RE: The MQA Revenue Plan

Posted by Ivan303 on June 12, 2017 at 15:01:29:
I've done a few of those slide decks with 'revenue plans'. Fortunately not to the SEC and also not to anyone who could hold me to it.

Trust me, that ain't real money, that's just a 'plan'.

I really doesn't say who is pay what to whom for the TIDAL MQA titles, few that there are.

And, as it would seem, something a whole lot better than a 16/44.1 file is likely the starting point, and as one of the selling features to the record labels is that they are not REALLY distributing their master files but an 'encoded' version that can only be played on a licensed system, I'm guessing that all of this is happening at the label side and NOT in TIDAL's house.

Again, just guessing.

I'm also guessing that MQA, whoever they are, isn't getting rich on the TIDAL deal?

Maybe the TIDAL deal is a loss leader to spread the word and get the labels into the fold?
