Zakelijke klant KPN krijgt alternatief voor jaarlijkse Buma rekening

KPN Software Online heeft een samenwerkingsverband voor onbepaalde tijd getekend met Tribe of Noise. Praktisch gezien betekent de samenwerking dat Tribe of Noise een online muziekspeler met rechten-inclusieve muziek via KPN zal aanbieden voor de Nederlandse zakelijke markt. 

Het Tribe of Noise platform is goed voor 18.000 artiesten uit 170 landen met eigentijdse kwaliteitsmuziek voor in een winkel, op kantoor of in de horeca. De dienst (zie demo) kost 15 euro per maand per vestiging, goedkoop als je bedenkt dat een ondernemer normaal gesproken tot honderden euro’s per maand kwijt is aan Buma/Stemra royalty’s. 

Via het fijnmazige online distributienetwerk van KPN Software Online, kunnen nieuwe, innovatieve cloud diensten , zoals Tribe of Noise, aangeboden worden. KPN stelt haar platformen ter beschikking aan toeleveranciers van slimme software en diensten die zelf niet de distributie-, verkoop- of marketingkracht voor handen hebben. Deze focus op smart partnering combineert het beste van beide werelden. Het business model zorgt voor een breed pakket aan diensten die goed aansluiten op de behoeften van de klant. 

Zowel KPN als Tribe of Noise verwachten met de samenwerking volgend jaar al duizenden zakelijke locaties in Nederland te voorzien van muziek via het internet.

Massive Spotify Competitor 1 Billion Paying Subscribers

I was triggered by Emily White’s post “I Never Owned Any Music To Begin With” in which she explains how her generation consumes music without the need to own music. A reality many SMEBBs (senior music executive baby boomers) still want us to ignore.

Quote Emily: “What I want is one massive Spotify-like catalog of music that will sync to my phone and various home entertainment devices… hopefully with more money going back to the artist then the present model”.

Hm, would this be the answer? One massive Spotify-like catalog, aka UberTunes, the size of Facebook (~ 1 billion, 15% of the world’s population) but with paying subscribers only. Of course prices of the monthly subscription fee should come down drastically to get enough people interested.

Spotify’s $10 per month is insane for many people on this planet. So UberTunes will charge $2 per month for an all-you-can-eat digital music service, giving you access to 20 million songs without geographical limitations. Half of them from major record companies, the other 10 million from emerging artists not known to any international audience yet.

Let’s do the math!

This might not sound like the winning business model to you but:

  1. Artists signed to majors today end up with less than 20%
  2. Independents, 100% in control of their music, will get at least 40% and even more if they bypass some of the non creatives

So my message to Emily: Thank you for the inspiration!

It will probably take many more years before a Facebook-sized company makes a move, the traditional music industry fully embraces the next generation customer and monthly all-you-can-eat subscription plans are priced below a “tall’ coffee.

But we should continue to question the traditional music industry models. Especially musicians should join the conversation, it’s your life and creativity we are talking about! 

Want to continue the discussion in real life? Join me and many other music industry executives at the Trigger ‘12 Creative Conference next week!
