Artists' earnings and copyright: A review of British and German music industry data in the context of digital technologies
Abstract: Digital technologies are
often said (1) to enable a qualitatively new engagement with already
existing cultural materials (for example through sampling and
adaptation); and, (2) to offer a new disintermediated distribution
channel to the creator. A review of secondary data on music artists'
earnings and eight in-depth interviews conducted in 2003-04 in
Britain and Germany indicate that both ambitions have remained largely
unfulfilled. The article discusses to what extent the structure of
copyright law is to blame, and sets out a research
agenda.
