Description
The music industry has undergone numerous transformations over the last century, with each technological advance disrupting its character in profound ways. This book tells a new story about the history of the music business, focusing on ten key changes that have shaped it over time. From early phonographs to streaming video, each format has brought about significant shifts in creativity, consumer behavior, economics, and law. The authors, veteran music industry professionals Howie Singer and Bill Rosenblatt, identify a clear pattern in these changes, which they term "the 6 Cs": cutting edge technology, channels of distribution, creators, consumers, cash, and rights. By examining each of these formats through this framework, the book provides insight into how disparate innovations have disrupted and transformed the music business in each era.
