Wrote a "persuasive speech" in college a decade ago about how to solve the problem the music industry was facing (piracy). I proposed an all you can listen subscription service, at a price point of say $10. Saying the record labels would work together to make this happen. My professor nearly laughed me out of the room when I proposed my thesis for the speech. I presented the speech anyways and got an A.
Today, Spotify is thriving as a company and the major record labels have their hands in it. Sure, they have some work to do to figure out how to become profitable and sustainable, but they've come a long way.
- lucb1e 9y agoCould you link the paper? Reading a future prediction/expectation with such accuracy should be interesting.
- twostorytower 9y agoHey sorry I just saw this reply. Unfortunately, I can't find the paper, as it was written in word and pre-dates my days of using Dropbox (edit: it pre-dates Dropbox period). However, I was able to find the email thread with my professor, since Gmail is forever. I had to redact some personal information. https://imgur.com/UeSzTal https://imgur.com/UeSzTal
