Early on, we recognized the impact that the internet would have on traditional music business models. Yet where some saw only disruption, we F also saw opportunity. Historically, relatively few artists had a chance to be heard. In most cases, musicians had to sign away their copyrights to even have a shot at reaching listeners. Widespread consolidation in the broadcast industry all but extinguished opportunities for local, independent and niche artists. Major record labels kept a tight hold on distribution, with little room for independents. Manufacturing costs and limited retail space meant that many albums had impossibly short shelf lives. The internet changed everything. With commercial radio play and widescale distribution out of reach, many artists embraced the web. The internet’s open structures meant that they could compete right alongside the biggest companies — an unprecedented development in music history. The internet ushered in an era of connectivity, enhancing participation and amplifying voices. It also transformed how music is acquired. The road to a legitimate digital music marketplace has been bumpy, but the scenery is starting to get good. A growing number of sites and services serve up a vast array of music, while compensating creators and rightsholders. Web radio outlets like Pandora and Slacker customize to listener preference, accelerating music discovery.
