Fresh back from Midem, we’ve got a big feature in this week’s Music Ally report about the key themes from the conference: specifically how YouTube and Big Tech in general came under heavy fire from some musicians and labels for not treating the music industry with enough respect – yes, an old battle – but more usefully, a strong undercurrent of debate around how the music industry can build on the Big Tech platforms rather than just playing the victim. Meanwhile, our country profile is Canada, a market still struggling to make the full leap to digital, let alone negotiate the next transition from ownership to access.
