Imagine a world where to listen to new music you had to:
-
Go to a store.
-
Buy a CD.
-
Hope the song isn’t terrible.
Yeah, it was like that.
Until Steve Jobs showed up… and said, “Let’s change the music industry forever.”
🚀 On April 28, 2003, the iTunes Store was born.
Over 200,000 songs available legally online.
For 99 cents each.
(Way less than the fine for illegally downloading MP3s on Napster, just saying.)
🎧 The iTunes Store wasn’t just a store:
✅ It changed how we consume culture.
✅ It saved the music industry from digital collapse.
✅ It created the modern concept of a content marketplace.
💡 And what does this have to do with the digital creative economy?
ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.
-
It made buying music a 100% digital and global experience.
-
It kicked off the on-demand content sales model.
-
It paved the way for Spotify, Netflix, Amazon Prime, TikTok, OnlyFans, you name it.
🎯 Moral of the story:
Sometimes, it’s not about creating more content.
It’s about changing how people access the content.
