So why was this not more widely adopted? I mean, if you want to convince a corporation to adopt some business model, all yo have to do is show it's more profitable. Or is that naive?
How do you demonstrate that a fan is more profitable with something more than speculation? In a way that can still be charted in a PowerPoint for the suits to see?
You demonstrate the opposite; that pissing off fans is unprofitable. The music industry is no stranger to speculative charts and graphs; they use them all the time to justify their stance on piracy! "Potential revenue lost".
