An extensive study into the effect of digitalization on the music industry in Norway has shed an interesting light on the position of artists today, compared to 1999. While the music industry often talks about artists being on the brink of bankruptcy due to illicit file-sharing, the study found that the number of artists as well as their average income has seen a major increase in the last decade.

Interesting indeed, and good to see that the trend of earning money by playing live is still on the up. However, I'm not so sure it would look the same for other countries as Norway is pretty loaded compared to most and in this economic climate most other countries probably have to cut art grants in favour of health/edu/etc.
