Page 9: G322 Piracy

Music industry is still losing out to internet pirates on a huge scale, with an estimated 95% of music available online being downloaded illegally.

Industry is forced to employ marketing ideas such as Radiohead's "pay what you like" album In Rainbows and Coldplay's move to give away tracks to promote their album.

UK Record industry lost £180m in 2012, and more than £1bn in 2013.

Example

In contemporary media practice, institutions such as SONY are forced to think of new ways to sell their products in order to avoid online piracy. In December 2013 SONY, via their offprint label Columbia, released Beyoncé's self-titled album online with no previous marketing. This meant that material was not leaked online and exposed to illegal downloads. It also meant that media interest was generated due to the unusual release pattern, which in turn generated extra sales. However, reports have shown that Beyoncé's album was still illegally downloaded 240,000 times costing SONY £2.5million. This would suggest that even the largest conglomerates are unable to avoid piracy despite adapting the methods in which they sell their products.
