So yes, from Sean’s view: digital music is tough business face top 4
labels, it is true. Aslo we can find another sound: "So yes, digital
music is a tough business for aggregators and branded stores, but there
will continue to be pockets of opportunity for innovators that can
offer the consumer and her friends a better and easier way to enjoy
music. But I don’t blame Sean for giving casual games a whirl!"
Yes, in the demand- supply chain of digital music, if we are from
supply, digital music chain, as Sean said, Digital Music is monopolized
by top 4 labels, the top 4 allows some middle men to live in the small
space with the low margin.
And from the demand side, consumers, we can find some new opportunities
which are innovated from some new business model, as Rag listed> And
in fact, 5 year ago, most do’t believe internet service can make money,
and over passing 5 years, most service providers make profit. As
digital music will be on the same way from US$1 or 2 business.
Also, the new wave would be change some rule of IFPI and others, the
would-be result does make the channle of digital music distribution
flat, make musician to meet customers friendly, and make customers to
find their favorite music easily…
And responsing to Sean’s metaphor, we should understand music resource is endless, unlike oil.
