MidemNet Blog: Midem is Sixty Days Out, So Much To Think About!

MidemNet 2010 is sixty days out & I can’t wait to be back in Cannes!
2009 has been an amazing year for digital and mobile music, some of the notable events & game-changers, in no particular order:
- Spotify
- Nokia’s ‘Comes With Music’
- Topspin
- Google Search Box initiative
- YouTube/Warner Music detente
- The iMeem fire sale
- The debut of Hello Music
- Ongoing drama with: Pirate Bay’s wind-down, Choruss, Q Trax, ISP Levies, Playlist.com, Michael Robertson & EMI
I look forward to spirited discussion around:
- The future of music as service
- The role of ISP as gate keeper and fee collector
- Artist Development in 2010
- Monetizing the live experience
- Creating new revenue streams
It’s going to be great seeing old friends & making new ones. The integration of MidemNet into Midem will finally join the present and the future of music, it’s time to stop the hand-wringing and winging and get on with it!
See you on the Croisette!
