Matte med RIAA

Postat: 2005-05-20 kl. 00.46

RIAA hävdar att musikbranschen förlorar pengar på nedladdning. RIAA stämmer därför filnedladdare på tusentals dollar. I februari gjorde Boing Boing kopplingen mellan förlorade intäkter för skivbranschen och de nya prenumerationstjänsterna:

If you can download an unlimited number of songs via napster and play them for as long as you continue to subscribe, then the maximum loss the RIAA suffers from a single downloader cannot exceed $15/month no matter how many songs a person downloads.

The Big Picture fortsätter med Yahoo! Music Unlimited och deras $6/månad för prenumerationstjänsten:

It turned out that the claims were greatly exaggerated. Using the concept of substitution, a consumer could replace the free P2P music sourcing by paying Napster $180 per year, or Rhapsody (Real Networks) only $120 per year.

Now Yahoo steps into the fray, and lowers the cost of annual "all-you-can-eat" music consumption to $60 per year. Over the course of a decade, that amounts to $1,800 $1,200 $600.
