One thing I don’t understand about Google and copywriting
Not so long ago, the news that Google, at the request of the RIAA, Google began to introduce methods of dealing with "pirated" requests (on the request of RIAA) slipped on Habré (see here ). Those. Google thoroughly caved in under the copywriter, obviously, having lost much both in money and in prestige.
RIAA, if anyone does not know - the main American copywriters from the music industry. Usually, they act in tandem with the MPAA - the main American copywriters from the cinema (and in the case under discussion, I think, it did not do without the help of MPAA). There are also rumors that Google has long been going to launch its music service (by analogy with Yandex.Music), but can not agree with the owners.
In general, the wicked American bigwigs of the media industry are so cool that even Google cannot cope with them.
')
But one thing still confuses me.
Let's look attentively at tsiferki. The turnover of Google is about 24 gigabytes (of which about 6 gigabytes of net profit), while it has about 12 gigabytes of free money.
Now look at the so-called. Big Four record labels included Universal Media Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group and EMI. In addition to Warner Music, all of them are part of large holdings and it is rather difficult to estimate their cost, but some sources give an estimate of 4.26 gigabytes for Warner Music and 2.2 for EMI - which, in principle, is not surprising, given the deplorable state of affairs in the industry (Warner for 2009 showed only 56 million in revenue - compare with 6 billion Google).
Wait, wait ... Google offered 10 billion for Google. For this money, it turns out, he could buy at least three of the four main players of this very RIAA, and even all four at once (if, of course, the anti-monopolists were allowed).
Attention, the question is: what the hell Google bends under them?
In order to make a revolution in the music industry, it’s enough for Google to take two steps:
1. Buy someone from Big Four, for example, Warner Music
2. Launch your music site with some human model (freemium, for example, yes or in general advertising)
???
PROFIT!
If Google at the same time saves the payment to the artists themselves, then all the other labels have no choice but to switch to a similar business model. They can, of course, file a lawsuit in court, but as long as the court goes, they will simply go bankrupt.
But google seems to be uninteresting. For some reason, he prefers to waste time and money on this RIAA. And it is absolutely incomprehensible to me.
