Cherry pick all you want. Dropbox and others grew to millions without having a multiple-language site, European headquarters, "Russian connections", etc. My business currently sells to the world with an English website, one terms of service, one VAT, and one business location in a non-English speaking country. We are not the only ones.
- mbesto 13y agoYou can cherry pick all of you want (i.e. your own business). How about Spotify? Why did people in Germany and the UK have to wait years after Sweden already had it (when the technology already existed)? Whereas Rdio in the US was able to tap into 350 million people right off the bat.
- antr 13y agoSpotify's rollout has nothing to do with the country's laws nor regulation, but due to private commercial agreements between parent record labels and countries' OpCos. Blaming a country's laws and regulations, instead of the private commercial/licensing agreements that stifle content rollout is unheard of. You are mixing two very different topics.
- mbesto 13y ago> private commercial/licensing agreements And who do you think enforces commercial licensing agreements?
- antr 13y agoWhy are you making this argument up? Which governments in the world care about Justin Bieber's latest album release dates, distribution and pricing strategy, etc.? There is NO evidence that governments make studios establish a release date, distribution strategy, pricing strategy, etc. This is a barrier created entirely and solely by the music record industry. Wow!, Simply wow! You've tried to make an argument on an issue you have no data for, and now you need to make up stories to justify your believes. Wow!
