Members Ryan. Posted April 3, 2012 Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 Why are there two ads at the top of my screen? Whatever, that's not important now. - I was at a bar last night celebrating my younger brother's 21st birthday. In the bar is one of those new jukeboxes that allows you to search the internet for basically any song available. I love these jukeboxes because of their amazing feature to pay more to cut in line. I don't like your music? I just pay more money and play my music ahead of yours, which works out great for everyone in the bar because I have the best taste in music in the world. Right? ANYWAY... I don't even know how the jukebox economy works. I'm assuming that royalties are paid to the artist. So when I pay $.50 to play David Bowie's 'Space Oddity" $.25 goes to the jukebox owner and $.25 goes to Mr. Bowie or whoever owns the rights to that song. Fair assumption? I think so. Maybe its wrong. If I was the jukebox company owner I would think to myself... "Self, how can we make more money?" And then the answer would become clear. We allow small-time bands to PAY US to have their music available on our jukeboxes. So The Ruin, Saturn Unleashed, and Dinosaur Feathers are all able to pay $30 per year to have their album available on these jukeboxes. And for $50 per year, not only will the songs be available, but they'll also play during the downtimes when no one is paying for music. Then Ryan can go to the bar, put on his band's music and guage the reaction from patrons. So anyway, what do you think? tl;dr... {censored} you read it.
