Ars Technica Article on Online Music Sale Business Ideas


Recommended Posts

This is an interesting article that popped up last night or this morning:

 

http://arstechnica.com/media/news/2009/08/uks-youth-would-pay-for-all-you-can-eat-music-downloads.ars

 

The comments section is more interesting than the article, including reasons why the idea of "buffet style" subscriptions probably won't work so well.

 

(plus the article has some stock photo of an attractive woman, so what more do you NEED??? :thu:)

I agree with that article. It seems to point out what music consumers are seeking the most, which is a fair price based on what they are getting. This would actually translate to downloads giving royalties to the artist, which could be implemented to track how many times a file is downloaded. That's definitely a step forward in embracing new technology.

 

Another way to bring this concept into the physical market is to have the release sold on custom printed USB drives, like the ones I mentioned in this post.
