Meanwhile, experts familiar with the business of acquiring copyright and related rights suggest that “Akado Capital” is trying to bring the business of selling music to break-even. “There are schemes in which the operator pays the right holders, say, $ 1 million for a certain number of tracks to download, and only then, when the operator pays for the rights holders, can he make a profit from the purchased tracks,” explains the specialist who wished to remain unnamed.
Representatives of “Akado-Capital” note that their scheme is different from that described. “We have no right to disclose our scheme, I can only note that we work using other principles of interaction. And the introduction of a new service, of course, is intended to popularize the ability to download music from our portal. When we enter into agreements with the owners of related rights, the number of tracks in our catalog will exceed 1.5 million tracks. I hope that by this time subscribers will get used to the new service and will actively use it, ”says Dmitry Zakharov, head of the Akado-Capital company press service.
