Money from Music: Survey Evidence on Musicians’ Revenue and Lessons About Copyright Incentives
MONEY FROM MUSIC: SURVEY EVIDENCE ON MUSICIANS’ REVENUE AND LESSONS ABOUT COPYRIGHT INCENTIVES Peter DiCola* According to the incentive theory of copyright, financial rewards are what the public trades for the production of creative works. To know whether this quid pro quo is working, one needs to know how much the creators are getting from the bargain. Based on an original, nationwide survey of more than 5,000 musicians, this Article addresses one of the key links in the incentive theory’s chain of logic. For most musicians, copyright does not provide much of a direct financial reward for what they are producing currently. The survey findings are instead consistent with a winner-take-all or superstar model in which copyright motivates musicians through the promise of large rewards in the future in the rare event of wide popularity. * Associate Professor, Northwestern University School of Law. A.B. 1998, Princeton University; J.D. 2005, Ph.D. (Economics) 2009, University of Michigan. I am grateful to my colleagues Jean Cook and Kristin Thomson of the Future of Music Coalition. We worked together to develop and analyze the Internet survey of musicians discussed in this Article, and I have benefited greatly from our discussions as a research team. The views expressed in this Article are my own, however, and not those of Jean, Kristin, or Future of Music Coalition.

B160s Networked Streaming Stereo Amplifier
B160S NETWORKED STREAMING STEREO AMPLIFIER The Bluesound Professional B160S networked streaming stereo amplifier is a complete solution for a commercial music installation. The B160S combines a high-quality stereo amplifier with a BluOS enabled network music player. The B160S’s HybridDigital™ amplifier section provides 2 x 60W of power into 8Ω – plenty for most small/medium spaces and thermostatic fan cooling provides for reliable operation in commercial environments. The amplifier technology is highly energy efficient and also has a standby mode consuming only 6W of power. The player within the B160S is based on the established BluOS platform and is capable of playing and distributing content from local storage as well as from a large number of streaming services, including some specifically designed for commercial use, such as SoundMachine. As well as stand-alone use, it is possible to use the B160S in a larger BluOS system allowing for grouping into user-definable groups of whatever size is required with other B160S units and/or any other connected Bluesound Professional players on the network. As well as the amplified outputs, a dedicated balanced line level subwoofer output is provided for connection to an active subwoofer. Access to network control is via ethernet for increased reliability. Balanced analog mic/line (with phantom powering) allows for the connection of a local source. A USB input further adds to the capability of the system by provid- ing replay of files stored on connected drives. Built-in DSP allows for equalization as well as other audio processing. Control of the system can be accomplished by any Windows/Mac computer as well as iOS/Android phones or tablets and the Bluesound Professional CP100W wall mount controller. -
The Music Industry in the Social Networking Era
THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IN THE SOCIAL NETWORKING ERA By Xi Yue A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Telecommunication, Information Studies and Media 2011 Abstract THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IN THE SOCIAL NETWORKING ERA By Xi Yue Music has long been a pillar of profit in the entertainment industry, and an indispensable part in many people’s daily lives around the world. The emergence of digital music and Internet file sharing, spawned by rapid advancement in information and communication technologies (ICT), has had a huge impact on the industry. Music sales in the U.S., the largest national market in the world, were cut in half over the past decade. After a quick look back at the pre-digital music market, this thesis provides an overview of the music industry in the digital era. The thesis continues with an exploration of three motivating questions that look at social networking sites as a possible major outlet and platform for musical artists and labels. A case study of a new social networking music service is presented and, in conclusion, thoughts on a general strategy for the digital music industry are presented.
