Abstract
Expansion of music industry in terms of number of participants and financial turn-over has attracted interest to manage the supply sides of the digital systems. Challenges include increasing piracy and declining industry contribution to welfare of composers, performers and the general public through tax. This study analyses the case of Dar es salaam based Music industry with focus on ways to
exploit existing growth using e-Commerce technologies. Stakeholders in the music industry and key practitioners in e-commerce technologies were interviewed in various ways. Findings from the study are summarized and discussed. The study recommends that e-Commerce systems with tighter security features have dual advantages: de-infringement by reducing piracy and cost of distribution by reducing the middlemen.
