The Music Industry and the Digital Revolution
Economist Films, 2016
Aperçu
Record labels’ ownership of artists’ music rights is akin to a bank owning your house after you’ve repaid your mortgage.
Recommendation
No industry is immune to paradigm-shifting disruption. To examine the changes that technology has inflicted on the music industry, Economist Films zeroes in on a medley of case studies that collectively provide a colorful overall picture. It concludes that to survive the subsequent upheaval, industry players must welcome the opportunities – rather than ward off the threats – that radical disruption begets. getAbstract recommends this vibrant video to artists and musicians, as well as to leaders across all industries who need a reminder of the importance of adapting.
