Chris Anderson, author of The Long Tail: Why the Future of Business is Selling Less of More, mentioned in his blog last week that the only thing heading south in the music is industry is sales of CDs. Even vinyl sales are up! According to Anderson…
“I think most music will soon be free, as artists give away the product as marketing for their performances and licensing, and as a celebrity accelerant that creates more opportunities to make money than just from the sale of a record.”
That certainly is a different way to think of the “music industry.” Sounds good to me. If you haven’t read The Long Tail, do so. For me, it really drove home the impact of our digital age.
