We’ve come across this video of U2 manager Paul McGuinness offering his thoughts on digital music at Midem earlier this year.
He called it, “The Online Bonanza: Who is making the money and why aren’t they sharing it?” In this he had some tough things to say against, well, almost everybody – and predicted Apple’s move to offer subscription services through iTunes, which is theoretically coming along next month. Worth a watch/listen if you haven’t seen this before. (He also predicted a three strikes and you’re out scheme with ISPs, the evolution of a strong iTunes alternative and more – not at all bad for nine minutes chat).
