin) 5) The irreversible shift in the perception of 'copies' of content 6) Future revenues based on Attention 7) Why the future is not in selling what is abundant but what is scarce 8) Why content creators and rights-holders do not compete with free ... and much more fun stuff;) EnjoyTRANSCRIPT

We must urgently divorce ourselves from the old shapes of music delivery, and from looking at the distribution of music as the
most important money maker.
“A new Social Contract”

If distribution is indeed uncontrollable we will need
to legalize, bundle and integrate it - all else will fail

proposal by the rights-holders, or legislation that legalizes and monetizes the use of Music on
the Internet.
