    How Will the Music Industry Weather the Globalization Storm?
    by Wilfred Dolfsma

    The music industry is in a genuine maelstrom at the moment. Globalization is
    affecting this industry more than many other industries and it is primarily
    induced by developments in Information technology. The foremost avenue for
    change is through the institution providing the foundation of the industry -
    copyright, which will be largely disabled. The oddly global and local
    structure of the music industry will be undergoing some fundamental changes.
    The roles of music publishers and record companies especially are about to
    alter. In an institutional economic analysis, I will analyze the present
    situation in this industry, where Information technology impacts on this
    system, and how in general the industry is likely to change.
