Their days are numbered, but there is still time to save the cheetah. because humans are hunting and killing cheetahs. The website of the Afiican Wildlife Foundation states, "Cheetahs tend to encounter conflict with farmers when loss of their natural prey leads them to allack livestock; and farmers kill them, as pests, in retaliation." Since the cheetahs are losing prey (because humans are destroying their habitats), they have no choice but to hunt the farmers' livestock. Then, becar¡se of this, the farmers kill the cheetahs, using guns and traps. It is like cause and effect. The farmers are af,fecting themselves by destroying the cheetahs' habitat, but in return, the farmers decide to kill the cheetahs. In conclusion, iheetahs are in great danger.

  • New Entry of Record Labels in the Music Industry
    Start Me Up: New Entry of Record Labels in the Music Industry Master Thesis MSc Business Administration Management and Entrepreneurship in the Creative Industries Faculty of Economics and Business, Amsterdam Business School Myra Alice Wilhelmina Ruers - 11903929 Supervisor: Dr. M. Piazzai 21st of June 2018 Statement of Originality This document is written by Student Myra Ruers, who declares to take full responsibility for the contents of this document. I declare that the text and the work presented in this document is original and that no sources other than those mentioned in the text and its references have been used in creating it. The Faculty of Economics and Business is responsible solely for the supervision of completion of the work, not for the contents. 2 Abstract The music industry is extremely vibrant, diverse, and inherently uncertain. Record labels are the main intermediaries in this industry, facilitating the connection between the creative input from musicians and the demand from the consumers. Due to many technological advancements, the barriers to entry have decreased significantly, hence making it easier to enter this industry as a new record label. Additionally, strategic integration options allow existing firms to start new ventures by acquiring or initiating subsidiaries. This research focuses on the multiple modes through which new entry can be commenced. These entry modes all have their own characteristics and consequences for the configurations of the industry. The likelihood of entry, the subsequent performance of new record labels, and the effects on the diversity of the output are the main topics that are explored. In this study, databases storing longitudinal information on musical releases are used to compile a dataset with the necessary information on new record labels.

  • Social Software for Music
    FACULDADE DE ENGENHARIA DA UNIVERSIDADE DO PORTO Social Software for Music Cláudio Miguel Teixeira da Costa Project Report Master in Informatics and Computation Engineering Supervisor: Ademar Aguiar (PhD) July 2009 Social Software for Music Cláudio Miguel Teixeira da Costa Project Report Master in Informatics and Computer Engineering Approved in public examination by the committee: Chair: António Lucas Soares (FEUP / PhD) ____________________________________________________ External Examiner: António Rito Silva (IST / PhD) Internal Examiner: Ademar Aguiar (FEUP / PhD) 31st July 2009 Abstract The work presented in this report refers to the project “Social Software for Music”, developed in cooperation with INESC Porto and Palco Principal. The project had a duration of 4 months (between March and June 2009) and has as goal to improve Palco Principal, a social software platform focused in the music industry. After a study of Palco's platform, as well as of the several other platforms existing, it was possible to understand the needs and opportunities of Palco Principal, in order to level and even excel its competitors. From this study, three main areas of focus were elected: music recommendation, music classification and event management. A brief analysis on the context of this systems is made, from the definition and applications of social software to the context of the music industry and the Music Information Research field of study. Several aspects of music recommendation and classification are studied, as well as their applications and associated issues. Also a study of the existing recommendation techniques is developed, along with the metrics used to evaluate their success. We then try to understand how music classification is made and we explore some novel forms of classification, apart from the traditional genre categorization: acoustic fingerprinting and mood classification.

  • The Slow Death of Everett True: a Metacriticism
    The slow death of Everett True: A metacriticism Jeremy Thackray A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2016 1 Abstract This thesis problematises and investigates the role of the popular music critic in Web 2.0 environments. It does so through an act of metacriticism grounded in my experience as an internationally successful popular music critic for major print publications including NME, Rolling Stone, and Melody Maker. The reflective aspect of the metacriticism is triangulated through interviews with other notable music critics, through a dialectical approach to role definition grounded in the literature, and through the ongoing experiment of Collapse Board, a music blogging site I set up to experience the new environment from the “inside”. Popular music critics have customarily been seen as gatekeepers of ‘cool’ and arbiters of taste. The industrial structure of print allowed critics to earn a living from their craft. The print environment was defined by limited outlets and large readerships with limited access to information. In that environment popular music criticism helped mould the ways popular music was received, consumed, and contextualised. This project asks whether the same holds true in Web 2.0 environments in which audiences have access to the same sources of information through which critics formerly derived their knowledge, authority, and influence. The thesis concludes that there are four major roles of relevance to the critic in the new media environments: bespoke criticism, music critic as fan, music criticism as entertainment, and the music critic as ‘firestarter’.
