Abstract: We test, on the one hand, whether information and communication technologies (ICTs) represent an investment that increases the average income of artists and, on the other hand, whether ICTs modify the distribution of these revenues. We use an original database from a survey of Associate Musicians of Adami. We retain two indicators of ICT investment: the use of a home studio and the presence of the artist on the Internet. We show that ICT investment increases average income and that income inequality increases with network effects on the Internet, but decreases with economies of scale allowed by new technologies.
