In 2022 vinyl records surpassed CD sales for the first time in 30 years, showing the remarkable new life for a format that was given up for dead at one point. Vinyl sales continue to grow and have become a major revenue source for artists and labels alike, but new changes to how the sales […]
Continue readingSpotify To Pull Out of Uruguay Over Poorly Written Law
It’s not unusual for lawmakers in any country to try to do the right thing only to fall pry to unintended consequences due to a poorly written law. This could be a hastily written amendment to a bill that is destined to pass, or just a bill that was either poorly conceived or not thought […]
