音乐着火了

…2016年创纪录的销售额超过77亿美元,according to a music label trade group. While 11.4% higher than last year, sales still sit at about half of what the industry earned in 1999. So, why was last year the strongest in recent memory? Streaming. No surprises there. Striking, however, is that streaming now accounts for a majority of all revenue. More than downloads, and way more than physical CDs.

Wait…I Thought Artists Hated Streaming?

他们做到了。许多人仍然这样做。近年来，艺术家反抗Spotify和Pandora等服务，这导manbetx 2.0下载致创建了据称“艺术家友好”服务，例如Jay-Z的Tidal。甚至YouTube现在也提供了一项高级服务，用于听音乐和看电影。但是，这些都不是便宜的。Apple Music和潮汐的价格都在每年120美元以上。

So Where's The Money Going?

Good question. And the answer wasn't easy to find. The pie gets cut four ways: the label, the platform, the publisher, and the artist all get a piece...in roughly that order. The label will receive something in the vicinity of 60 percent, while artists will bring in mid-single to low double-digits.

流媒体服务对艺术家的manbetx 2.0下载薪酬相当秘密，这激发了一些愤怒。去年，歌手/词曲作者佩林·兰姆（Perrin Lamb）从Spotify出版了他的完整支出表，这表明他每场比赛仅获得0.004891美元。甚至像泰勒·斯威夫特（Taylor Swift）这样的超级巨星（Taylor Swift）在2014年从Spotify那里获得了不到500,000美元的巨额，也表示薪水是不公平的。如果去年的收入如此之高，那么潘多拉（Pandora）的收入很高，这是一个安全的赌注，唱片公司赚了一分钱。现在，随着更多流媒体服务的可用，艺术家和唱片公manbetx 2.0下载司将不得不选择如何分发他们的音乐。

Ford Pings BlackBerry

…To help develop wireless technology for connected cars.Ford Motor Co. (+0.00%) has hired 400 BlackBerry engineers in Canada to keep up in the race to automation. As motor companies young and old scramble to rev up production of self-driving cars, IBM's Watson has a leg up with its smart wingman: a patented technology to help humans regain control of automated cars in the event of an emergency.

Ford's gameplan is to advance its 'infotainment' system, which is currently powered by BlackBerry's QNX OS. That's not all-the plans include developing in-vehicle modems and device-to-device communication for the first generation of automated cars. This comes after Ford received a $154 million present from PM Trudeau to keep jobs in Canada.

H＆M感到零售的愤怒

…But its competitors don't.That's right, clothing retailer H&M (-4.01%) reported a 3% drop in profit YoY, and sales growth isn't where it should be, either. On top of that, the Swedish company's largest competitor Zara, owned by Inditex (-0.41%), reported a 14% increase in profit in the same quarter-as well as record sales. Ouch.
为什么命运相反？砖和砂浆商店左上关闭，right and Amazon's rapid growth, it's no secret that retailers are hurting. Even American retailers such as Gap and J.Crew have had numerous issues with declining sales and store closings. Zara seems to have successfully predicted these retail woes. Over the last year, Zara has channeled precious resources towards larger areas. Because H&M didn't ease up, it now must deal with a falling share price and more store closings. May the odds be ever in your favor.
