Où l’on reparle d’Allofmp3, et où l’on apprend que le site est deuxième vendeur, derrière iTunes, avec 14% du marché (sondage de 1000 brits)
Via Digg, et certains commentaires sur le lien sont particulièrement intéressants.
AllOfMP3 pays everything they are legally required to pay to ROMS (the Russian equivalent to the RIAA). AllOfMP3 is not responsible for distributing those funds, neither is Apple. ROMS, or in America the RIAA, are responsible for getting the money out to people. AllOfMP3 is doing nothing unethical, and yes if ROMS is doing their job right, American artists are getting paid.
I buy maybe 2 or 3 songs a month from iTunes music store, but probably $25 to $50 a month goes to AllofMP3. You tell me which one is more profitable. The record industry needs to take a good hard look at their pricing model and do some experimenting with extremely low pricing (like 10 cents a song, etc). If they ran an experiment on iTunes for like a week, it would give them a good idea of whether or not it would be a good long term plan. They could just pass it off to the public as the 10 cent/song promotion week, and analyze all of the stats gained from it.
I buy stuff from AllOfMp3.com. Why? DRM. It’s not the price, it’s the DRM. I refuse to pay for music that includes DRM with it. I’d happily pay $0.99 to iTunes for each song if it meant I could do what I want with it, and get it in the format I want. I buy music from AllOfMp3 because they offer me the choice I desire. To me $0.99 per song in a proprietary format, at an unreasonably low bitrate, that only works in iTunes/iPod is not a choice. It’s extortion plain and simple. Someone show me another site where I can buy the music I want, in any format I choose, at any bitrate I choose, song-by-song, without DRM and I’ll happily switch. Price isn’t the issue here, choice is.
Etc…
Ca me semble du bon sens.
