Setlist: Has music copyright “never had it so good”?
By Andy Malt and Chris Cooke | Published on Monday 7 November 2022
CMU’s Andy Malt and Chris Cooke review key events in music and the music business from the last week, including former Spotify economist Will Page’s claim that “music copyright has never had it so good”, with – by his calculations – the value of the wider music rights business now almost $40 billion worldwide, and the changes over at Amazon Prime Music with more music but less functionality.
