Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world. It was once so rich that Concorde used to fly from Caracas to Paris. But in the last three years its economy has collapsed. Hunger has gripped the nation for years. Now, it’s killing people and animals that are dying of starvation. The Venezuelan government knows, but won’t admit it!!! Four in five Venezuelans live in poverty. People queue for hours to buy food. Much of the time they go without. People are also dying from a lack of medicines. Inflation is at 82,766% and there are warnings it could exceed one million per cent by the end of this year. Venezuelans are trying to get out. The UN says 2.3 million people have fled the country - 7% of the population.

YouTube hopes to build on its strength by offering a subscription music service,


YouTube hopes to build on its strength by offering a subscription music service,

As YouTube prepares to launch its subscription music service by the end of the year, the digital music giant is seeking to capitalize on music fans' desire to have access to their favorite songs everywhere they go.

The company's free online video site already is the most popular on-demand music service in the world and has surpassed radio as the leading way teens and young adults listen to songs.

The new service, designed to give paying subscribers commercial-free access to music videos on their portable devices — as well as the ability to store videos and playlists on these gadgets — underscores the importance of smartphones and tablets to YouTube's future.

"Mobile is becoming absolutely enormous for YouTube," said Forrester Research analyst James McQuivey. "The fact is that music has always been a medium that most people are going to want to carry with them and have available at all times. When … you add the visual component of the music video, you're simply sweetening a pot."

YouTube executives have said about 40% of its viewing already happens on mobile devices. Indeed, more than 50.5 million Americans watched videos each month on their cellphones in the second quarter of the year, according to measurement firm Nielsen.

Music videos are among the most sought-after content for YouTube's 1 billion global users, with a popular song like Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" or Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" attracting hundreds of millions of views.

This has made YouTube the dominant online music site, dwarfing its few competitors.

"YouTube is the No. 1 music search directory in the world. The vast majority of the most-viewed videos on YouTube are music," said Richard Greenfield, a BTIG media analyst. "It's a natural evolution to figure out a way to generate increased engagement around music."

YouTube's mobile application lets smartphone or tablet users watch an unlimited number of music videos on these devices, so long as they are connected to the Internet. In some cases, this free mobile access is limited to the official version of the music video. The proposed subscription service, which could launch as soon as December, would allow the user to store, or "cache," these videos or an entire playlist on their devices and watch without the need of a wireless connection.

"Caching is what's critical to mobile," said longtime label executive Ted Cohen, who runs a digital media consulting firm. "Music services are easier to use in St. Louis than they are in New York City because they still haven't wired the subways with Wi-Fi."

A spokesman for YouTube said the Google Inc. unit had no news to announce, but added, "We're always working on new and better ways for people to enjoy YouTube content across all screens, and on giving partners more opportunities to reach their fans."

YouTube's entry in the music subscription business will raise the competitive stakes for such players as Spotify.

"This is a big game-changer for Spotify," Cohen said.

Subscription services are a modest but fast-growing segment of the music business, which in the United States derives more than half of its income from digital sources.

Revenue from subscription services such as Rhapsody and paid versions of Spotify, streaming radio services like Pandora and non-subscription streaming through YouTube and Vevo accounted for about $1 billion in 2012, or about 15% of domestic music sales of $7.1 billion, according to the Recording Industry Assn. of America.

The YouTube subscription service also would integrate with Google Play Music All Access, which for $10 a month affords subscribers unlimited access to its music catalog, the ability to create personalized radio stations and recommendations based on an individual's taste, according to people with knowledge of the situation who were not authorized to speak publicly.

David Bakula, senior vice president of analytics for Nielsen, said the service would leverage YouTube's strength in digital music.

"Obviously YouTube understands the importance of the music consumer to their site," Bakula said. "The volume that we see coming from music streams on YouTube, that kind of volume comes with great potential, great potential for monetization, great potential for serving their viewers."

A premium music service would provide a source of recurring revenue for the music companies, which also receive proceeds from advertising associated with music videos on the site.

Evidence of YouTube's growing clout in the music industry will be on display at the inaugural YouTube Music Awards, to be held Nov. 3 in New York. The show is scheduled to feature appearances by such major acts as Avicii, M.I.A., Eminem and Lady Gaga.

Hollywood executives predict technology-fueled changes..


Grainge has devoted his career to the business, having worked with and signed a multitude of songwriters and artists, including U2, Elton John, ABBA, Eurythmics, Metallica and Amy Winehouse. These days he's been focusing on building digital distribution models and technology partnerships around the world (and serves as a United Kingdom trade ambassador).

Some of that Grainge gravitas was on display at this week's Innovation Forum, a two-day event in Los Angeles that attracted prominent players from media, technology and venture capital -- and a surprise remote appearance by British Prime Minister David Cameron from 10 Downing Street (who put in a plug for British film and TV production).

One session featuring some of the biggest names in Hollywood -- Grainge, Sony Corp. of America Chief Executive Michael Lynton, William Morris Endeavor Entertainment co-CEO Ari Emanuel, DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg and FX Network President John Landgraf -- produced some surprising insights about the intersection of technology and entertainment.

Katzenberg predicted that a decade from now, Hollywood films will be ubiquitously available a short time after their theatrical debuts. The price people pay to watch a movie might well be dictated by screen size -- in his words, "based on the square inch," almost like commercial real estate.

Moviegoers who want a high-quality theatrical experience -- one that could include drinks and a meal, and the best possible projection -- could well pay $35 to $45, Katzenberg said. Those who prefer to watch on a smartphone might pay less than $1.

"Pricing has been screwed up through our industry for a long time," Emanuel said. "We'll get to the right pricing."

The idea of price based on screen, while on its face radical, is not that big a departure from Hollywood's current release strategy, known as "windowing." These days, the price a consumer pays is based on the amount of time that has passed since a movie screened in theaters (the longer the wait, the cheaper a film becomes).

Lynton said technology is driving an even more fundamental transformation in Hollywood. People are getting away from the idea of ownership, he said, and increasingly paying for access to content. (Think Netflix, whose U.S. users pay an $8 monthly subscription fee and gain immediate, unlimited online access to its catalog of movies and TV shows instead of buying DVDs.)

"That's going to change everything we do, in terms of film and content," Lynton said. "People are breaking that emotional hold of 'I have to own it if I'm consuming it.' Once that shifts, a lot goes with it."

FX's Landgraf -- who has helped shepherd the cable network's edgy scripted dramas like "Sons of Anarchy" and dark comedies like "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and "Louie" -- predicted a revolution in TV advertising.

"I'd say pricing is broken in advertising," Landgraf said. "Not only do you have to watch 20 minutes of advertising, it's incredibly irrelevant to you."

In the future, Landgraf said, technology will enable advertisers to more precisely target TV audiences through "addressable advertising."

"We're going to be able to reduce the amount of advertising you watch by 50%," Landgraf said. But "everything you are watching is going to be relevant to you. If you don't have a dog, you don't see an ad for dog food."

Bootleg music downloading a thing of the past? Not so, study says...


Bootleg music downloading a thing of the past? Not so, study says...

Americans downloaded nearly 760 million songs using the BitTorrent file-sharing network in the first six months of this year -- surpassing the number of digital tracks purchased over that same period, according to a new report.

BitTorrent's technology allows Web users to share large files by downloading small pieces from many computers at once. Although not all music available on BitTorrent is pirated the majority of the songs delivered through the network are not licensed.

The findings of London researcher Musicmetric suggest that turning to the courts to block access to sites that facilitate illegal downloads -- as happened earlier this year in Britain, where Internet service providers were ordered to block access to the Pirate Bay -- is doing little to deter piracy.

"There was no significant change in the number of illegal downloads," said Marie-Alicia Chang, Musicmetric's co-founder and head of business development. "In other words, if people want to combat it ... singling out certain services isn't really going to do anything."

The U.S. continues to lead the world in BitTorrent use, based on Musicmetric's examination of individual file downloads.

Americans used the file-sharing network to grab 97 million albums and singles in the first half of the year (assuming an album contains 10 tracks, the total number of song downloads would exceed 759 million). By contrast, U.S. consumers bought 698 million digital singles in that period, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Gainesville, Fla.; Albany, Ga.; Fairbanks, Alaska; Lexington, Ky.; and Tallahassee, Fla., lead the nation in per capita downloads. But big cities including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago lead in total BitTorrent use.

The most popular downloads read like a Billboard chart. They include L'il Wayne and Drake's "The Motto," Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Watch the Throne" and Big Sean's "Finally Famous." In Los Angeles, rapper Tyga, music producer and DJ Skrillex and the rock duo The Black Keys are more popular than elsewhere in the country, based on BitTorrent downloads.

Online piracy decreased slightly in countries where people have access to licensed streaming services such as Spotify and Pandora, which serve as alternative sources for free online delivery of millions of songs. Spotify is available in five of the 10 countries where use of BitTorrent is shrinking -- including Britain and the U.S.

"If you're trying to kill piracy by whatever means, whether it's by legal means or by creating new ways for consumers to get content, you need to know if you're having any effect," said Gregory Mead, Musicmetric's co-founder and chief executive. "We report the numbers."

More than 50,000 musicians have money waiting unclaimed...


More than 50,000 musicians have money waiting unclaimed...

By Alex Pham

This post was not written by a Nigerian prince.

SoundExchange, a nonprofit group that collects digital music royalties on behalf of artists, on Wednesday said that around 50,000 musicians have unclaimed money with the group totaling more than $31 million. The amounts range from $10 to $100,000 per artist or label, the group said.

Those who want to see if a check is waiting for them should visit SoundExchange and check the database.

Among the names listed are Mark Wahlberg's hip-hop band Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, The Smith Westerns and Joaquin Phoenix. It's not just musicians who have money waiting for them. Sinbad, whose spoken word albums have been part of an increasingly popular comedy genre for Internet radio shows, is also on the list.

Created in 2000, SoundExchange collects performance royalties from digital radio companies offered by services such as Pandora, Clear Channel Communications' iHeartRadio and SiriusXM's satellite radio. Traditional AM and FM radio broadcasters are currently exempt from having to pay performance royalties, though artists and digital music companies are lobbying hard to change that.

The sums collected from online, cable and satellite radio are nothing to sneeze at. More than $1 billion has been paid out to artists and record labels over the years, the group announced in June.

The amount keeps going up as the number of Internet radio listeners continues to grow and as SoundExchange succeeds in recruiting more artists to come pick up their royalty checks. In the first quarter of this year, it paid out $108.6 million, the first time SoundExchange exceeded $100 million in payments in a three-month period.

Shakira mulls possibility of Arabic-language record

by Matt Glazebrook, Posted May 31, 2011

While plenty of her pop contemporaries struggle to express themselves coherently in one language, Shakira has long composed her idiosyncratic pop ditties in both her native Spanish and her English second tongue. Now she's just showing off, preparing to expand her songwriting fluency to another element of her expansive cultural make-up.

Though she was born and raised in Colombia, Shakira's father is an American of Lebanese descent and she credits her Arabic background for the Middle Eastern influence in her tunes and her propensity for belly-dancing on stage. According to Contactmusic, she is considering brushing up on her already-impressive language skills to make a more complete tribute to her heritage.

"It would be a challenge to do an album in Arabic, but I would first have to learn Arabic," she explains. "I am completely open to that experience -- at some point I would love that to happen in my life." At the moment, Shakira's Arabic extends as far as saying "ateeni boosa" which apparently translates as "can I have a kiss?"

A more tricky proposition is coming up with the Arabic for "lucky that my breasts are small and humble / So you don't confuse them, with mountains".

Shakira played her first concert in Arabic speaking Morocco on Saturday (28.05.11), closing the Mawazine World Rhythms Festival.
The 'Underneath Your Clothes' star has also previously been approached by Bollywood film makers about starring in an Indian production, which would likely see her singing in Hindi.

Music labels lash out at Amazon's cloud service...

Amazon is in a battle royale with music labels over its digital music locker service.

Launched on Monday, Amazon's Cloud Player is drawing criticism from record companies chagrined that the Seattle company did not secure music licenses from labels and publishers before releasing its service.

Sony Music Entertainment said in a statement, "We are disappointed that the locker service that Amazon is proposing is unlicensed by Sony Music, and we hope that Amazon will resolve the situation quickly by agreeing to a license with us. We are keeping all our legal options open."

Sony's spokesperson, Liz Young, declined to define "legal options" and whether the company's statement suggests Amazon's service violates any sort of copyright law.

On Tuesday, Amazon fired back that it didn't need licenses to launch its Cloud Player, which lets users upload songs and play the music from any Web browser or device that uses Google's Android operating system.

Because the files belong to users, Amazon isn't required to obtain licenses to be able to store them on its servers and make them accessible to users. But that requires users to upload their music, a process that could take hours if not days for large song collections.

Competing services such as Rdio, which has licenses from the major record labels for a locker service, scan a user's computer to take an inventory of songs on the hard disc drive, a process that takes minutes if not seconds, and instantly make those songs available to stream.

Amazon continues to negotiate with record labels for locker licenses, according to an executive with a major record label. But Amazon's preemptive strike in launching the service without those licenses have irked the record companies. One executive told Billboard that Amazon's service was "third-rate."

Sony has hesitated to jump on board with so-called cloud services because of concerns about users uploading pirated songs to the lockers, along with legitimately purchased music, according to executives familiar with the negotiations.

If this tune sounds familiar, it's a variation on another kerfuffle the online retailer had last year with book publishers. Amazon triggered an uproar last year by insisting that Kindle versions of new releases be sold at $9.99. Publishers rebelled, saying the low price cannibalizes sales of hardcover bestsellers, priced at $25 to $30. The upshot? Amazon caved in, allowing some publishers to set the retail prices for Kindle versions of their titles.

Can't we all just get along?

Thank you Los Angeles Times

Cloud-based Music Streaming Will Be Dominant by 2016 (Study)

Shift due to growing use of mobile devices for listening.

By 2016, cloud-based streaming services will become a more important form of access to music than owning albums, songs or tracks, forecasts ABI Research.

"The number of subscribers to mobile music streaming services is expected to approach 5.9 million by the end of this year," analyst Aapo Markkanen said. "ABI Research believes that number will exceed 161 million subscribers in 2016, meaning a compound annual growth rate of nearly 95%."

ABI Research attributes this shift primarily to the growing use of mobile handsets, especially smart phones, as listening devices.

The study suggests that the service providers that enable these new models, such as Rhapsody, Melon and Spotify, will be among the biggest winners from these developments.

"Record labels, producers and other middlemen whose businesses have been shaken by content piracy also stand to gain from streaming services as they have an opportunity to monetize a lot of consumption that would otherwise take place outside their revenue base," ABI Research predicts.

The study also suggests that retail prices for music-in-the-cloud are expected to decline, but that's not certain, practice director Neil Strother said.

"Forecasts of declining prices are based on the assumption that the rightsholders will lower their royalty demands," he said. "Record labels and collecting societies should not overplay their hands when it comes to royalty issues. If consumers do not have convenient and affordable legal alternatives, they will simply enjoy their music by other means."

Rdio CEO Drew Larner on the future of digital music subscriptions...

Apple Inc.'s announcement last week that it would start enforcing a 30% tariff on subscription services running on its iPhones and iPads sent waves of sturm und drang through the digital entertainment landscape.

It seemed to be particularly bad news for music streaming services such as Rhapsody, eMusic, MOG and Rdio, which already pay more than half of their revenues to music publishers and record labels for the rights to stream millions of songs on demand. Slicing an additional 30% for Apple would leave these services with little left over to run their businesses, according to Rhapsody Chief Executive Jon Irwin.

Drew Larner, the chief executive of San Francisco-based Rdio, recently gave The Times a more sanguine point of view.

"Apple is obviously a very powerful and successful company, but it's not the only platform out there," Larner said. "There will always be multiple ways to access music."

Apple's curveball is only the latest challenge to hit the music subscription business, which has struggled for years to get traction with consumers. Music analysts have estimated that the total number of subscribers in the U.S. who pay monthly fees between $5 and $10 has been stagnating at around 2 million, even though such services have been around since 2001, when Rhapsody launched.

Even so, Larner, a former executive vice president of Spyglass Entertainment and before that vice president at 20th Century Fox, said there are several reasons to think subscription music services will eventually thrive. Here are five:

1. The lightbulb moment. Most people aren't aware music subscriptions exist. Even giant retailer Best Buy, which purchased Napster, has had some difficulties marketing the service. Larner believes that once people catch on that they can get access to virtually any song they want on demand for less than the price of a CD per month, they'll pull the trigger.

"Subscription music services will still take some time for people understand why it is the future," Larner said. "Once we reach the tipping point, though, I think it will move quickly."

2. Idiot-proofing. Until recently, many services came with a number of head-scratching limitations. Some services worked only with certain devices. Others were saddled with lengthy copyright restrictions meant to curb unauthorized copying.

Now, there are fewer restrictions and device compatibility is much less of an issue. "The labels have become much less restrictive and more forward thinking with their digital strategies," Larner said.

3. Smart phones. They comprised 31% of the U.S. cellphone market in the fourth quarter last year, according to Nielsen, and are projected to hit 50% this year. Able to reliably stream music from a wireless connection and cache thousands of songs in their generally prodigious memory, smart phones have become portable mini-computers for a large chunk of the population. As a result, music subscription services are able to run far more seamlessly between a computer account and a mobile account, Larner said.

4. The What-to-Listen-to-Next problem. Earlier services played only what listeners directed them to play. But most people didn't want to constantly mess with the settings and had a hard time figuring out what to play next once they've run through their own top 40 list. Next generation services, such as Slacker and Pandora, solved that problem by asking the listener what they like to listen to, and then playing a constant stream of music that's similar.

The latest generation of music subscription services, such as Rdio, try to take things one step further by incorporating what their subscribers' friends are listening to. "It's Twitter meets Facebook meets music," Larner said.

5. Better software designs. It's not just about making the services easy and simple, Larner said. It's also about designing digital music services that let people can manage the thousands of albums they like to listen to while also discovering new music. This, as with points one through four, is a work in progress.

Will Apple's subscription plan slow down the work further? Most think that it will.

"The mobile platform as a whole is providing a growth opportunity for the industry as a whole," said David Krinsky, chairman of the subscription services working group of the National Assn. of Recording Merchandisers and head of label relations at Rhapsody. "To threaten that is extremely concerning."

Krinsky and Larner agree that most music subscription services would be forced to pull out of the iPhone and iPad if Apple follows through with its 30% levy in June.

Larner, for one, is looking ahead to see what's next on Rdio's playlist beyond Apple. "We've seen great uptake on Android," Google's mobile operating system, which made up 27% of the smart phone market in December, according to Nielsen. Rdio, founded by Skype creators Janus Friis with Niklas Zennström, also works on Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system, BlackBerrys and, as of Thursday, Roku players.

"It's an opportunity for us to push the gas on distribution on other available platforms," Larner said.
