This summer, the other shoe finally dropped on Ticketmaster/Live Nation. After decades of complaints by everybody from Pearl Jam to Zach Bryan (and after several years of increasingly intense Post-Swifty scrutiny), the Justice Department has filed a lawsuit accusing the massive firm of being a monopoly. In it, lawyers argue that the company is built around size and market-share—allowing it to harvest vast profits, prevent the emergence of meaningful competition, and damage the interests of both artists and fans. If the DOJ wins? That monopoly might get broken up. And what happens then is anybody's guess. Given the importance of live performance to the music industry, all of this is…a really big deal. Which is why we were delighted to talk all things restraint-of-trade with Kevin Erickson, the director of the Future of Music Coalition. Crucially, it's not just that any major regulatory move could shatter the long-standing, “convenience-fee”-driven status quo. Turns out, Ticketmaster/Live Nation has its fingers in a LOT of pies. Even the lawsuit itself could go a long way towards revealing the hidden influence that the powerful company has exerted on everything from touring schedules or merch practices to advertising cultures and venue sustainability. Discovery? Can't Wait. Come for platform monopolies slowly strangling your favorite local venue. Stay for…that too, because it's SUPER real. But also for a pragmatic perspective on our musical ecosystem—and the rare chance to change its trajectory for the better. Subscribe to our Newsletter Music: King Tubby - "African Roots"
What do Ticketmaster price gouging and widespread journalism layoffs and have in common? They're both downstream consequences, at least in part, of lax antitrust enforcement. If that sounds obtuse, consider this: antitrust law — the legislation that aims to prevent monopolies from forming and keep business competition healthy — directly impacts how power is being consolidated across American society as a whole. That includes how big a given company is allowed to become, and the types of business tactics it is allowed to use.In a world where artists' livelihoods have become increasingly intertwined with the actions of a handful of giant tech and entertainment companies, antitrust is a useful lens for understanding why so many things feel broken and inequitable. And 2024, for all its flaws, is actually an exciting time to be talking about this. Lina Khan, the 35-year-old legal scholar currently serving as chairwoman of the Federal Trade Commission, is on a mission to change the way we think about, and implement, antitrust law. And since she took office in 2021, she's been updating our understanding of antitrust for the business landscape of the present, expanding beyond a decades-old focus on consumer-facing price to consider how anticompetitive practices also harm workers, communities, diversity, and the environment. Accordingly, she's already brought big cases against some of the tech giants we regularly talk about on this show, including Amazon and Meta. A lot of this stuff impacts creative workers, so we've invited on Kevin Erickson, Director of the Future of Music Coalition, to put together a little primer for us. Founded in 2000, the Future of Music Coalition is a Washington DC-based nonprofit bringing together musicians, artist advocates, technologists, and legal experts dedicated to, as they put it, “supporting a musical ecosystem where artists flourish and are compensated fairly and transparently for their work.” We discuss why many of the problems we ascribe to the actions of private companies are actually policy problems, and why those issues aren't a larger part of the conversation. We also dig into some of the current big policy fights that stand to materially impact the lives of creatives like journalists to musicians — including the Journalism Conservation and Preservation Act and what's happening with Ticketmaster and other brokers right now.Support our independent journalism by becoming a paid subscriber at theculturejournalist.substack.com.

Kevin Erickson, director of the Future of Music Coalition, discusses the DOJ and State AGs' monopolization investigations into Live Nation and how anticompetitive conduct in the industry hurts musicians and fans. Kevin and host Teddy Downey lay out what regulators, enforcers, and policymakers can do to encourage competition, diversity of practice, and creative autonomy in the live music marketplace.
[Enjoy our podcast this week that we share with our sister Maremel Network podcast, Creative Innovators.] Dick Huey claims that his career jumps have been "educated luck." "Because they they are luck. And I'm, I'm I don't ever pretend that I have more information than everybody else does. But I think I'm good at identifying opportunity. So for me, this felt like opportunity. And I jumped at it. And then of course that launched a 25-year career in digital music." And so Dick shares with us his 25-year career, ranging from teaching software applications to getting his first music management client to building his digital music chops at Beggars Group to building Toolshed. He works now on his three-legged stool of interests: helping big picture enhancements of the music business, working with record companies, and engaging in ed tech and new technologies. Guest: Dick Huey, Founder/President, Toolshed Dick Huey moved to New York City in 1997 to work for independent label powerhouse the Beggars Group (XL Recordings, 4AD, Matador Records, Rough Trade. He created and staffed the group's digital media department as global head of digital in the early days of digital music, determined the group's strategic direction, and licensed its groundbreaking catalog of world-class independent music from artists like the Pixies, the Prodigy, Throwing Muses, and many others. Huey launched his NY Hudson Valley-based digital strategy company Toolshed in 2002, long before remote work was in vogue. Toolshed offered an early bespoke label and artist digital marketing, direct music service licensing, and download hosting service that created groundbreaking digital campaigns for Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, Indigo Girls, Ani DiFranco, and Aimee Mann amongst hundreds of hundreds of others. Labels and distributors including Matador Records, Beggars Group, The Orchard, Touch and Go, PIAS, Righteous Babe, and Merge Records were also clients. In 2010, Toolshed expanded into music rights acquisition for consumer brands, media, tech, sports, and entertainment companies. Spotify contracted with Huey to lead its US independent label licensing efforts prior to and during Spotify's US launch in 2011. Red Bull Music Radio, SoundExchange, 8tracks, Digital Rights Agency, Red Mountain Ski Resort, Jaxsta, and Tunecore are all past clients or advisory relationships. Huey is currently a Business Development Consultant to AIMS API, an artificial intelligence music search platform based in the Czech Republic, as well as to Entertainment Intelligence, a high end music analytics platform for direct-license content owners. He is a music license consultant to the US independent record label Merge Records and to stealth cloud radio startup HijackRadio, and an advisor to Techstars accelerator winner Paperchain and Australian personal social media monetization platform OkTY. Outside of the music industry, Huey is a senior teaching assistant at NYU Professor Scott Galloway's two-year old educational sprint startup Section4. Huey regularly TA's online classes of up to 200 students on the topics of Subscription strategy, Brand, Platform, Product, Data Analytics, Growth Innovation (brand association with physical stores), and Storytelling. Several of the classes Huey TA's are taught by Galloway himself. He held a 9-year board seat at SoundExchange representing Matador Records. He is a past Executive Director and board chairman of the Future of Music Coalition, based in Washington DC. He was chairman of the new media committee at the American Association of Music (A2IM) from its earliest days, as well as a consultant to independent entity the Association of Independent Music (AIM). Huey is a USSA-certified downhill ski racing coach and committed biker and mountain biker. He moved from the New York area to the Columbia River Gorge in 2021. He began his career as a musician, then a music manager, and signed and...

Kevin Erickson is the director of the Future of Music Coalition, a Washington DC-based nonprofit supporting a musical ecosystem where artists flourish and are compensated fairly and transparently for their work.FMC works with musicians, composers and industry stakeholders to identify solutions and promote strategies, policies, technologies and educational initiatives that always put artists first while recognizing the role music fans play in shaping the future.In February of this year during a livestream for Blizzcon, Metallica was erroneously censored by Twitch for copyright infringement while performing their own song. This triggered an onslaught of media attention about the nature of censorship, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and Metallica’s decades long fixture in the conversation dating back to they infamous public battle with file-sharing company Napster.In this episode, we sat down with Kevin to get to the bottom of all these issues. We discuss the work being done by the Future of Music Coalition, copyright issues in the modern age, the Twitch controversy, Metallica vs. Napster, clearing up common and pervasive misconceptions and the best ways to support the music you love ethically and responsibly.Fair compensation and transparency for musicians and artists is a deeply personal issue to us as it directly affects our livelihoods. Every day, year in and year out, we see personally and within our community here in Nashville the consequences of how misinformation and apathy surrounding these issues allows large corporations to undervalue and undermine our work. Fascinatingly, Metallica is a thread that has run through these conversations for over two decades. We hope you enjoy this conversation and consider supporting and/or getting involved with The Future of Music Coalition.Make sure to follow the FMC on twitter to keep up with their work, get educated and how you can get involved.TwitterFMC WebsiteIf you think Metal Up Your Podcast has value, please consider taking a brief moment to leave a positive review and subscribe on iTunes here:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/metal-up-your-podcast-all-things-metallica/id1187775077You can further support the show by becoming a patron.

go to 10:24 to skip my long-winded intro hi folks! it's 2021 now, i guess. and all the time i spent inside with anxiety over the past year has made me far more aware of how much i'm rapidly aging into irrelevance... perfect time for my 33 year old self to get back into the Cinderella story of a bunch of middle aged guys with families who hit the big time from the city of Dayton in my home state of Ohio.... Guided By Voices. specifically i focus on what i consider to be the strangest and most unique album of their catalog, 1993's Vampire on Titus. i also go over why i fell out with GBV over the years after my intense fandom of them in my late teens, my issues with the GBV fandom (aka cult), and the (many) things i feel like nuGBV has lost compared to the classic 90's lo-fi albums. here's a list of things referenced in this episode: Nuggets compilation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuggets:_Original_Artyfacts_from_the_First_Psychedelic_Era,_1965%E2%80%931968 info on Record Clubs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_club Scat Records: https://realscatrecords.com/ Closer You Are: The Story of Robert Pollard and Guided By Voices: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/37506059-closer-you-are Self-inflicted Aural Nostalgia podcast episode on Vampire on Titus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h0QXtssTG0 Penny Fractions newsletter: https://www.getrevue.co/profile/pennyfractions Future of Music Coalition: https://twitter.com/future_of_music Liz Pelly: https://lizpelly.com/ AND MY PATREON: http://www.patreon.com/ellaguro all songs used in this episode are by Guided By Voices: "Club Molluska" from Same Place The Fly Got Smashed "Dusted" from the Fast Japanese Spin Cycle EP "Motor Away" from the Crying Your Knife Away live album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSJfeNKLbx0 "No. 2 in the Model Home Series" from Vampire on Titus "Donkey School" from Vampire on Titus "Wondering Boy Poet" from Vampire on Titus "'Wished I Was A Giant'" from Vampire on Titus Tim Heidecker on GBV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfG8nEhNMhk "The Best of Jill Hives" from Earthquake Glue "Expecting Brainchild", "Superior Sector Janitor X", "Dusted", "Marchers in Orange", "Sot", "World of Fun", "Jar of Cardinals" "E-5", "Gleemer (The Deeds of Fertile Jim)", "What About It", and "Non-Absorbing" from Vampire on Titus "Don't Stop Now" from King Shit & The Golden Boys "Superior Sector Janitor X" (again) "The Old Grunt" from Mag Earwhig!

Attorney Rachel Stilwell represents the legal interests of a vast constituency of the Hollywood entertainment industry in the music, film and literary worlds. Her clients also include the non-profit musicFIRST coalition and she serves on the Board of Governors of the Recording Academy’s LA Chapter and the Board of the Future of Music Coalition. Rachel breaks down the issues and explains vital issues affecting music makers and other creators in this modern age and in the future.
Host Zach Freed is joined by Kevin Erickson, Director of the Future of Music Coalition. Zach and Kevin talk about the music industry's role in the growing anti-monopoly movement and Kevin's work at the intersection of music, community organizing and policy advocacy. They also discuss: how increased concentration in the music industry has impacted independent musicians, including how major record labels use their market power to shape the marketplace for everyone else organizing musicians to advocate as a collective on issues like healthcare changing business models in the music industry and the impacts of recent mergers how to build a media ecosystem that can better serve the needs of diverse local music communities At this political moment where we have this growing, collective, all-hands-on-deck, national anti-monopoly moment, I think that there's something really important that the music community can contribute, just because we've got so much direct experience with the impacts of ownership consolidation and monopolies in our own industries. Related Resources Future of Music Coalition Mechanic's Guide to Putting Out Records Transcript Hibba Meraay: Hey, everyone, it's Hibba, ILSR's communications manager, and I have Zach with me here today from our Community-Scaled Economies team. Zach Freed: Hey! Hibba Meraay: So Zach has been involved in producing Building Local Power. You've probably heard his name on the credits of the show, but today, he actually did the interview you're about to hear. Zach Freed: That's right. I interviewed Kevin Erickson, who works at the Future of Music Coalition, which is an organization that helps do political advocacy on behalf of working musicians. We talked a lot about the music industry's connection to our growing anti-monopoly movement. Hibba Meraay: I really enjoyed this interview because it's a little bit outside the bounds of the issue areas we normally work on, like energy or broadband, but still very much related, and really illustrates why concentration is bad across all sectors of the economy. I'm wondering, Zach, what inspired you to do the interview? Did you know that concentration was an issue in the music industry beforehand? Zach Freed: Oh, yeah, definitely. So, aside from, like most people, being a lifelong music fan, I have two working musicians in my family, and most of my friends are musicians. I also help organize shows in DC and did college radio in school. So it's a topic that's always been near and dear to me, and definitely notice trends towards consolidation in the music industry at large. Hibba Meraay: That's great. I think it's really cool to hear what inspired the conversation. I don't have a lot of background, so I learned a lot of new things about the music industry listening to the interview. I was really shocked to hear that there are only three major record labels left today, down from six in 1995. So Kevin explains how they are really the gatekeepers, and they have the ability to use their market power to shape the marketplace for everyone else. It was one of those moments where you know something is important and it's an issue, but I realized, “Wow, this is really bad,” and it was a wake-up call. Zach Freed: Hibba Meraay: Hey, everyone, it's Hibba, ILSR's communications manager, and I have Zach with me here today from our Community-Scaled Economies team. Zach Freed: Hey!

[REPLAY] A 2018 podcast favorite -- Vickie Nauman and Andrea Young joined us to talk about Music 3.0. Vickie had written an article for Rethink Music, a blog by the Berklee College of Music, about Music 3.0. Music 1.0 in this discussion was music sold as physical goods and Music 2.0 was the world of digital music. Vickie spoke about how the Music 2.0 world “bent” the existing ecosystems and infrastructures, trying to make them work for a downloading and early streaming world. Music 3.0 is needing new pipes and systems, and is not just direct-to-fan options. It is rebuilding assumptions on how we market, finance, and create music. New investment models have sprung up, many of which depend on the vast data now available about music use. The “containers” of the size and shape of songs both are changed to fit things like how Spotify measures a song played, and can go away with new modes of distribution. We talked about the effect of the streaming 1% concentration of business and how to make a living down the “long tail.” Andrea talked about this impact on artists, and how different artists will need different types of services, depending on where they are on their growth and development. Passion, data, and connections are all blend into parts of this Music 3.0 world, and people are moving between music and tech to make this happen. Guests: Vickie Nauman, Founder/Owner, CrossBorderWorks; Andrea Young, Co-Founder, Partner and Chief Playlisting Officer, Koral Young Vickie Nauman specializes in digital media and content strategy, the intersection of technology and music, and international business development.

Resources A Learned Hand, LLC United Church of Christ Office of Communication The Leavers by Lisa Ko News Roundup Donald Trump Jr. communicated with Wikileaks Juilia Ioffee reports for the Atlantic that Donald Trump, Jr. exchanged direct messages via Twitter with Wikileaks during the 2016 presidential campaign. The exchange went on at least through July of this year. This is the first connection that Congressional investigators have established between the White House and the notorious leaking site which investigators believe Russia enlisted to interfere with last year's election. Wikileaks warned Trump, Jr. ahead of time about a new website that was to be released showing ties between Trump and Putin. Wikileaks requested favors of Trump, Jr. including access to Trump's tax returns. House Democrats call for an investigation into FCC Pai's ties to Sinclair Top House Democrats including House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Elijah Cummings and Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone are seeking an investigation into FCC Chairman Ajit Pai's ties to Sinclair Broadcasting. Pai is accused of passing rules changes that clear the path for Sinclair's pending acquisition of Tribune Media, which would give the combined company access to some 70% of the U.S. TV market. Harper Neidig reports in the Hill. Qualcomm rejects Broadcom's acquisition bid The Qualcomm Board of Directors has unanimously rejected Broadcom's $103 billion acquisition bid. Qualcomm said that the bid is too low. Harper Neidig reports in the Hill. Missouri's AG opens investigation into Google Prompted by a record, $2.8 billion fine against Google by the European Union, Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley has issued subpoenas to Google as part of a state investigation to determine whether the company prioritizes its own search results over that of its competitors. Harper Neidig reports on this as well in the Hill. Softbank to participate in $1 billion bid for Uber Uber has accepted an investment offer from Asian telecom conglomerate Softbank that is part of a total $1 billion investment being made into the ride-sharing company by a consortium of other companies. This investment will open up the possibility of Softbank acquiring up to $9 billion in equity from the company's shareholders. Softbank also owns a majority stake in Sprint. The deal with Uber is seen, in part, as an opportunity for Uber to expand into Asia as it struggles against stiff competition from Lyft in the U.S. for which Google parent Alphabet is leading a $1 billion investment effort. Ali Breland reports in The Hill. Senate Commerce Committee approves sex trafficking bill The Senate Commerce Committee has approved the Stop Online Sex Trafficking Act, or SESTA, which would limit the exception created by section 230 of the Communications Decency Act which grants immunity to web sites for illegal posts made by their users. The current bill would crack down specifically on websites that facilitate sex trafficking. The current version of the bill is now supported by the Internet Association, as well as Amazon, Facebook, and Google. But Oregon Senator Ron Wyden has placed a public hold on the bill, which will now require it to meet a 60-vote threshold before moving on to the full Senate. DC Circuit Court of Appeals narrows warrants for data from inauguration daty protests The DC Circuit Court of Appeals has blocked the Department of Justice's ability to obtain data from innocent, third party Facebook users who used a page dedicated to organizing a protest against Trump's inauguration. The court is seeking to institute what it terms as "procedural safeguards" to prevent innocent users' data from being sweept up with targeted suspects'. The Court will now be approving all of the DOJs search terms in connection with the investigation into criminal activity that occurred during inauguration protests. Silicon Valley disapproves of GOP tax plan Leading Silicon Valley figures are opposing the GOP tax plan to tax employee stock options once employees receive them. This is opposed to the current tax law providing that only the capital gains tax of stock options are taxable. Some five hundred Silicon Valley leaders from firms such as Facebook, Uber, Y Combinator and others criticized the plan in a letter to Orrin Hatch. Ali Breland reports in the Hill.

Resources Data & Society Privacy, Security and Digital Inequality by Mary Madden (Data & Society, 2017) Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University Overwhelmed: Work, Love and Play When No One Has the Time by Brigid Schulte News Roundup Social media giants tidy up ahead of big day on Hill Ahead of appearances before the House and Senate intelligence Committees this coming Wednesday, social media giants appear to be tidying up. Reddit has announced that it will now ban content from Nazi and alt-right groups. Twitter announced that it will now ban the online media outlets RT and Sputnik. Twitter says the two sites are platforms for Kremlin messaging. Both Facebook and Twitter said that they will be more transparent about who is placing political ads on their platforms. The companies said they will begin to include links and other information enabling users to know who sponsored a political ad. The companies will also vet advertisers to weed out bots. But some Senators, including Virginia's Mark Warner are noting that explicit ads may only represent a tiny percentage of ad spend. Many expenditures, they say, are coming from content that appears to be legit--organic content designed to stoke emotions in favor of a political party. Mark Zuckerberg also upped his pr game last week. The Hill reports that Zuckerberg will be investing $45 million of his own money to address mass incarceration and the housing crisis. Still, however, Facebook is expected to reveal at Wednesday's hearings that the number of views Russia-sponsored ads garnered is closer to 126 million. This is compared to the 10 million views it initially reported. And Politico reports that in August and September of 2016, Twitter made a bizarre change to its privacy policy amidst research into the way in which Russian operatives may have been manipulating the platform. The company updated its privacy privacy to require all users associated with deleted accounts to clear their tracks by deleting the content on their end as well. Also revealed last week by the Senate Intelligence Committee--Twitter actually pitched RT to buy ads during the 2016 campaign season--the problem is that the company didn't disclose it. Congresswoman Maxine Waters is also demanding that Twitter turn over information about Russia-linked accounts that targeted her. The Congresswoman said that she noticed several mysterious accounts tweeting lies about her every time she tweeted something negative about Donald Trump. On top of everything else, Axios and Survey Monkey released a study saying 54% of Americans think the issue of Russian meddling is a "serious issue". However, those results were along party lines with Democrats tending to think the issue is more serious than do Republicans. Apple doesn't want shareholders to tie senior executive diversity to CEO performance Apple is asking the Securities and Exchange Commission to step in and prevent a shareholder proposal from taking effect which would base the assessment of the CEO's performance, in part, on the diversity of the ranks of Apple's senior executive team. The shareholder cohort that is pushing for the measure is said to hold almost $10 billion in Apple shares. Ali Breland reports in the Hill. Georgia wipes out election data after being sued for voting violations On July 3rd, election reform advocates concerned about the impact of Russian influence on the 2016 election filed a lawsuit against the state of Georgia which attempted to force the state to retire its antiquated election technology. And then Kennesaw State University, which runs the state election system, wiped everything on the voting system clean. The FBI is said to have taken a back-up image of the system back in March. But advocates say the State of Georgia must have had something to hide. Frank Bajak reports for the Associated Press on widespread concerns that outdated election systems in voting districts throughout the country may already be compromised by Russian actors and others seeking to undermine the electoral system. Facebook by lawsuit saying the company attempted to evade overtime pay rules Former Facebook employees are suing the company for deliberately evading overtime pay laws by misclassifying them as managers. David Kravets reports in Ars Technica. Uber faces yet another discrimination lawsuit Uber is facing yet another discrimination lawsuit. This time, Latina engineers accuse Uber of not promoting or paying them at a rate that is comparable to their male, white and Asian counterparts. Joel Rosenblatt reports for Bloomberg. U.S. widened surveillance of "homegrown extremists" under Obama U.S. Air Force training slides obtained by a surveillance researcher at Human Rights Watch pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act request show the U.S. expanded its surveillance of suspected "homegrown violent extremists" in August of last year. The guidance states that physical or digital surveillance of such suspects is authorized whether or not they're tied to a foreign terrorist organization. Dustin Volz reports in Reuters. FCC to roll back media ownership rules/Lifeline The FCC announced its agenda for its November 16th Open meeting. Trump's FCC plans to eliminate the media ownership rule that prevents a company from owning a full power TV station and newspaper in the same market. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai also wants to place a cap on Lifeline subsidies for low-income broadband subscribers. That subsidy now stands at $9.95/month. The cap would limit the availability of Lifeline support to new subscribers. Brian Fung reports for the Washington Post and Jon Brodkin reports for Ars Technica. Tech industry releases AI self-regulatory framework The Information Technology Industry Council, which boasts tech giants Facebook, Apple, Google, Microsoft and others as members, released a set of guiding principles around the industry's development of artificial technology. ITI President Dean Garfield says the framework is intended to eliminate harmful bias, prejudice and discrimination from AI algorithms. Will Yakoqicz reports in Inc. SoftBank drops bid for T-Mobile SoftBank is ending its plan to merge its Sprint unit with T-Mobile, according to a report in the Asian Review. This is the second time Softbank has abandoned its effort to acquire T-Mobile. The first time was during the Obama administration when the deal would have been faced with much harsher scrutiny.
Episode #94: Recently, a bill was introduced by Republican congressman Jim Sensenbrenner which calls for the creation of a comprehensive database of compositions and recordings. The “Transparency in Music Licensing and Ownership Act” claims to make things easier for coffee shops, bars and restaurants who want to license music to play in their establishments. To many in the music industry, the bill seems like a wolf in sheep's clothing with the potential cause big problems. On this episode we dig deep into the bill with Future of Music Coalition's Kevin Erickson and attorney Chris Castle.

I waited off to the side, reporting on the Future of Music Coalition’s annual policy summit in Washington, DC. “Would you be willing to come speak to my class sometime?” one of her alma mater professors asked, to which she agreed. Another colleague leaned in for a hug. Things quieted down a bit, and both women graciously agreed to an audio interview. Without further ado, here’s our conversation about the music industry, creativity, women in business, and thoughts on the question: Can the world can be saved?

This podcast episode is a part of a series of features from the Future of Music Policy Summit 2015, covered by Dotted Music’s Josh Urban and Cory Wolff. Keep an eye on the Dotted Music blog and this podcast for more coverage, and read an introduction to today’s WeSpin Recipes conversation from Josh below: The lunch line was bustling in the Hoya food court. The Future of Music Coalition’s 15th Annual Policy Summit was well underway at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, and I was hungry. I had set out to procure a veggie burger. I found it, and the future of music sales. And to think I would have been excited about a side of fries... It happened like this: While waiting in the cue, two guys in Peertracks polo shirts walked up, also foraging for lunch. We got to chatting, and they explained how they were building a way to sell music with blockchain technology (think Bitcoin), and take it directly peer-to-peer. “Like an iTunes killer?” I queried, eagerly asking if they’d do an interview. The result of this conversation is what you’ll hear in a moment. Founder Cédric Cobban took the time to explain how Peertracks is building a system that incentivizes music discovery, gives unprecedented access to fans by existing artists, solves metadata puzzles moving forward, slashes fees on sales by an order of magnitude, and creates brave new worlds of brand-artist collaborations. Best of all, the system they champion isn’t tied to their company. The platform is independent, transparent, and from what I can tell, the Future. Without further ado, here’s my conversation with Cédric.

SF MusicTech Summit X - February 13, 2012 - Special Presentation TOPIC: "Are Musicians Benefiting From Music Tech - Digging Into the Data"" SPEAKERS: Kristin Thomson - Future of Music Coalition, Education Director
In today's episode we wrap up our coverage of last week's Rethink Music conference with a conversation between guest host Chris Bavitz and Kristin Thomson. In addition to her work as community organizer, social policy researcher, entrepreneur and musician, Kristin is a consultant at the Future of Music Coalition, which recently unveiled the findings from its massive Artist Revenue Streams project designed to answer the question, "How are today’s musicians earning money?" After interviewing more than eighty composers and performers, conducting a dozen financial case studies, and distributing an online survey to more than 5,000 musicians, the Future of Music Coalition has identified no less than 42 distinct revenue streams ranging from karaoke licensing to merchandise sales. Friend of the show, Assistant Director of Harvard Law School’s Cyberlaw Clinic, and lecturer at Harvard Law School Chris asked Kristin about her research and its implications for contemporary musicians.

One hallmark of important art, in any medium, is a thoughtful relation with artistic precursors. Every artist reckons with heroes and rivals, influences and nemeses, and the old work becomes a part of the new. In Adam Bradley’s seminal monograph on hip-hop lyrics, Book of Rhymes, legendary MC Mos Def describes his desire to participate in posterity: “I wanted it to be something that was durable. You can listen to all these Jimi records and Miles records and Curtis Mayfield records; I wanted to be able to add something to that conversation.” In the last thirty years, technology has transformed the conversation between past and present musicians: it is now possible to quote a previous work not only note for note, but byte for byte. The turntable and the sampler are the hip-hop artist’s quintessential instruments. The culture of hip-hop bricolage, coupled with intense commercial pressures in the recording industry and an inevitable proliferation of rip-off artists, has created difficult challenges for copyright law and for the concept of licensing. Several cultures must adapt to each other, and often they are doing so in the courtroom. In a study both comprehensively theoretical and rich with the voices of musicians and producers, Kembrew McLeod and Peter DiCola have addressed together both the legal and the cultural implications of digital sampling in the music industry. Creative License: The Law and Culture of Digital Sampling (Duke University Press, 2011), in tandem with related multimedia projects from the Future of Music Coalition, lays out what they have learned and suggests a way forward for the industry in the digital age.
