Economics of Music (Audio) Rights

I was wondering why someone would buy Pritam's Sinngh is King music rights for 5 Crores. Hence, I tried to perform some number crunching. Here it goes….

Cost of Music Rights		Rs. 3,50,00,000
Price of a Audio CD		Rs.110
Price of Casette		Rs.48
Projected Sale of CD	2,50,000*110	2,75,00,000
Projected Sale of Casette	2,00,000*48	96,00,000

 

After doing the basic maths, I find it little amusing. After all, it doesn't seem that much bad economics provided they are able to sell good number of music CDs. I believe, Telugu movies are still able to sell good number of CDs / cassettes even now. Probably, they should release the official mp3 also for some Rs.8 or so to make life more interesting.

Tour De France

I love watching this program live on Ten Sports - what a scenic countryside one can view over 14 days of Cycling sport... Try it folks !

Run Away

Come on Tamil Folks... Listen to the recent releases of Hindi - Jaane Tu, Kismet Konnection, Sinngh is King, Rock On etc...

Tamil Music is totally disconnected with the Bollywood trend of music.

When are you going to run away from Kuthu Songs?

Chokers deserve to lose

Indians choked in Asia cup finals against Sri Lanka. They were mesmerised / hypnotised in Mendis's bowling attack. I am happy in this defeat like a pervert due to the following reasons:

1. I was astonished by Dhoni's Luck and his horoscope for quite some time. All the 9 grahas were roaming behind him in the last two years. Probaly, they started taking some rest.
2. Indians cricketers mostly choke in finals & the data shows it. They have hardly won 2 finals, 2 shared out of 21 appearances. Dhoni was reminded about it & Ganguly must be smiling.
3. No one can have the cake and eat it too. These guys made some obscene money in IPL and they should feel bit let down on some days. So all i am saying, they cant have huge bank balances and enjoy it 24/7.
4. I am really looking forward for implementation of player rotation policy.

Wimbledon 2008 - update

I am very happy to see Nadal cruise through Federer in Wimbledon finals 2008. Nadal deserved the cup as he was playing extremely well in 2008 when compared to Federer's form.

81minute rain break gave the fighting spirit back to Federer and that brought out some outstanding tennis, performance from both the players in 3rd, 4th & 5th sets. But Federer is still the most stylish, graceful player tennis has ever seen !!!

As for as the Women's tennis goes, Chinese tennis player Zheng Jia turned out to be the charm and attraction of 2008. All the top seeds like Ivanovic, Maria disappointed. Sania is sure to disappear into woods as for as singles tennis.
