Abstract
Recently introduced subscription-based online music services are beginning to realize the dream of a celestial jukebox — near-instant access to a near-entirety of recorded music. This paper examines music industry business models, features of existing online music services, and impacts of copyright law on these services. Under current copyright law, subscription services will likely only benefit the major music labels at the expense of the listening public and independent artists. This paper suggests best practices for subscription services and copyright law changes for a more balanced, beneficial outcome for artists and consumers while ensuring a viable music industry able to support continued creativity.
