All the Major Labels (ex artist hemorrhaging EMI) have signed a deal with Myspace to elevate MySpace Music into a joint platform to share their entire catalogs online. Yet again, another attack against Apple’s dominance in the digital music realm (they just surpassed WalMart in total music sales).
Still looks like too little, too late. Even Rick Rubin announced that “Myspace is dead”. Throwing money at a foregone conclusion doesn’t seem like it will spark results. Why are there so few people at the major labels invested in learning about the future of consumer behavior. Everything seems so set on now instead of looking towards what’s next. Isn’t that what music is supposed to be – an interpretation of what is happening now but how it can all change?
