revenues from gigs payable to artists will for the first time overtake revenues accrued by labels from sales of recorded music.

I doubt somehow that Mozart made more from sales of recorded music that from fees for live performances. Does anybody know more or less from when recorded music sales overtook revenues for live music for the, er, first time?

Re: Living on the Planet (4.00 / 2)

I somehow doubt that Mozart, who scuttled from one court to another living from patronage, would have objected to receiving royalties from his recorded works.

Re: Living on the Planet (none / 1)

I'm thinking an exceptional talent who died early in poverty may perhaps not be the ideal role model here.

Mozart did in fact make some money from printed music sales.
