In 2004 – also vor 10 Jahren – lag der Umsatz der weltweiten Musikwirt- schaft bei 20 Milliarden US$. Online-Musikshops gab es in sechs EU Staaten, darunter auch Österreich, und das digitale Musikangebot umfasste rund eine Million Titel. In 2014 sind mehr als 400 Musikshops online, über 200 davon in der EU. Das jederzeit, von jedem Ort und mit verschiedenen Devices verfüg- bare Angebot liegt aktuell bei 43 Millionen Musiktiteln – und das in allen 28 EU-Staaten.

Im selben Zeitraum sind die Werbeumsätze und Unternehmenswerte von YouTube und ähnlichen Diensten explodiert. Nach eigenen Angaben hat YouTube monatlich mehr als eine Milliarde Unique User und gilt als eine der populärsten Plattformen für den Konsum von Musik. Auch in Österreich geben laut einer GfK-Studie zwei Drittel aller musikinteressierten Internet-User an, dass sie Musik über YouTube beziehen – deutlich mehr als über iTunes, Ama- zon, Spotify, Deezer & Co. Wirtschaftlich führt das zu folgender Verzerrung: Die neuen Streaming- Plattformen, wie etwa Spotify, haben weltweit 40 Millionen zahlende Premium- Abonnenten und weitere hundert Millionen User ihrer werbefinanzierten „Freemium“-Angebote.

  • Theatre in England Journal 2
    Kate Scally ENG 252 12/29/06 Theatre in England Journal 2 Wicked By Stephen Schwartz 12/29/06 As soon as you step onto the street where the musical Wicked is playing, you start to experience the stunning visual effects of the show. The sparkling lights are the first things that catch your eye. The large, neon green sign on the building casts a garish glow on everyone’s face, literally turning each person green. Before audience members even enter the theater, they are exposed to the idea of green people; this makes it easier to sympathize with a non-traditional, green heroine. This effect is just the first in a long line of effects which help to create the visually stunning experience that is Wicked. This “razzle dazzle” aspect begins with the lights outside and continues as you enter the lobby. On one side, a wall of green and pink t-shirts and souvenirs looms, while on the other side the bar sells neon green and pink drinks. I found it amazing that the show’s visual effects begin before the actual show. This seemingly exaggerated use of glitz and glamour fits in with a major theme of the musical—the use of and conceptions surrounding appearances. This theme, a major one for fairy tales, is skillfully employed. Elphaba, also known as the “Wicked Witch of the West” is a green woman whose color foreshadows her eventual rebellion and expulsion from society, while Glinda, known as “Glinda the Good Witch,” appears beautiful, nice, and popular, but in reality is shallow and cowardly.
