La gestion des DRM en perspective

2.2- Annual subscription

The offer suggested by BMG via Wippit is a subscription of 30£ (53,8$) per annum^240(*) for a number of unlimited remote loading. EMI nevertheless negotiated an offer by title with 50pences (0,99$) not requiring the annual subscription.

2.3- With the chart

Within the framework of the formula known as « with the chart », if one re-examines the prices associated with the various above mentioned albums according to this offer, one obtains the following results :

Also, if it is more interesting at Numéricable to take the formula « subscription » it does not remain about it less than the formula « with the chart » allows a good quality ratio/price when the cost associated with the purchase with one with these albums.

At E-compil, the price with the title is rather expensive but simple in measurement or it acts of a microphone-payment of the audiotel type (1,35€+0,34€). ^241(*)

It is seen, the whole of the offers which are proposed propose models having a common base but which is different, are characterized by subtleties as well in terms of costs as of associated rights. Also, it would seem that it is a question, at present, to test various models of incomes and distribution through the various channels which exist in order to better determine waitings and the needs for the consumers/users^242(*) in order to propose to them from here some time one or more offers in adequacy with their waitings.
