Off the Record
Published in French as Sortie de Disque. English edition not yet announced.
“How the record industry collapsed.”
1999. The record industry reaches its peak: 14.6 billion dollars. June 1999: Napster opens. In fifteen years the majors lose 60% of their value. 2014: the low point, 6.9 billion. 2024: back up to 17.7 billion thanks to streaming and vinyl, but the value goes to Spotify, Apple and Amazon, no longer to Universal, Sony or Warner.
From Sean Parker to Hilary Rosen, from Kim Dotcom to Jimmy Iovine, the meticulous account of an industry that killed itself by refusing to change. The first to fall. Not the last.
