CONTENTS OF MUSIC CHOICE'S WRITTEN DIRECT CASE 0 VOLUME I: WITNESS TESTIMONY Music Choice '~ Pursuant to 87 C.F.R. $ 851.4(b)(1) and. the Judges'rders, submits written direct testimony from the following expert and. fact witnesses, ,~ included in Volume I: Music (1) David J. Del Beccaro, the President and Chief Executive OKcer of 0 Choice, presents testimony concerning the business operations ofMusic Choice. He ("PSS") also testi6es concerning the history of the Preexisting Subscription Services royalty rate, including how it was initially set too high based upon an erroneous "PRO estimate of the aggregate musical composition performance royalty rate (the subsequently increased in a Rate") by the original CARP, and how that rate was series of settlements only to avoid. the expense of litigation. Mr. Del Beccaro also explains that the Judges'mposition of a further rate increase in the SDARS II proceeding was based solely upon the assumption of a future channel increase that Music Choice never actually implemented and was therefore (and for other reasons) erroneous. Mx. Del Beccaro then testi6es to various changes in the PSS marketplace that have led to a signi6cant change in Music Choice's business since the time of the SDARS II proceeding, and. demonstrates the impact of the implicit 7.5% rate from the SDARS II determination on Music Choice's business during the next rate period. In particular, addxessing each of the Section 801(b) policy objectives, he demonstrates the adverse impact the implicit 7.5% rate will have on those objectives, and why the change in circumstances since the SDARS II proceeding warrant a reduction in the PSS rate to a rate no higher than 5.6% of revenue. Mr. Del Beccaxo will further testify concerning the lack of any true marketplace value for the Section 112 ephemeral license royalty rate and. the lack of any need. to change the long-established terms of the PSS license. and (2) Damon Williams, the Senior Vice President of Programming Strategy Partnerships at Music Choice, presents testimony demonstrating the various ways in which Music Choice provides its own original, creative content to its residential 0 subscribers, including its unique approach to cuxation of the music channels 0 themselves, as well as various on-screen, social media, and. other visual elements related to the service, which increase subscriber engagement and. increase the promotional impact of the service. Mr. Williams also testi6es speci6cally about that promotional impact, particularly the many ways in which Music Choice increases record. sales and. on-demand streaming, and. promotes artists and genres that are therefore promoting the continued. release of a 0 underserved, by other music services, 0 wider variety of music to the public. 0 Dr. Greeorv Crawford. Ph.D., Professor of Economics, Director of Graduate 0 (3) Studies at the University of Zurich Department of Economics, provides his expert 0 opinion as to the proper rates to be set in this proceeding. After observing the Judges'rior ruling that there is no usable marketplace benchmark for the PSS, he 0 relies upon well-established economic principles to develop an economic framework to determine the likely outcome of a relevant hypothetical marketplace negotiation 0 of a license for the sound. recording performance right between a record. company and a PSS. He uses the Asymmetric Nash Bargaining Framework, examuung the 0 actual marketplace dynamics a8ecting Music Choice and the record. companies and analyzing the factors of agreement pro6ts, threat points and baxgaining power that would be applicable in the hypothetical negotiation. Professor Crawford then quanti6es those inputs using empirical data, including the cuxrent and. short-term projections of future performance ofMusic Choice's business if it were limited to the residential audio service covered by the PSS license. Using this methodology, Professor Crawford. demonstrates that in the relevant hypothetical marketplace negotiation, even with various conservative assumptions such as allocating no value to the promotional impact of Music Choice and allocating signi6cantly less value to Music Choice's bundled video offerings than the value supported by empirical evidence, the PSS rate would most likely be 8.5% of gross revenue, but in any event no higher than 5.6% of revenue. He also considers the Section 801(b)(l) policy objectives and. concludes that, on balance, they indicate that the PSS rate should be set below the high end. ofthe range yielded. by the hypothetical marketplace negotiation.

Because the ephemeral copies made by Music Choice have no independent economic value, Music Choice proposes that the Section 112 ephemeral license fee be included within the performance royalty rate noted. above. Music Choice proposes that no changes be made to the terms and. other regulations applicable to the PSS license. 0 0 0 0 , ~ 0 DATED: October 19„2016 By ,0 Paul M.

  • The Revolution Will Not Be Televised…But It Will Be Streamed”: Spotify, Playlist Curation, and Social Justice Movements
    “THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED…BUT IT WILL BE STREAMED”: SPOTIFY, PLAYLIST CURATION, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE MOVEMENTS Melissa Camp A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Music in the School of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2021 Approved by: Mark Katz Aaron Harcus Jocelyn Neal © 2021 Melissa Camp ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Melissa Camp: “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised…But It Will Be Streamed”: Spotify, Playlist Curation, and Social Justice Movements (Under the direction of Mark Katz) Since its launch in 2008, the Swedish-based audio streaming service Spotify has transformed how consumers experience music. During the same time, Spotify collaborated with social justice activists as a means of philanthropy and brand management. Focusing on two playlists intended to promote the Black Lives Matter movement (2013–) and support protests against the U.S. “Muslim Ban” (2017–2020), this thesis explores how Spotify’s curators and artists navigate the tensions between activism and capitalism as they advocate for social justice. Drawing upon Ramón Grosfoguel’s concept of subversive complicity (2003), I show how artists and curators help promote Spotify’s progressive image and bottom line while utilizing the company’s massive platform to draw attention to the people and causes they care most about by amplifying their messages. iii To Preston Thank you for your support along the way. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first like to thank my thesis advisor, Mark Katz, for his dedication and support throughout the writing process, especially in reading, writing, and being the source of advice, encouragement, and knowledge for the past year.

COVERFEATURE he relationship between Facebook, the music industry, YouTube and video is Tso convoluted you could make a terrible inter-war farce about it. Facebook, as we have seen, loves video. FACE LIFT In April 2016, the company’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg told the F8 conference, “[I]n a decade, video will look like as big of a shift in the way we all share and communicate as mobile has been.” The company has been wooing MCNs, music labels and other media owners to upload native video to the platform. More recently, it signed a deal with Warner Music to use the major’s tracks on its Slideshows video and photo sharing feature. Key to the platform’s move into video has been the launch of live video streaming platform Facebook Live, which opened up to “civilians” earlier this year after initially being available only to celebrity users, as well as the introduction (in September 2015) of support for 360-degree video on the platform. Facebook video and the back drop of YouTube disputes Facebook also loves music and – generally speaking – the music industry loves Facebook in return, with the social network CAN FACEBOOK THRILL THE VIDEO STAR? a key promotional platform for the business. The music industry, meanwhile, loves video, a long-standing relationship that goes back The music industry is currently attacking YouTube over payment rates and the problems to the days of Bob Dylan’s associated with the widening “value gap”.
