In class we looked at the music industry and how it has changed in the last 10 years. We focused on looking at how the production, distribution and exchange during the last 10 years.
We also looked at the article ’Music is thriving, but the business is dying. Who can make it pay again?' It talks about the music industry and how they are in serious financial trouble" Sales were down 7% last year in the UK and by nearly 10%in the United States, the world's largest music market." this was in 2010 they came up with these figures now in 2011 going on to 2012 it must of become even more worse.
The main reason for this the internet and illegal file sharing it has become easier to share music more than ever before with social network with like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube. It has become more easier for upcoming artists and unsigned artist to create their own music because of all the new technology like adobe soundbooth were you can recode your own voice create and mix your our music with out the need to have a music contract.
