From KCRW’s On the Beat – Last month, the legendary rock band, the Allman Brothers, filed a lawsuit for $13 million against Universal Music. The Allman Brothers contend that Universal has been shorting the band their full compensation for the sale of their music on outlets like iTunes. The Allman Brothers are hoping to make their case an example for other recording artists with similar contracts. Cheap Trick has already filed suit, and many in the business are watching to see how these lawsuits will finally play out.

Innovations in the marketplace require contractual clarity, for the fairness of all involved. But before the 1970’s, no one was thinking about their digital future. Who could have imagined new distribution pipelines, created by third parties who would parse out a digital song file and sell it at the click of a mouse.

This panel discussion took place at the RSA regarding the future of radio.

The UChannel, Princeton’s eclectic education video blog, has a great summary:

Radio as a medium of culture and information is about to undertake a paradigm shift. It’s not that radio needs a new story, it has one already. The question is how are we going to adapt to it?

Future radio offers radical new ways of engagement. The opportunities offered by high speed connectivity between portable handheld devices, the wide take up of wi-fi internet broadband, the nascent vitality of social networking sites and the inevitable process of human viral networking will increasingly define the future radio landscape.

Future radio will be a multi-media, downloadable, time-switchable, podcastable, portable, interactive, international and consumer-led process.

Are we ready for it? Can we afford it? Can we afford not to afford it? Do we have to let go of all we hold dear? And how do we ensure that a remarkable radio heritage is not lost in the process?
