About this item:
"Playing a New Tune: The Music Industry s D-I-Y Era" examines the
changing value chain in the music industry as it has migrated to the
Internet, looks at the state of the most significant online alliances /
initiatives, and charts the M&A and venture-fund activity have
helped shape the industry over the past few years. Among the
highlights: Illegal downloads could be costing the music industry $10
billion - - the very amount by which the global industry has declined
since 1999; entrepreneurial artists have more opportunities than ever
to make it without the backing of a label; transaction activity in the
music industry has been robust from 2006-08, with over 150 deals valued
at $11.2 billion; and, while the music industry is still searching for
a business model as the Internet has cannibalized CD sales, the pace of
innovation and sense the industry has come close to bottoming makes it
seemingly safer for investment.
