MIDEM 2009: FILLING THE DIGITAL SPACE.
While tensions between labels and both Apple and YouTube continue to dog the development of the digital market, the rash of new download services coming online to fill the digital void has boosted the chances of many indies to sell their music and begun to fill the coffers of the majors
By Adam Woods
The digital music market has arguably seen more meaningful activity in the past 12 months than in the previous couple of years, as new services, new models and, gradually, new customers have come on board.
Almost more remarkably, in a market known for its clashes and deadlocks, recent months have also brought the occasional quiet indication of satisfaction among content owners and distributors.
"Overall, I think there is a lot of excitement," says The Orchard vice president retail marketing Prashant Bahadur. "A few new services have shown interesting signs and there is definitely a lot of hope for the coming year."
Of course, among the hope is the usual allocation of disappointment.
In December, a report from technology news site CNET suggested that Universal is bringing in around $100m from video streaming - most of it apparently from Google's YouTube.
