Abstract:

This investigation focuses on production-oriented mechanisms that influence the economic value of the music industry. It examines how artist rosters, the elimination of CD singles, and the economy affect industry sales. It also describes how new media sales, increases in artist, marketing and production costs, employee lay-offs, the end of the CD-replacement cycle, changing demographics, and used CD sales influence profits for the big 4 music companies. This paper argues the net result of sales decreases during 2000-2003 did not mean the music industry was losing massive amounts of money, nor did it mean it was going “out of business.” Several of the big 4 music companies increased their profitability between 1999 and 2003, which suggests file-sharing has had a minimal impact on industry net worth. The author suggests the music industry will be around for some time to come.
