The article analyzes the organization of the Brazilian record industry in digital market by observing the electronic companies. Adopting a political-cultural approach to the markets, it seeks to demonstrate that the power relations
that make up the market for physical discs are reproduced in the digital environment. The hypothesis is that the power to dispose of music catalogs controlled by record companies
and artists becomes a critical vector to the development of electronic business and, from their control, establishes a division of labor among those companies. Observing and
comparing websites related to music, the analysis leads to the conclusion that the unequal sharing of catalogs among electronic companies creates a concentration of the distribution of digital phonograms without a centralization of music production, creating a “concentration without centralization” of the digital record market.
