PANEL 2: HEY, HEY…GET OFF OF MY CLOUD:
The Battle to Control &
Monetize Music in the Cloud
Who’s in it? Who’s
going to win it? Announcements about new market entrants and
speculation that Spotify, Apple and possibly Google may launch
their cloud-based services in the United States
have created new questions and a lot of buzz around the concept
of "music in the cloud". How are business models progressing and
what more needs to be done to fully legitimize cloud-based
distribution channels? What kinds of marketing and promotional
tactics show the most promise for profitably exploiting these
uniquely consumer-based systems?
What does the future hold for cloud-based music services?
