Don’t know if you heard, but last week Universal Music Group completed its acquisition of Downtown Music, the parent company of CD Baby. The deal isn’t closed yet, but it has cleared its final major regulatory hurdle.
This means that CD Baby is now owned by the same mega-corporation that advocated for the 1,000-stream royalty threshold that redirected millions from smaller artists to larger ones.
So what does this mean for independent artists?
In this Indie Music Minute, Tony van Veen breaks down:
• The optimistic case for CD Baby artists
• The skeptical case
• What this could mean for indie economics long-term
• And most importantly, what you should consider doing now if you distribute through CD Baby
It’s too early to know exactly how this will play out. But when major ownership shifts happen in music distribution, independent artists should pay attention.
Knowledge is power.
