I’m all for turning positive on this but that’s downright being economical with the truth. Gores buys comprised a small holding and options at 220M , with the majority at substantially below that . Now come on , fairs fair please.
So you believe in an internal Industry revolution ?
I.e come record with us and get more money rather than the coffers of big boys. Let’s ignore the fact that they have total market dominance if you want to sell music . Pros and cons . I guess exploiting the power of social media following is the route to challenge .

Compete With spoitify and Apple is probably too strong a word right now. More like feed off their scraps .
Napster have 1 per cent of total market . To get to 3 per cent would be awesome , with a comparable decrease in costs paid to artists would be a successful business model .
More than that is dreamland including Ferrari’s and a new set of teeth .
Italian
I don’t understand your big words.
All over a sudden melody have the differentiated product to compete With and surpass Apple and Spotify.
As a group it also is now more diverse , and so if VR SUNK it could still do battle with today’s offering .
Thing about Napster this could well be the overarching brand ? Aimed at people with higher disposable income who recognise it. Thoughts on that ?
For me we will see a big animal swot away a fly with a takeout , or the Facebook play to become the third big music owner.
Loving life a F off u shorters . Now is time . But need next raise back at the 10p point to keep those horrible wolves at bay.
Ferret . Nine of your business . On the train or off it .
Key synergies will be commercial rather than cost base in my view . Better attractiveness to future telecoms deals.
King of nothing .
Find your own friends. Don’t need to be concerned with me.
Big filter button for you to use.
Another thought is that they need to prmotoe the he’ll out of this now to make sure the issue for working capital and integration Funding is much higher than 3.5p. Maybe they’ll kickstart live nation and theatre while shares are locked ?
Thoughts on Theatre :
Not sure what has been achieved with the 10m since last year . Platform build ?
Waiting game this one with covid .
Backed by players With deep pockets so original thoughts of this falling by the way side have now gone .
Primed for bigger take out once consolidation happens.
Integration does not always go well and interested to see how this will happen . Billion pound business in the making though. They are getting no more money outta me but will get my patience to 80p a share .
Mel
If melody alone now had 3m on their books what would they be worth . Reality is we have bought a break even business with the opportunity to sell to 3m plus.
Whether that is wort 70m remains but what is a fact is if melody had 3m base they would be worth the 220m valuation set out last year.
What material will shareholders get to vote at the AGM and does that include us mere PIs.
I’m glad I didn’t sell or go short because I love risk with a potential for a reward. Before this it was just risk. . Now there is activity it’s game on .
It’s a different beast now and I’m behind it . That sudden spike last month was clearly leaky leaky .
I now understand why AM sounded so secretive at the AGM , and why he turned down the alleged billion pound offer .
Will be Billion pound business this
Lemo you twit .
Was just reading something similar myself .
Why are people talking about trading reopening shortly . It’s a long wait .
Will be a quid soon
When you own over a million shares and the company go and do that . It’s why u own a million shares
Just reading about infringement of copyright by Napster .
Is our licensing groundwork a mitigation.
In any case Ready made subscriber base Ready to sell live to .
I’ve read it about 5 times.
Didn’t see that coming.
Brave Ambitious move.
Fund raise required.
Why are Napster selling ?
This will see board changes .
Is a a huge move, opens doors for more mighty deals.
I no longer own shares in a start up .
It’s why we are in . Dice has been rolled.
Wow
4 trading days left in the magical August .
Need a 7am BTS in the morning.
Stu
Really good article that . Looks like Drift have achieved more in this period than melody, re monetisation and speed.
First mover advantage is just a buzz word for AM.
Mel these are shark infested waters .
Trust no one .
