Terms of focus for answering brief:

PIRACY - The unauthorized use or reproduction of copyrighted or patented material.

Terms of focus for answering brief:

EMOTIONAL LOYALTY - The connection of consumers with their artists.

Terms of focus for answering brief: REMIXABILITY - The reworking of already existing cultural works.

EMOTIONAL LOYALTY Will increase a consumers willingness to pay and subsequently increase the artists revenue.

- So, loyalty = fans BUY the music = More Money

- Goal - Find a way to make fans more loyal.

EMOTIONAL LOYALTY - Extra merchandise - Documentary on how game was made - Exclusive In-Game Content - Fans are interested in how it was made, and feel more connected when exclusive/personal content and merchandise is released.

- We can apply this to selling music (CD’s)
