IN THE AGE DF TECHNDLDBY, it turns out that the artist, not the publisher rules. On Oc-
tober 10, the British band Radiohead self-published their new album "In Rainbows" on
the Internet. Not only is the album available through Internet download only, but the
album has no price. When a customer clicks on "Checkout,® four words appear: It's up to
you. Radiohead has not released any sales figures to date, but a British website Gigwise.
com reports that sales exceeded 1.2 million copies in the first week. Radiohead's last Jj©-
lease sold a total of around 1 million copies. Polls show that customers are paying $2-$10
for "In Rainbows," much less than it would cost for a CD or for downloading each tune.
The very next day, on October 11, the music business was dealt another blow. Madon-
na announced that she has left Warner Brothers, her publisher and promoter of 25 years,
and signed a $120 million deal with tour promoter Live Nation, a company that has never
sold a single album. Other well-known artists have recently turned their backs on the
giant music publishers. Paul McCartney and Joni Mitchell released their latest albums
through Starbuck's. The Eagles' new album is available exclusively at Wal-Mart.
Traditional business models are drastically changing. The music industry has re-
ceived "a wake-up call which we should all Welcome and respond to with creativity and
energy," says EMI chairman Guy Hands. Actually, Napster was the first wake-up call.
"In Rainbows" is a downright revolution. What's the big deal? When a recording art-
ist's album is published by EMI, the artist receives a small percentage of profits. The
publisher keeps most of the profits. Radiohead has cut out the middleman. The millions
made by "In Rainbows" belong to Radiohead alone.
The Internet revolution has also hit the book publishing industry. Authors and their
readers are anxiously awaiting the outcome of a lawsuit brought by the Association of
American Publishers against Google. Two years ago Google began scanning into a data-
base the first page of every book in print. Under current copyright law, Google can't do
that without signing a contract with the publisher and paying for the use of the words on
the first page. The outcome of the lawsuit will redefine the use of copyrighted material
on the Internet and in CD-ROM format.
Stephen King's attempt to self-publish on the Internet was premature. In 2000 he
offered downloads of his novel The Plant for $1 a chapter, strictly on the honor system.
King promised to produce more chapters if at least 75% of readers paid. When only 46%
paid, King quit writing and abandoned the project. The experiment was ahead of its
time. MySpace came along only three years ago, followed by YouTube two years ago.
King's The Plant paved the way for Radiohead's success seven years later.
What does all this mean for the consumer? Record store giant Virgin Records has al-
ready closed its doors. Young people don't buy their music on CDs anymore. They down-
load songs. Will bookstores, also disappear? Most of the customers in my local Hastings
are renting DVDs, not buying books. Soon, we will be downloading movies and viewing
them on our TV screens. The DVD will go the way of the CD. As for the book disappear-
ing, Bill Gates says it will, others say it won't. Personally, I prefiji'reading pages, not
screens. The argument that we can no longer kill trees to produce paper is a valid one,
however. In fifty years,'we may lie reading holograms of books, magazines, and news-
papers that float allove our desks or laps. I could go for that.
