Comments on: Spotify – a Swedish “iTunes 2.0″? http://www.hjelmtorp.com/daniel/2009/02/03/spotify-a-swedish-itunes-20/ Games, New Media & Technology, Marketing and Entertainment Tue, 07 Feb 2012 12:01:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Big man http://www.hjelmtorp.com/daniel/2009/02/03/spotify-a-swedish-itunes-20/#comment-561 Big man Tue, 03 Feb 2009 22:14:57 +0000 http://hjelmtorp.com/daniel/?p=673#comment-561 Right on the spot, with the forced reduction of content happening on Spotify now your observations are right. Really like this quote: "Put lawyers last in the boat", I´ve been around for a while but haven´t heard that before. But what if the lawyer is also the MD or head of Digital New Business Development Make More Money" department? Always found it kind of strange that when the cd explosion happened all music nerds opened up record/cd stores and sold a huge amount of records to joy for all labels, publishers, artists etc.. But now when the mp3 explosion is here, why is no-one open up their own music nerd selling mp3 shop? Every student who has a powerful PC/Server with a 200:-/month internet shop shopuld get deals with all labels to sell AND MARKET HIS NERD MUSIC FAVOURITES. Why isn´t this happening? Don´t we in the business want more sales? Or do we just want the kind of sales where we own all consumers and we can control 100%? How do we go forward, we need the support of the music fan out there, everybody talks about music recommendation as the next big thing but that is just another minor tool. The future is if everybody who´s into to music can buy, sell and trade, AND PAY monthly selling bills to content owners, 24/7 to any other similar music fan he can find. With labels, publishers, artists, songwriters, musicians getting paid through an easy and smooth collection system... It´s incredible that our music industry doesn´t use this huge amount of free sales force we have out there in all music lovers, give them a deal and they jump on it. Maybe my grandchildren will see that. Right on the spot, with the forced reduction of content happening on Spotify now your observations are right.
