In Defense Of 1,000 True Fans - Part II - Matthew Ebel
,----[ Quote ]
| What I find most striking about this
| interview is the fact that Matthew makes
| 26.3% of his net income from just 40 hard-
| core fans.
|
| Imagine what it will be like for him when
| he gets to 1,000? The other thing that
| really stood out for me is the fact that an
| artist like Matthew (who is totally
| comfortable with Social Media and extremely
| Internet savvy) has very little idea what
| to do with analytics that he is gathering
| via Google Analytics, CrazyEgg.com, and
| Compete.com, as well as email stats via
| Blue Sky Factory.

Ignoring P2Pers costs music biz dear - survey
,----[ Quote ]
| A think tank survey into UK music fans
| suggests that timid major record companies,
| obsessed with "cannibalisation" and
| "substitution", have spent a decade barking
| up the wrong tree.
|
| The Demos report, sponsored by Virgin
| Media, suggests file sharers aren't the
| wreckers of civilization they're painted to
| be - but failing to convert them into
| paying punters has cost the industry dear.

Swedish judge to Pirate Bay admins: shut down or face fines
,----[ Quote ]
| The founders of The Pirate Bay could face
| fines in Sweden if the popular torrent
| tracker remains online. A court has banned
| them from continuing to operate the site at
| the risk of hefty daily fines. The admins,
| however, are no longer in Sweden and claim
| that they are not involved with the website
| anymore.
