The measurable music industry, as described by Britain's Chief Measurer of Music Industry

Last month, I recorded a video of PRS Chief Economist Will Page delivering his State of the Music Industry address at a Born to Be Wide event in Edinburgh. This is a video that has done the rounds, and Will has been somewhat floored by the response it has received.

This video has been shown in the corporate boardrooms of major record labels, Google, the collection societies - and has been republished by Techdirt, Hypebot and Digital Media Wire.

So chances are, you may have already seen it - but just in case you haven’t, I think this shines some light into the discussion. I’m actually a little embarrassed that it’s taken me this long to offer it into the conversation.

Enjoy.

This talk was worth attending the Wide Days event for all by itself - thanks for posting it Andrew. Listen and relax...

Good looking on the video.
I think alot of the cd sales are going down
because the artist are selling themselves, so
there is really no way tabulating that. We need to
see if the orders of cd duplication and replication are
going up or down.
