New Channels and Methods
Music is all over the
internet. The question is no longer to download or not. Musicians and singers
have to find other ways to make money, such as live concerts and
presentations. For the record companies, it’s too bad, but they have been
replaced. It’s all part of the technological advances. The world has changed.
Real Fans Get The Real Thing
Who pays when music is stolen? Singers, songwriters, musicians, album
producers, audio engineers, sound technicians, recording studio managers, and
many others that contribute to creating the music we love, and who depend on
a healthy industry for their jobs and their families’ income.
