Now in the music industry what a business it is. The complications of this cut throat business are huge. You can see in the articles that we read. How everyone is out for themselves and even though the band brought on millions of dollars. They would have made out better working at a 7-11. I believe the complications of getting that big name contract dicourage so many great artists. I have seen this first hand going to nashville and seeing all the kids with so much talent who will never get seen. The music industry is truly a cut throat business, yet i am not knowledgable enough to tell them how to change. I believe the artists should benefit more.
Buy itunes its the good thing to do.
I feel a little bad about getting music for free, but I haven't changed my ways..yet? I just know I wouldn't have enough to afford what I have... and my parents aren't that into music to buy me what I want. So, props to you for turning your ways around though.

ReplyDeleteBuying from itunes or other purchasing sites is the best, but I'm a bit like Rachel in that I probably wouldn't be able to afford the amount of music that I have. I go out and buy a lot of things, but if I like just a single, I'll get it by other means.
ReplyDeleteI like your final point--that the artists should benefit more. That's the bottom line here in my opinion. By whatever means necessary, the artists should benefit...and I can also kinda see a different viewpoint. Because artists barely make any money off of record sales anyway, maybe it's fine to download the music. Maybe the music is just a tool to get the artists' name out and make them more marketable to the public. Maybe getting their music for free can encourage more support of them in shows and endorsements. Maybe free music is the way to go in order to make bigger gains in other areas.....maybe
