This Is What the Dying Music Industry Looks Like [Data Point]
Using this graph as the starting point for a conversation about the music industry; I'd just like to say:
You can see why they're mourning the death of physical discs. CD's might've been the most popular artistic medium ever.
There's no fixed distribution costs for digital media though and the cost to advertise a new artist is essentially zero as well. Why not use services like Pandora and Grooveshark as launch platforms for related artists? Hell, use geolocation services to sync up ad dollars with a tour in real-time. Nothing shady just stacking the deck in related markets for people who happen to match a demographic profile for your artist.
It's time to stop fighting a market that WANTS to consume your product but absolutely will not pay (much) (consistently) for it.
