El impacto del intercambio de música sobre la compra de discos y la asistencia a conciertos. El caso de España

Abstract

ResumenEn la última década, el intercambio de archivos a través de Internet ha pasado de ser un fenómeno circunscrito a una minoría de la población, a convertirse en un fenómeno de gran impacto a nivel social, mediático, económico y político. El motivo no es otro que la percepción de un elemento de causalidad directa entre el incremento de las descargas y la disminución de las compras de bienes culturales como los discos de música. Es lo que hemos denominado la perspectiva de la sustitución utilitarista. No obstante, otros estudios afirman que el intercambio a través de redes P2P no sustituye a la compra. Es lo que hemos denominado la perspectiva de la complementariedad del consumo. El presente trabajo pretende observar empíricamente esas relaciones (descarga y compra, y descarga y asistencia a conciertos) en el comportamiento de los individuos, utilizando para ello la Encuesta de hábitos de prácticas culturales (SGAE, Ministerio de Cultura, 2007) y aplicando dos técnicas multivariables: la regresión lineal de mínimos cuadrados (para el número de discos comprados) y la regresión logística (para la asistencia a conciertos). Como resultado, hemos averiguado que cuantos más discos intercambian los individuos, más discos compran en formato físico y más probabilidades tienen de acudir a conciertos. Además, encontramos otras variables que influyen en ambos comportamientos, como el nivel educativo, la edad, la situación socioprofesional o el ciclo vital asociado a la paternidad o la maternidad. Palabras clave: consumo cultural; industria de la música; Internet; intercambio de archivos; redes P2P; cambio tecnológico. Abstract. The Impact of Music Sharing on Album Purchases and Concert Attendance: The Case of SpainIn the last decade, digital file sharing has gone from being a phenomenon confined to a small share of the population to become a phenomenon with a great social, media, economic and political impact. The reason is none other than the perception of a direct causal element between increasing downloading practices and decreasing purchases of cultural goods such as music albums, what we call the Replacing Utilitarian Perspective. In contrast,

Consumption Habits of Recorded Music: Determinants of Flamenco Albums Acquisition

“…Herrera-Usagre (2012) endeavors to study in an empirical way the connections between downloading and buying, and downloading and attending live performances in people’s conduct through the Survey of Cultural Practices Habits ( Encuesta de hábitos de prácticas culturales ) (SGAE, 2007). It concludes that if individuals exchange more records, they will buy more of them in physical format, and, consequently, they are more willing to attend live performances.…”

“…On the other hand, around a 6% more CDs were sold than in 2020 (https://es.statista.com/estadisticas/474727/musica-fisica-espanola-variacion-de-volumen-de-ventas-espana-por-tipo/). Some authors have called this phenomenon as the perspective of utilitarian substitution and have identified that certain factors such as educational level, age, socioprofessional situation of the life cycle associated with fatherhood or motherhood have influenced the music consumption (Herrera-Usagre, 2012).…”

“…Concerning human and cultural capital, ref. [54] tried to make an empirical observation of the relationships of download, purchase, and attendance at concerts in the behaviour of individuals using the 2007 Cultural Habits and Practices Survey of the Ministry of Culture, applying a least square linear regression and a logistic regression. He concluded that the more records individuals exchange, the more records they buy in physical format and the higher their likelihood to attend concerts.…”
