RoyaltyShare Pulls Out Of Digital Music Distribution
Company spokesman Mike Kelly told paidContent that the economy had forced RoyaltyShare to de-emphasize distribution and lay-off two of its 30 staffers. Other employees are moving to the company's other operations.
Digital distribution is increasingly as commodity business with ongoing downward price pressure. Full service digital distributors like The Orchard, IODA and INgrooves are responding by adding new services like marketing and brick and mortar distribution to justify their fees.
It is very interesting to see they are out of this market. Over at RouteNote we are offering a discount to any artists or labels that move over to RouteNote.com
It’s very sad to see RoyaltyShare pull away from a such a market. WaTunes, a revolutionary service and the only service in the world to offer online music distribution entirely free welcomes their customers with open arms.
Creating an environment to where the artist has the power to take control of their music career is the overall core focus of what a powerful digital distribution service like WaTunes.com can provide.
