Those users will be restricted to a maximum of 50 on-demand 'requests' per month, and otherwise you're stuck only with the radio options. I strongly believe this is a huge mistake from the record labels, and will drive people to piracy, the precise thing that We7, Spotify etc. should be preventing. Interestingly, I wonder what agreements YouTube/VEVO have in place with the labels, and whether they will be able to continue with their monopoly on 'free' ad-funded music.sxahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174998267103564323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894419880940899498.post-23821027166646696772011-04-24T18:37:11.832+01:002011-04-24T18:37:11.832+01:00I think that's a valid point - I'd forgott...I think that's a valid point - I'd forgotten about those stats when I wrote the article, although it does raise an interesting question as to how many 'streams' should actually be the equivalent of one download ... it's not obvious, and is also different between the likes if 'radio' type streams where the specific tracks are not directly solicited by the user (which explains We7's primary focus to radio-style operation)<br /><br />However I still don't think it discourages new music, as it'll always be up to them whether to use the services or not - but using them can open them up to audiences you might not otherwise be able to easily access, again even more so through users of 'radio' streaming services.sxahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174998267103564323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894419880940899498.post-17796037182241891302011-04-18T19:25:13.786+01:002011-04-18T19:25:13.786+01:00My issue with streaming services is that according...My issue with streaming services is that according to http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2010/how-much-do-music-artists-earn-online/ artists only earn £0.0012 per play from spotify. How does that encourage new music?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378583079488768996noreply@blogger.com
