News Corporation espera fechar venda do MySpace em junho

0,,21166796,00

O grupo de comunicação News Corporation prevê receber seis ofertas de compra de sua rede social MySpace no final desta semana, com a previsão de fechar sua venda em junho, informou o “The Wall Street Journal”.

O MySpace foi adquirido pela companhia do magnata Rupert Murdoch em 2005 por US$ 580 milhões quando ainda era a rede social mais popular da internet. A empresa agora esperar receber menos de US$ 100 milhões pela venda.

Todas as empresas interessadas na compra do MySpace são do setor de entretenimento e internet, como os fundos de investimento Thomas H. Lee Partners, Redscout Ventures e Criterion Capital Partners, assim como uma companhia chinesa e a plataforma de vídeos musicais na rede Vevo.

Após perder a batalha com o Facebook pelo domínio das redes sociais, a News Corporation tentou fazer do MySpace uma ferramenta dedicada à música, ao entretenimento e aos games, mas seus planos não tiveram os resultados esperados.

Em março, o tráfego do MySpace foi 49% menor que o registrado no mesmo mês de 2010, além de ter sofrido queda para 36,1 milhões de visitantes únicos, seus piores números desde fevereiro de 2006.

No último trimestre de 2010, a divisão à qual pertence a rede social dentro da News Corporation registrou perdas de US$ 156 milhões.

Reuters afirma que Apple vai bater o Google no serviço de música “na nuvem”.

A Amazon, através do lançamento de seu serviço de música “na nuvem”, se antecipou e roubou uma fatia de mercado que o Google irá buscar. E agora parece que a Apple também irá se antecipar ao Google com lançamento de seu próprio produto.

Segundo a Reuters, a Apple “já finalizou o serviço de armazenamento online de música e está pronta para lançar à frente da Google”, mas a reportagem ainda afirma que nenhuma licença sobre as músicas foi assinada…

Katy Perry’s Twitter Tirade About Product Placement: An Executive Weighs In

Even though product placement has become standard in music videos, Katy Perry recently felt the need to take to Twitter to defend it. After a Perry tweet last week that some in the media interpreted as criticism of product placement in Britney Spears’ new video for “Hold It Against Me,” Perry posted a five-part message on her Twitter page to defend the practice.

“Dear tabloid media aka FILTH: pls note I expressed an overall feeling about product placement, their roles in vids & the art of them being [complementary] or sticking out. Most, if not ALL popsters welcome deals w/products 2 offset costs of big budget vids in these recessional music industry times. I’VE used them in MY vids before & am happy 2b able 2 make a better vid because of. Once AGAIN, stop pitting artists against artist for ur sensational satisfaction & stick to what ur best @: lying, gossiping, exaggerating & overall lending a hand 2 the deterioration of a generation.”

In the eyes of product-placement specialist Adam Kluger, there’s nothing to debate. “Every artist needs to do product placement,” he tells Billboard. “It’s as simple as that.”

Is Spotify Really Worth $1 Billion?

By Glenn Peoples, Nashville

Spotify has joined the $1 billion club, according to numerous media reports. Russian investor Yuri Milner, who has put money into Facebook, is said to have invested $100 million in Spotify through his Digital Sky Technologies fund. That investment is said to value Spotify at $1 billion.

That’s an incredible valuation for a company in a high-risk area where the two biggest companies (Apple and Amazon) only dabble in music. Pure-play digital music companies tend to have a more difficult time competing for market share and staying in business.

If you read my Spotify review in November (subscription required), you know I think Spotify is an excellent service. But whether or not Spotify is worth $1 billion is another issue. Even a great product can have a tough time creating a sustainable business.

Island Def Jam, Echo Nest Launch Groundbreaking Music Licensing Pact For Apps

Just go to any Music Hack Day — like the recent ones in New York and at the MIDEM conference — and meet the developers there working for free to create new and innovative music apps (many of which never see the light of day), and it becomes immediately clear this is a space full of tremendous creativity, contagious excitement and great potential.

The space is about to get even more interesting thanks to a deal between Universal Music Group label Island Def Jam (IDJ) and music app developer platform the Echo Nest. Under the terms of the agreement IDJ will become the first major label to make its entire catalog and roster available to developers in an open API (application programming interface) format.

The companies plan to announce the deal later today during a panel at the Digital Music Forum East conference in New York, but Billboard gained exclusive access to the details in advance.

It breaks down like this: developers signing up to use the Echo Nest platform will have the option to access the IDJ catalog without having to contact the label in advance for permission. Developers simply agree to the terms of service agreement and then are free to create any app they like using the label’s catalog with no upfront cost to license the music.

MTV to Launch OMAs, Digital Music Awards Show in April

MTV is naming its new digital music awards the OMAs – and leaving the “O” up for grabs.

The network is to announce Thursday that the O Music Awards will take place April 28. MTV is leaving the “O” undefined and open to interpretation from viewers.

The awards, the network said, “honor the migration of music to the digital space, and celebrate the art, artistry and technology of digital music.” MTV plans to present an untraditional, heavily interactive award show, spread out across multiple screens, including the Internet, social media and mobile.

MTV hopes the show will do for digital music what its Video Music Awards, launched in 1984, did for the music video.

“We think this space now needs an award show,” said Dermot McCormack, head of MTV Music Group digital. “We think we’re fairly well qualified to come up with a way of rewarding achievement in these new categories.”

MTV, which is part of the Viacom-owned MTV Networks, will later announce a “hub” for the event and categories. Categories could include things like best app and best Kanye West tweet. Social media buzz will play a role in choosing the winners.
