Ideal Music Store, Record Industry P.O.V.


  • You don’t own any music. We own it all, regardless what you may think you’ve paid for. At best, you’re rented our content. Any conversion of this content to another format requires us to ding your credit card.
  • Every time you play, hum, or think about music, we get to ding your credit card.
  • If we could figure out a way to rig a taxicab-style meter onto every device you own that is capable of emitting a sound, we’d do it. In a heartbeat. It would, of course, be pre-authorized to ding your credit card.
  • The revenue sharing structure between our industry and the musicians who create the music will be dictated by us. We will take whatever share of the proceeds we feel we deserve.
  • We reserve the right to change the rules, in our favor, at any time. We’ve retained the services of your (quite affordable) legislature for this purpose.
