I’m sure they are very frustrated when I explain to them, in excruciating detail, how impossible it is to know such a thing. [...] Now I sort of think of the whole engine as a special genetically engineered cow who eats music and poops money - I have no idea what’s going on in its gut, and I have the luxury of not really caring that much about the particulars. fjordaan Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:06:06 GMT http://www.furia.com/page.cgi?type=twas&id=twas0503 fjordaan Sun, 15 Jan 2006 20:19:14 GMT http://www.nitf.org/ fjordaan Sat, 21 Apr 2001 12:08:34 GMT http://www.fistfulayen.com/blog/?p=147 Which is where I came in. I have a pretty optimistic view of the future of media. I (like David Byrne) think what’s happening in media today makes sense, is good for people who make music and people who love music (if not for people who built oligopolies on selling music on plastic discs for $18) and is good for culture in general. I wanted to give a presentation which explained where this optimism came from, the forces behind it, where I saw the opportunity is/isn’t, and encouraged the music industry to do the right thing with respect to building platforms for monetization and leveraging standards. It was pretty lofty goal in its own right, but worth a shot. fjordaan Thu, 10 Jan 2008 13:09:47 GMT http://www.negativland.com/albini.html fjordaan Mon, 23 Aug 2004 22:06:43 GMT http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/03/27/the-sorry-state-of-music-startups/ Online streaming music startups are in one very sorry place. On demand streaming rates range from .4 cents to 1 cent per stream - this is what the startups pay to the labels every time they play a song for a user. Add bandwidth and storage costs on top of that, which aren’t trivial for services that want to stream music quickly on demand. The result is hundreds of millions of dollars flowing from venture funds to startups to labels. Little of it makes its way to artists, and advertising revenues only cover a tiny portion of the fees. fjordaan Mon, 30 Mar 2009 11:38:19 GMT http://www.harvard-magazine.com/on-line/050465.html fjordaan Wed, 29 Dec 2004 19:34:32 GMT
