“His effort to build a business around one of the Internet’s most popular video genres represents a new focus for the beleaguered music industry – one in which advertisers are more important than retailers —-”

For “great experiences” read torrents, but not the good kind. Rather, lovers of corporate music will be swamped by floods of advertising they didn’t ask for, and don’t want.

EMI is currenty going through its death throes with Warner Music salivating on the sidelines. “Nonetheless, it’s “considering joining the Vevo partnership” and “last week became the first major music company to offer videos on Hulu,” says the story, which has stating:

“We’re trying to restore the premium luster around music.”

Not only but also, “we’re trying to show brands that music builds a crowd and draws an audience like it has for thousands of years.”
