Random iPhone App of the week: UK Music, the Intellectual Property Office and Aardman Animations launched Music Inc., an app that lets users pretend to produce and mentor emerging artists. Players take control of writing and releasing songs and see the impact that managerial decisions have on an artist's career. This game views an artist's career from a business vantage, allowing players to better understand how the music industry works and how creators earn money for their work. One interesting aspect is watching how radio play, streaming music and issues like unlicensed usage and piracy can affect what an artist earns. The app is available for free in the App Store.
