Chapter eight hundred and thirty second crossing the river and demolishing the bridge

Popular recommendations: Heavenly way of punishment for evil order to control beasts: pet beasts are just for me to tie up with bonds

When Saipan Music Store announced the first-day sales data after obtaining the Warner Records copyright library, the entire record industry was shocked. No one expected that digital music could explode with such great purchasing power.

But think about it, the sales volume of P2 phones has exceeded 10 million, becoming the fastest music phone in history to exceed 10 million. In addition, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, etc. have also launched mobile phones with MP3 functions one after another. In fact, there are more and more digital music users.

In addition, the Dimeng has exceeded 5 million sales MP3 users, and there are no fewer potential digital music users around the world!

Warner Records can theoretically get a share of about 210,000 US dollars for 350,000 US dollars for sales of 350,000 US dollars.

In addition to the sales of 150,000 ringtones, according to the ringtone agreement, selling a ringtone will be divided into Telecom, Symbian Music Store, Alcatel mobile phones and Warner Records. Warner Records can get about 35% of the ringtone income.

Warner Records can get nearly 50,000 US dollars for a 150,000 ringtone, which is just one day. Warner Records received a share of nearly 260,000 US dollars from the Symbian Music Store!

This share does not seem to be too much, but it is only the first day. And more importantly, this money tells the entire record industry that digital music can earn, and this is the most important thing.

Although there are still many criticisms about Warner Records, the voices criticizing Paul Vidic unknowingly became smaller. If the era of digital music is inevitable and physical records are really not sold anymore, then Warner Records may really set a precedent.

Who dares to say that in the future, the Saipan Music Store will really not make a fortune. Now the user scale of the Saipan Music Store is less than ten million. When the scale is reached in the future, it will reach 100 million, or even more, how many records can Warner Records get?

No one is worried about users of Saipan Music Store, and no one is worried about this even in the record industry.

Before, the Symbian Music Store did not have a large-scale promotion because there was no music copyright library. Even if it advertised, it attracted users and had no songs to listen to, and the user would probably not be able to stay when he came, and he would still go to several websites such as Scour.

But now, with the support of Warner Records' music copyright library, Saipan Music Store can naturally be promoted on a large scale. With the support of double-click, ICQ, Xueleshan online game platform, Feita Antivirus, Hotmail Email, IC TV station, etc., if the Saipan Music Store cannot attract users, other Internet platforms can close down.

It is hard to say who has taken advantage of the cooperation between Saipan Music Store and Warner Records, but the entire digital music industry has ushered in a new era, and everyone has heard this.

What is directly affected is the sales of music mobile phones and MP3s. Saipan Music Store has now launched multiple system versions such as Windows, Apple, INUX, etc., and has not been directly accessed in most parts of the world. In China, it is also looking for agents, Sohu, Yinghaiwei and other Internet manufacturers, all wanting to get the agency rights of Saipan Music Store.

Universal Records, Sony Music, BMG, EMI Records, etc. are still hesitating whether to transfer the copyright library to the Saipan Music Store, while other small and medium-sized record manufacturers have begun to quietly find Saipan Music Store.

Small and medium-sized record manufacturers are originally trapped in record sales channels. Why can the five major record groups sit on the pyramid of the record industry for decades? It is because they control the record sales channels all over the world of America, and record retail stores around the world are basically in the hands of the five major record groups.

If small and medium-sized record manufacturers want to sell discs, they can only be charged channel fees by the five major record groups, which is almost equivalent to paying protection fees. In addition, small and medium-sized record manufacturers, singers occasionally trained, will be poached by the five major record groups in a certain year...

Small and medium-sized record manufacturers cooperate with Saipan Music Store, which is the least psychologically stressful. As long as the record can be sold, you will receive money, who will give it to? Not to sell it?!

After the first day of the announcement of music sales, the copyright library of Saipan Music Store began to increase visible to the naked eye. It took half a year to increase from thousands of songs to 200,000 songs, and it took less than four days to increase from 200,000 songs to 300,000 songs, which can only be said that wealth is moving.

The daily sales of songs at Saipan Music Store have also continued to rise, and the small goal has also changed from a monthly sales of one million songs to a week selling five million songs!

Seeing that there was an Internet gold mine dug out by Song Yang, the entire Internet industry could not bear it. Yahoo was the first to announce that it would launch the Yahoo Music Channel, followed by AOL, Microsoft MSN, Lycos and other Internet giants, all want to squeeze in to get a share of the digital music, but like the Symbian Music Store, they all play genuine music.

A strange scene suddenly appeared in the entire digital music industry. Music websites such as Sapster were chased by several major record groups and RIAA. On the other hand, Sapster Music Store was a success and its valuation began to take off on the spot.

Wall Street is best at revitalizing, and has begun to take sides with Saipan music stores, and "digital music concept stocks" have also been played by Wall Street institutions.

Seeing this scene, no one would have thought that just a few days ago, the Symbian music store was still unattended, and was even ridiculed by some media with ulterior motives. Song Yang was stumbled, while Scour's valuation reached US$5 billion, and Napster's Sean Fanning was touted as a new generation of "genius" on the Internet.

The changing flag of the king on the city wall of the Internet made everyone unexpected. Yesterday, it was still a popular existence, but it fell from the altar today!

Faced with the lawsuit from RIAA, the America Recording Industry Association, Scour did not stand up and directly announced that he would admit all the charges, and then filed for bankruptcy on the spot. The valuation of $5 billion was wiped out, shocking the global Internet industry.

Scour shows the tragic Internet tragedy. When an Internet giant worth $5 billion fell, it didn't even cause any sensation.

Faced with a compensation of $250 billion, Scour and Kalanick could not afford to pay, and there was only one way to go to bankruptcy.

After bankruptcy, after signing several compensation agreements, Kalanick announced a settlement with the America Recording Industry Association.

There is no need to discuss Scour's bankruptcy. Kalanick will no longer be able to engage in a career related to Internet entertainment in the future. Whether it is Internet music or film and television, or video, Hollywood does not want to be disgusted again.

If you can escape the crime of death, you will inevitably be punished. In addition to Scour's bankruptcy and Kalanick himself also, you also have to bear the entire litigation costs, including compensation for several major record groups of $4 million. If Scour adds the salary costs of dismissing more than 100 employees, broadband and server costs, and advertisers' fees, Kalanick directly changed from the head of a giant with a valuation of $5 billion to an Internet "first loss" with debts of $10 million!

“I want to say that suing Scour is probably a wrong decision and I am not just trying to justify myself.

Although it may not be until the next few years to prove that I am not a liar. The Scour music website I expected was a model of Internet advertising plus membership payment. Perhaps in the future, such a website will appear to prove that everything I said may not appear!"

When he came out of the Los Angeles bankruptcy court, facing the investigation of a group of melon-eating media, Kalanick, who held the settlement documents and bankruptcy documents, acted very "quiet", although at this time, he had nothing left besides "quiet".

The media put Kalanick at this time together with the photos he had appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, forming a strong contrast.

Daniel Eck and Martin Lorentson, who are running a digital marketing company in Silicon Valley, also saw Kalanick’s down-and-out interview on TV.

It is said to be a digital marketing company, but basically the same work as double-click. They are advertising on the Internet for advertisers and publishers. However, the battlefield of this company is placed in old Europe led by Sweden. They did not dare to confront double-click head-on. They are living a good life now.

"Maybe, Kalanick is not wrong!"

Martin Lorentson said to Daniel Eck, who nodded unanimously, but it would be too early to say that the two of them would do something. The current digital music industry is fighting with gods and they don't have the right to intervene at all.

Maybe one day they will put this digital marketing company on the Stockmore Stock Exchange and they may set up a digital music website called Spotify, which will cause another wave of turmoil to the record industry...

Scour was straightforward and kneeled down without any resistance, which had a huge impact on several music platforms shared by P2P users.

According to America's law, as long as there is a first case of eucalyptus, there will be a judgment based on the first case of eucalyptus.

Kalanick promised him that he would make a comeback this time and would help him make a comeback in the future, so he knelt down very simply and admitted defeat and announced that he would not play anymore. However, Napster and Sean Fanning did not want to give up directly, so they formed a lawyer team and prepared to fight RIAA and Hollywood, which surprised everyone that Sean Fanning was tough. With Kalanick's example in front, they were not ready to let go.

But just when Sean Fanning was about to come to the dock, he got the Saipan Music Store, which had the record copyright, and then he went to the backhand to destroy the bridge. Saipan Music Store announced that it had officially applied to Capitol Hill with the America Internet Association to pass the "America Digital Copyright Protection Act".

As soon as this news came out, the entire Internet industry was stunned.

"Song, congratulations, this giant beast in the record industry has been tamed!"
