Music has always been at the forefront of shaping digital consumption, and nowadays fans around the globe are connecting with the artists and music they love in ways never before imagined. At this EIF debate, participants will have an opportunity to listen to the specific case studies from the representatives of the digital service providers. In particular, a recent IFPI's study will provide important insights into the dynamic and rapidly evolving ways in which fans are enjoying music around the world. It will serve as a basis for a discussion on the challenges and opportunities for policymakers in this area.
