Overheard At Music 2.0

"There is a lot of concern about CD sales dropping off a cliff at some
point, and digital potentially not being able to grow fast enough to
offset that…We’re going to have to get good at all of these ancillary revenue streams and see what works." – David Ring of Universal Music
eLabs.

"We could monetize file-sharing tomorrow, but it would just be one small part of the puzzle" – Ken Bun of Hollywood Records

"There is this (revenue) huge gap that won’t be made up…And if it is filled, the
labels won’t be around anyway."  – Fred Goldring of lawfirm Goldring, Hertz, Lichtenstein.

"…We are very much in lockstep
with the industry…If that is a major shift in what [the labels] have
experienced with our competitor, that’s good. We’re trying to build
this together." – Chris Stephenson of Microsoft.
