Entitled &#8220;Fair Music:  Transparency and Money Flows in the Music Industry,&#8221; the report is the  culmination of a year-long examination of the $45 billion global music  business, and explores the underlying challenges within the current  compensation structure while proposing solutions to improve licensing,  revenue transparency, and cash flow for musicians.  <!--more-->  <br \/> With streaming services becoming the dominant means of listening, the  flow of money from end users consuming music to creators continues to be  a huge mystery. Our study exposes current inefficiencies within the  music business, including the millions of dollars that goes  undistributed to rightful creators while recommending solutions, like  implementing the adoption of existing technologies to power the  back-end, to increase transparency.<\/p>\n<p> We&#8217;ve already received some powerful feedback from industry influencers,  recording artists and those with a stake in the industry &#8220;The Rethink  Music\/Berklee[ICE] study is a thing of beauty&#8230; and much needed,&#8221; said  recording artist David Byrne. &#8220;The music business is notoriously  complicated, but they have presented their findings in a clear manner  that anyone can understand- though it&#8217;s still not simple! The picture  the study paints is spot on and fairly devastating- as it should be.  It&#8217;s essential reading- and given the lack of vested interests at work  it should be explosive and wide ranging in its impact. The  recommendations give one hope- that there is indeed a way for this  industry to flourish and benefit everyone involved.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The timing, findings and recommendations of this report are important.  Lawmakers both in Europe and North America should take note as they look  to promote and foster the interests of creators in the digital age,  shielding them from the practices of major rightsholder corporations who  distort the music market for their own gain. The mistakes of the post  Napster era should not be allowed to roll on, to the detriment of many  and the benefit of few,&#8221; stated Brian Message, co-manager, of Nick Cave  &amp; The Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey, and Radiohead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normal\">Source: Berklee<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rethink Music, an initiative of BerkleeICE, released an in-depth study focused on promoting fairness and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5411"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5411\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5411"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
