Decisive lawsuit for conclusive stake

The evolution of the music industry through streaming service, ringtones sales, music downloads, etc… asks a big issue for artists: how to consider the value of a sale or a license? How to compute royalties for digital music?
 

A new actor has come on the music industry market.

The major of onlines’sales Amazon outstrips Apple and Google launching a new offer of streaming service in the USA:  Amazon Cloud Player.

This service is composed of Cloud Drive, where you can stock your files, and Cloud Player, where you can read them. Files can be music, pictures or videos.
You can have a free access of 5Go space (1, 000 music titles, 2, 000 pictures or 20 minutes videos) or 20Go if you buy an album on Amazon. Then you can enlarge your space in paying a yearly rate.
Amazon has made available its offer on Android mobile phones but not on iPhones in order to be a competitor to iTunes.
