Former CEO of Universal Music Germany Tim Renner has called for a culture flatrate in the german Rolling Stone magazine.
Renner said, potential music buyers could be offered unlimited access to the music industry’s repositories for €12,90 (~US$17,50) per month.
Furthermore at the address of the music industry he argues: “Instead of fighting with ghosts, it’s all about starting a business”.
In 2004 Renner left Universal Music and wrote the book “Kinder, der Tod ist gar nicht so schlimm” (~”Kids, the death is not as bad as it seems”) – his personal opinion to the music industry’s future.
