Music has become a disposable item
So says Nicholas Firth, chairman and CEO of BMG Music Publishing, part of Bertelsmann AG. He’s referring to digital music being a ‘traffic builder’, a way of coaxing customers to websites whose primary product isn’t music, concerned that this devalues music and thus affects profitability.
But it’s okay for the same music companies to need debut hits or they drop a new artist. It’s also fine to cosy up to the production companies that make trash like Pop Idol. Glad we got that settled. I can spot your rock from a hundred paces. It’s time you went back there.
