I don’t care whether it is useful, whether I will like it and whether I’ll like my Magic Mouse better. If not then I’ll use it as a paper weight.

A survey of Apple customers by US firm NPD has found that more than a quarter expressed “strong interest in a free cloud-based music option”, with many saying they would pay a subscription fee for such a service.

The Root Investigates Who Really Gets Paid in the Music Industry
During this year’s first six month Swedish recod companies and labels increased sales by 1.7 percent, according to new figures by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. Lisa Cronstedt, spokeswoman at Ifpi in Sweden, said that better legal alternatives, the new “Ipred” copyright law and a good selection of music mainly explain the upswing. “Sweden is still one of the few countries in the world music with a positive sales performance”, she said. Revenues from albums dived 18 percent but still contributes for 64 percent of the record companies sales. Digital music accounts for one-third of the sale, an increase by more than 100 percent. Sales of digitally streamed music increased 242 percent during the period.
Sweden, home and launch country of Spotify, shows how it’s done. Piracy can only be fought with good alternatives.
