The future of the music industry
ILLEGAL DOWNLOADS – HOW IT IS THREATENING THE FUTURE
OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

   File sharing has become easier and extremely common over recent years,
       websites such as ‘pirate bay’ and ‘limewire’ are allowing this to happen
       and illegal downloading to occur. For the artists and record labels this
       means large amounts of money is lost, if a record label has no money it
       cannot sign bands/artists; therefore the potential career for future
       artists is threatened.
   This has lead to the recent introduction of the ‘Digital economy act’, which
      has been introduced to prevent illegal downloads and file sharing. This
      means that consumers who download music illegally can be caught and
      prosecuted.
   However some argue that illegal downloading may pose advantages, some
     artists believe that illegal downloading gives them promotion;
     audiences can explore an artists music before buying, therefore
     drawing a wide audience. Also it can persuade audiences to spend
     more on live gigs.
‘Last.fm’ and ‘itunes genius’ recommends new music for you, so you don’t
   have to; based on the genre and artists you listen to. This therefore has
   become one of the top ways of discovering new music. The introduction
   of Twitter and blogging websites have also allowed the discovery of
   new music to become easier.
This has only developed in the last 20 years, this type of music sharing and
   music discovery did not exist in the 70’s and 80’s; new music was often
   played on radio stations. Although this is still popular today It is not
   often used compared to use of the internet.
