The View: 15% discount for MPA members
THEVIEW, which is edited and published by Phil Hardy, the founding editor of Music & Copyright, is the online music newsletter about the music business in all its various forms.
It offers a mix of analysis of the issues facing the business and solid reporting of the facts, with just a pinch of opinion. Thus, THEVIEW examines the cagey relationships between content owners and ISPs, consolidation in the Live sector, the actions of the regulatory authorities – and the responses of those being pushed! - as well as the transformation of the role of record companies, large and small, music publishers and the collection societies that digital is bringing about. At the same time through accounts of the financial results of the majors, authors’ societies and related music business players, THEVIEW will offer a full account of the current situation. Through a wide range of sector surveys and market reports, THEVIEW provides ongoing analysis of how the developing trends within the music business are working at a regional and national level. THEVIEW also mines the fascinating area of market shares, of the major international record companies and the leading music publishers on a global and national basis.
THEVIEW works this way. Subscribers get news alerts via e-mail when a new posting has been made on THEVIEW’s website (www.theviewfromtheboundary.com). The postings, which include hyperlinks to related postings, remain on the website, which includes a fully searchable database. However, if you want the convenience of the postings of the past two weeks collected together as a compendium that service is also available, at no extra cost.
As you can see from the quotes below, some people think we are doing a good job. We hope we live up to our reputation
Phil Hardy’s grasp of the interplay of finance, industry politics, and business objectives in every aspect of the music business is unmatched. His analytical ability has made him a "must read" journalist for senior executives across the industry for the past two decades. He not only connects the dots, he illuminates the entire landscape of the business with a scope and precision found nowhere else. Robbin Ahrold BMI
