Chris Cantell Discusses Technologies: Noutati de la MySpace by Claudia Sonea

MySpace impreuna cu subsidarul lui Vivendi SA Universal Music Group, Sony BMG Music Entertainment si Warner Music Group Corp vor crea MySpace Music care va fi asemeni unui mare magazine de muzica online, produse si multe altele, astfel ca profilele a miioane de artisti vor fi introduse intr-un portofoliu unic pe site-ul social. Au refuzat sa furnizeze date despre parteneriat, preturi si profituri. DeWolfe, co-fondatorul MySpace si directorul executiv, a furnizat cateva detalii despre proiect precum faptul ca artistii vor putea sa-si vanda muzica prin intermediul downloadului, bilete la concerte sau produse promotionale. In plus, unele piese vor fi vandute fara masurile de protectie anti-copiere, ca urmare a aprobarii marilor case de productii de a experimenta. Totusi, asta ii face incompatibili cu iPodul lui Apple si intra stfel in competitie cu magazinele virtuale de muzica precum iTunes, Amazon.com, Napster Inc. si altele. MySpace Music va fi o companie separate cu un director ce va da raportul lui DeWolfe si unui consiliu de directori alesi de companiile de inregistrare. Ar putea sa fie privita ca o strategie de mentinere a conducerii impotriva lui Facebook care devine din ce in ce mai popular. Sau ar putea fi continuarea proiectului din 2006 cand artistii au primit unda verde sa-si vanda muzica direct de pe profile folosind o tehnologie care nu a fost niciodata integrata site-ului MySpace, dar care a inregistrat mai bine de 5 milioane de pagini ale unor mari artisti apartenenti ai unei case de productie sau independenti. MySpace a trebuit sa faca fata si unui scandal in 2006 cand a permis artistilor sa-si vandal muzica, Universal Music dandu-I in judecata pentru distribuire ilegala de muzica. Conform zvonurilor procesul s-a incehiat cu o intelegere, MySpace platind lui Universal $100 milioane. Chiar daca au pierdut bani atunci, nu va faceti griji ii vor recupera odata cu finalizarea proiectului. Delectati-va intre timp cu magazinul de muzica!
