The Freakonomics blog recently ran an interesting debate on the future of the music industry. The consensus seems to be that the “industry” is resisting rather than embracing the long tail, and that independent artists are exploiting it to good effect.
Proposed solutions have ranged form advertising supported services, to subscriptions, to low cost highly efficient transactional services (my favourite) as the means of perpetuating the biz. Well worth a read for all of us in the emedia world.
