So (even if I do not buy the thing semaphore) it is probable that tomorrow will bring an announcement from Apple have finally reached an agreement with Apple Records, EMI, Apple Corps or somebody and will now be offering the Beatles catalog on iTunes. It's beautiful, but why we should care?
The exclusion of the Beatles MP3 is emblematic of resistance industry record against the manner in which the Beatles discography modern distribution methods will be available should be telling. This is a situation in which labels and distributors have millions of game sales, and although to be fair Beatles records sell very well without the benefit of legal downloads in the last decade.The authority must know that accepting MP3 distribution, changing the pivot.Mais far?
Details of the transaction is likely to be leak out in the coming weeks. negotiations could underway since then right until the last week, if the WSJ source is correct.I doubt Apple announcement tomorrow will go beyond basic "favorite band in the world." "Now on iTunes."-with links to albums, additional documents and thus suite.Ils probably had a presentation ready to go, high-res artwork and any special pages and expect to pull the trigger for a few years. Each week, it is the market autour holiday period is another week, everyone involved gets to print money.
What is down? That promotes the terms? Which was, really?Balance of power has changed considerably, and it is conceivable that the other party could have had fall on the other .Apple, after all, is happy without the Beatles, being by far the market leader and can set his years of terms, there is expected for the other guys to come. Apple Records, however, could easily offer an exclusive to Amazon or similar or same established a "Beatles Store owner who could be resented by all but probably very popular. Overall, I think that the balance of power lies with labels in this case, because the demand is there and iTunes is simply a way to meet it.
On this note, and then, I wonder what the conditions were fixed? And I wonder where Apple, completes the housing and the capitulation begins, remote sensing has drawn the line? For example, I doubt they accept all constraints as the Pink Floyd tried to drop on their discography.But Apple could not have been too picky on exclusivity, I guess, because ultimately, this digital deployment of the Beatles will be a global business, Apple has a seat at the table, but not at t

Then why we care?Because it is one last time that you'll see position recording industry power .c ' is like seeing a stately dodo in action for one last time.The obstinacy which led to do things the same way since the 1950s (there are likely drives that have been in print as long in the same way as the products sold) finally works of steam.
The last barrier between the old and new distribution are beginning to be dissolved, and the staunchest opponents (in this case, the Beatles discography officials) are forced to act .donc while dissections of the transaction carried out by the industry lawyers, agents, and musicians there, the acquired advantages will now be eroded in time; the struggle for power distribution requires the obstructionists and inefficiency and how that will go, it is not known.
This is, of course, assuming that this announcement comes tomorrow as prévu.Si, sorry to have squandered your temps.Je am the Reposter in a year when it actually happens.
