Spotify, the music subsciption that has taken over, or will eventual, the distribution of music, is in the process of making a giant leap Stateside/ They are weeks away from linking a deal with Universal Music Group, and once they do, Itunes better wath their greedy core business.
What happens to the music business once you can, in essence, rent any song you at all for a flat fee of , say, $10 a month?
This is about three things
1. Distribution.
2. Storage
3. Money.
Don’t look at me, look at Mary Magpie’s generation, who get used to instant access to every song they ever want, what happens then to the music business?
My business partner, Joseph Franklyn McElroy, is working on a more thorough examination of subscription based music distribution.
