What Is the Price for Music Model?
The Price for Music Model strives to provide artists and music rights holders with a monetary return for music content consumed via the internet, addressing the revenue gap arising from digital content being downloaded via non-legitimate channels. The model provides a wide range of settings that can replicate a large number of scenarios across both physical and digital music sales. Its objective is to stimulate debate by providing stakeholders and commentators with the ability to estimate the financial impact that different services may have on music industry revenues over time.
The default graph is generated using information from industry experts but if you want to change variables, go ahead… and see how your choices affect the model's results..
