Janis Ian, a brave and talented recording artist (and budding and talented
science fiction writer) has done a terrific interview with the Slashdot
groupmind about her views on the music industry.
Seriously, diversity is something record companies can't afford anymore -
not the majors, at any rate. I'd go to this article, posted at Linux
Journal, which quotes a Newsweet article (July 15,2002) by Steven Levy
saying "So why are the record labels taking such a hard line? My guess is
that it's all about protecting their Internet-challenged business model.
Their profit comes from blockbuster artists. If the industry moved to a
more varied ecology, independent labels and artists would thrive--to the
detriment of the labels, which would have trouble rustling up the rubes to
root for the next Britney. The smoking gun comes from testimony of an
RIAA-backed economist who told the government fee panel that a dramatic
shakeout in Webcasting is "inevitable and desirable because it will bring
about market consolidation." That's really it in a nutshell. "Market
consolidation" means the less artists they have to promote, the less
ultimate dollars they'll spend. The smaller the playlist, the greater the
chance that audiences will buy something from that playlist alone - because
that's all you'll be able to find out there.
