Much of the recent chatter in the music/tech industry is the inevitability of consumers’ music collections being accessed and stored “in the cloud”. What would a cloud based service look like? Will there remote music lockers? Will it be streaming subscription services available on multiple devices? What are the licensing hurdles to getting there, and the compensation issues for content owners? Even more important, once all the recorded music is accessible, how do we extract value on the cloud? How do we get consumers to pay for it? And what are the implications for musicians? A panel of rightsholders, technologists and artist representatives will discuss the “cloudy” future of music access.
