In this digital landscape, it is entirely possible to attend a play in Sydney, view and exhibition in Bilbao and hear a concert from San Francisco without ever leaving your home. In London.

This has a clear impact on content, and importantly, content production.

There is a lot of nay-saying about the state of the music industry at the moment, and how it’s in the worst shape it’s been in since records began. But I think this misses the point. In politics, dictatorships have been proven time and time again to fail;  a monopoly in any context exists to benefit the minority. What we’re seeing now in the music industry is the great democratic movement; anyone can record an album, anyone can make a film and you can send it anywhere. The best stuff will still exist and the worst stuff will still exist; there’s just more of both.

I don’t see the problem.
