There are a lot of internet players trying to get into the "streaming live music" space – mainly because the old business models for recorded music are such a shambolic mess.  The problem is that there are damn few ways to monetize this effort and tons of competition.  Anecdotally, the only guys really making coin are iTunes and whoever owns the routers that are handling all that traffic from\"Jimi_poster\"<\/a>
\nLimewire. <\/p>\n

The latest attempt to carve out some elbow room is this, from Wolfgang’s Vault. <\/a> This is a site devoted to selling classic rock memorabilia – concert tees, tickets, photos, etc.  And not cheap stuff either – the website’s owner, Bob Sagan, got all this stuff from legendary promoter Bill Graham’s estate. The issue of whether or not he has the right to stream these amazing videos is still unsettled. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to Rolling Stone, Sagan bought the stuff from
\nClear Channel back in 2003 for about $5 mill. There are about 6,000 concert
\nrecords, of which maybe 700 have been digitized and put up online. The way they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re
\ngetting around the law is to claim that Wolfgang\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Vault is an internet radio
\nstation. <\/p>\n

[Sagan] pays performance royalties through a service
\ncalled Sound Exchange and songwriting royalties to publishers on all the music
\nhe streams. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We have rights as owners to
\ndo what we can within the confines of the law,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he says, arguing that the site\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s
\nsecurity, which includes requiring users to register, is enough to stave off
\nmost bootleggers. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why we protect
\nthe hell out of the security of the stream. And that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why we do it for free.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n

But the model here would seem to be – attract eyeballs by giving away this content for free – and check out some of these legendary acts: <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Holy Christ. The guys from "High Fidelity" would be rolling on the floor, having epileptic fits at the idea of being able to glom onto this kind of content.  Whenever they want. On whatever platform they want.  For free. <\/p>\n

Sheesh. Top that, Yahoo Music.<\/a><\/p>\n
